FOUND!!!

The earrings have been found! Just as I thought, I put them in a little ring box for "safe keeping"... and proceeded to leave them in England at my mom's!! I'm so so relieved, I seriously shed tears over this episode!

In other news....we are home from our cruise! I have so much to post about, not to even mention that I haven't really touched on our Christmas vacay yet! I promise I will soon....

BUT, first things first. I have just spent the past 20 minutes or so watching Oprah and crying. Nothing about this is very unusual (for me, anyways)....except for the fact that I was watching mothers and children dying and suffering in Haiti. I feel such overwhelming sorrow for the people dealing with this tragic disaster. I cannot wrap my head around it, how did we get to be so blessed? The people of Haiti have a long history of struggle, and now this on top of everything. It must feel like the end of the world to them. I wish I could help, but really really help. Like be there to calm down the child who has just lost his whole family, or the mother holding her dead infant. I cannot stop crying!!! It makes me feel so lucky, and I have to say a bit selfish too. I am however, very very greatful for what I have in this life. I am loved and I love, and I have all of my most basic needs and then some met. Please take a moment everyone and say a prayer for those in Haiti.

Heart broken....

I have an AMAZING husband. He never ceases to surprise me every Christmas and Birthday with some kind of thoughtful and heartfelt gift. This year was no exception....2 days before we left for England it was my birthday. And he gave me these....
....gorgeous diamond hoops. I LOVE them....and so I wore them over there. Everyone who really knows me know that I love to accessorize, and so about a week into our holiday I took out my precious new hoops and jazzed up a different outfit with some cute chandalier style earrings...then I kept changing my earrings all holiday long with different ones. Now I am home. I am unpacking. And....I can't find them. Anywhere. Are they lost in my mom's apartment? She checked and can't find them yet. Were they stolen by the house cleaning staff in Spain? I DON'T KNOW. How can I have ALL of my other jewellery and not these??? And I have A LOT of jewellery. So where did they go??? I'm so depressed, I can't even write about our trip yet! But I will. Later. When we get back from our next trip...Mexican cruise, we get home next Tuesday. Wish me luck finding them, I am DYING!!!!!!!!

You gotta do what you gotta do....
