Is this me?

January 1, 2012 has just begun.  2011 has been a busy year.  Stanley was born March 17, 2011 and has been a joy for me.  I invited them to move in with me so they could save some money for a house of their own.  So in September they moved all their stuff in with no storage space to spare. 
We re-did the basement with subfloor and gorgeous walnut flooring and added a closet, new windows, and painted the walls and ceiling, new light, fixtures.  I can hardly wait till they move out so I can have a fantastic rec room again.  It is wonderful having them here.  My daughter–in–law is the best.  She can cook like a professional chef and is always surprising us with a new recipe.  It’s great.  She loves to clean which is a bonus.  Mikes a great handyman to have around too.  David is still at home too and adds to the spice of things here.  I have been challenged at work and really like to go to work most days.  I still buy lottery tickets and if I win I plan to retire ASAP.  I won $22.00 yesterday.  My mom came to visit me this year.  What fun we had.  We reminisced about her past and all her boyfriends.  She was quite the popular girl.  She was the Veronica (as apposed to Betty, from the Archie comics.) of her time.  My daughter Laura graduated from Medical school and is now home with us here in Guelph,  She is currently applying to many hospitals in Canada to get a job.  She has 3 interviews in January, Toronto, London Ontario, and Regina Sask. 
Do I have any new years resolutions?  Just a couple and that would be to exercise more and not to spend too much money.  I would like to get my blogging back too.  So for today this is it and I will try to entertain you in some upcoming blogs.  Nette
