I spent most of December at Katie's house watching Giada, until she left for the Carolinas. I didn't get a lot of time to bake and decorate this year. We still had a nice Christmas and New Year's Eve. The trees looked great once I finished them, and I was able to get my cookie gifts done. Many nice presents this year. I hated not having Katie (and Giada) around, though. I'll post some pictures later.
Katie and Giada are coming home tomorrow. Katie will go back to George after a few days, but Giada is staying home, meaning I get to dog sit again. Fine with me, I love that dog!
I had leftover Christmas/dog sitting money, so I decided to go ahead and buy American Girl's Girl of the Year, Joss. She arrived today and I totally love her!

She has a hearing aid!

I was bullied as a kid because of my hearing aid. I would have loved a doll like Joss then.
Quick Fuck Cancer update: My next quarterly check up is on February 4th. I'll probably have to have a scan, because it's been a year since the last one. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything continues to be clear!
