CAUTION: Woman In Progress

This has been a roller coaster year, for sure. Lots of crazy, lots of good, lots of joy, and lots of woe. But we endured and survived it with great hope for a happier, less strife-filled 2017. Actually, my expectations for 2017 are low but I'm faking it til I make it, yo. Today is the last day of work for us university employees and I am off to funner pastures until I return on Jan. 3rd. Until then, I leave you with a little glimpse of my life lately. Enjoy! And Happy Christmas to All and to All a Good Rest! Libby and I have a habit of snuggling while we sip our coffee with our poop emoji slippers on. Well, MY poop emoji slippers although she does try to steal them occasionally. She thinks they're a toy. Snapchat strikes again! lol Mama and I played hooky one day last week and escaped to Tupelo. First stop?

Every year I force Libby to do a selfie-shoot with me for our Christmas card photo. I did this LONG before smartphones made selfies popular. Back when I had an actual digital camera and it took WAY longer to take a good one because I couldn't see what I was shooting. But thank GOD for smart phone cameras that make selfies so much easier. But even with them being easier, it's still a bit of a tussle getting Libs to cooperate. haha And no, the final photo that made it to the card didn't actually have the tree in the background, either, because she wouldn't let me move around to where the tree was in the background and I didn't want to ruffle too many of her feathers since she was actually letting me take selfies. lol
