It is once again, freezing in here ! We have a nice toasty fire, however my son is hogging it all. He fell pretty hard during gym class yesterday, they Ice Skate. So now he is the one with the bad back. I really feel for him, I mean he’s only 12 and his back is achy. I guess they gave him hockey skates instead of figure skates and he has Never been on hockey skates before. I could not figure how he fell so hard, but now I understand. I wrote him a note to excuse him today, but tomorrow he will be back on the ice; with figure skates that have the teeth on them so he can stop and not biff it! I hope he will be okay. He has had weeks of skating lessons when he was like 6 or 7, so I figured he’d remember how to skate, uh, I was wrong, he is starting from scratch. At least it’s only his butt and back that hurt and he doesn’t need any Washington DC plastic surgery.

Since it has been snowing all day today, I have been thinking about Marzipan. We make Marzipan every Christmas holiday and I think we have eaten it all. It lasts quite a while in a cool room, and keeps very fresh too. It is a tradition we do every year. We have so much fun making it. The only way I can explain is we form the dough into friut shapes, its kinda like playing with PlayDough, so fun ! It is a blessing that none of us have cerebral palsy. Anyways, now I am stuck eating Valentines heart shaped chocolate. Here is a couple pictures of some of the shapes we make.

As I was driving down the road today on my way to work, I was thinking that the month of January sure went by fast this year. Usually January is a depressing month for me, but this year it has not been too bad. Plus, I totally spaced out yesterday. Yesterday, January 27th is the day my divorce papers were signed by the Judge. 10 Years Ago. It is rather hard to believe it has been that long already. My son is 12, which means he was 2 when it was finalized. I still have a very dismal attitude regarding marriage. I know I am not ready to even think about getting married as I really do enjoy being single. I am pretty happy the way I am and right now I don’t want that to change. I like being happy. I like doing stuff with my son and my family. If I want to get cosmetic dentistry I can do that too. I can do whatever I want to and don’t have to check back with anyone. It’s a nice feeling.
