Thanks to everyone who stopped by to see that I have had nothing to say here for almost 3 months!! I really am not the silent type, but there have been distractions and sooo much CLACK to catch up with that my head is spinning...that is GOOD!!!

I do want to send a SHOUT OUT to my new friends I made doing WFI this season. Despite working another retail Christmas, I found quite a few hours to dedicate to this cause and it was certainly a highlight of my holiday season! We promoted TBAF, laughed, wrapped, laughed, shared stories...it was just GREAT!!! I cannot say enough positives about our co-ordinators, Lisa and Doris, who set this up for the first time in the Cleveland area!!! Go Girls!!!

I am still trying to recover from the major disappointment of my beloved OSU Buckeyes' loss in the National Championship game :( I cannot believe Clay blogged just as I was returning home from a gathering to support the team...The Quote from Gilda Radner was my undoing, as the first words hit a strong note with me, as I was so hoping for an OSU win!! The reality check was that my disappointment stemmed from the loss of a GAME, when she was referring to the impending loss of her LIFE!!! I just don't know how Clay does this...finds something relevant and posts it just when you need it the most. Serendipity indeed!!!

This blog also made me realize, once again, that I fantasize of a time when I could just sit in a corner somewhere and just talk to him as a friend, sharing those philosophies and pondering a way to save the world of its' atrocities!! I hope his "real" friends appreciate what a special person they have in their lives!

I'm counting the minutes I have until my final vacation from 2006 is over and I have to return to the "real" world. Is there a group of elves who appear in the midst of the night to take down and put away the Christmas decorations???If anyone knows, please send them over to me!!! I fear things will stay "as is" until I feel the need to "dust" the tree! HA! Speaking of trees...Doesn't Clay owe us a pic on the OFC of the official "FAN" tree? I guess he was planning on doing it "SOON"!!!

Until next time... Denise
