Life!?!

I have a new great-nephew:
Xavier James Hauser, and he is beautiful beyond words. I can hardly wait to see him and hold him. He weighed 10 pounds. We bought baby clothes for him in July and I hope they fit. My sister and I thought my niece was having a small baby but we got fooled.

My co-worker's dog died. She was a lovely Yorkie, and I was so fond of her. We all are so upset. She got sick a week and a half ago, and now she is gone.

I am looking forward to the weekend; I was so sleepy this morning and did not want to get out of bed. I made oatmeal raisin cookies again last night and these were better than the ones I made Sunday. I tweaked the recipe a bit by adding more flour, using pecans instead of walnuts and adding vanilla chips. Mrs. Fields, move over. Everyone in my lunch group raved about them. My family is devouring them in record numbers.

I want to see the new movies coming out tonight: "The Family that Preys" and "the Women". I don't have time tonight because I have a women's meeting at church; don't know if I will attend, and since Justin has a rehearsal, Friday is usually the day I spend with my husband. So I just may wait until Monday or Thursday of next week to go.

I miss my sister like no body's business; I do wish she lived closer. Since my mom is gone, she is the only female I can share with. We would have so much fun if she was in the same city with me. Maybe one day. That is all for today. At least I am happy.
