Let's see- let's highlight the year...
- in February we learned that George's cancer had invaded the bone, and life suddenly felt very scary and desperate.
- in March I got the bright idea to launch a crazy little cookbook fundraiser to get George to a treatment center in California.
- in June my little niece, Genesis, was born on the side of the highway!!!!
- by October we had raised over $17,ooo. I am still amazed.
- in October we made the trip to the treatment center for 3 weeks!
- for Christmas we were able to take a trip to the Bahamas for a week.
All in all- not a bad year!!! I'm sure lots more happened, but those were the main highlights I can think of off-hand.
If you'd like to see complete pics of our Christmas trip, go here. Enjoy!!On the beauty front- I decided to fall for an infomercial and ordered the Wen Haircare System. It's all natural and supposed to do wonders for your hair (no harsh ingredients- no detergents). The reason why I opted to try it is because Melissa Gilbert is their main spokesperson- and I have to say, I just trust her. I mean, she was LAURA. (Also, I ordered Sheer Cover after seeing her talk about it on an infomercial, and I L-O-V-E it. Much better than Bare Minerals or some others out there (in my own opinion).) So, I trust Melissa (Laura!) and I feel like she wouldn't promote it if she didn't believe in it (no matter how much they pay her... yeah, I'm idealistic like that...). I haven't tried it yet, though, because, well, I've had a little accident. I was making dinner the other night, cutting up an onion, when the extremely sharp french chef I was using slipped- and sliced off a huge chunk of my fingernail all the way into my nail bed. Yeah. pretty horrible. So I can't get that finger wet now without it hurting like the dickens. So I will let you know soon how I like it- I think I may have figured out how to tape a finger of a latex glove onto my finger to protect it... I'd show you my boo-boo, but it's a little obscene. It's my middle finger... needless to say, I am having lots of fun holding it up for George to kiss. ahaha! he thinks I am having way TOO much fun with this. Not ME!!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful first day of the New Year- and may 2009 be a great year for us all!!!

I think I will try those products...How could Laura steer us wrong?
I am sorry about your finger....yow!
Hope you have a great New Year's Day!
Happy New Year, Gina & hubby!
Thank you for your sweet comment. I apologize for not being able to return the favor very often. As you can well imagine -- my life is no longer very orderly! :)
Blessings,
Lacy & family
Laura would never steer you wrong. Unless, of course, you are Nellie.
I have almost ordered that several times! I can't wait to hear how you like it. I'm just not sure how I would feel about it not lathering.....old habits die hard! I trust Laura too! I'm sure she wouldn't steer you wrong :)
Oh, I got a gift card for 100% Pure and ordered several items, face wash, shower gel and lotion. I love them all!!!!!! No bad stuff either. I also love their customer service, so helpful and they are introducing shampoo this year.
Can't wait to hear about WEN!!!
