that is Merry Xmas in Dutch. A couple of weeks ago, i was actually watching some TV and a Walmart commercial came on [of all things, right?]. anyways, the commercial ended with a little jingle, saying: “i’ll be home for the holidays.” and i promptly started crying. haven’t seen my family in almost 3 years, and haven’t been back to Holland in about 5. it’s been so damn long, my passport has expired. needless to say, i think 2006 is the year i need to go to Holland and catch up with the family. the holidays are always a bit rough, despite the tremendous amounts of love i’m so grateful to be surrounded by…it’s still a little bit hard. Paul and i are off to santa rosa to spend xmas with his family. i hope your day will be wonderful and warm. thank you for your friendship: you make my world a better place to live. thank you. pocketful of smiles sam

paul gave me an early xmas present: a rubik’s cube! and it has been consuming many hours of my recent days. about 6 months ago i was bored & it occurred to me that if i had a rubik’s cube, i’d be playing with right then. that thought continued to fleet through my mind so much that it was all i could think of i wanted for xmas. i wonder what brought it on, though. kind of a strange thing to obsess over. hank was probably tired of my whining, so he got me one! yay! i am a happy sam :-)
