I have always loved cold weather... In all honesty it is my favorite time of year.. I love that my favorite holidays are in the winter.

I dream of living somewhere with snow because I luh-ove it ! I would own a snowmobile and I am pretty sure that I would break my ass several times .. from being crazy .

The only thing I can tell you is that winter does NOT love me right now. Apparently knee surgery and cold and humidity do not mesh well. I went for my second MRI of my surgery knee. I am a little nervous as Thursday I have to have my knee jelly shot. No they are not really shooting grape jelly into my knee but this drug called synvasc. I am honestly a little terrified.  I hate feeling bitter towards my body part but truly this knee has been more trouble that it is worth.

Thus begins my fantasy Christmas List 2011

Dear Santa...

I know that I am not always the best girl . But I am a good girl . I am hoping that I made my way on your nice list.

It has been a really tough year with the two surgeries and I guess it would be too much to ask for a brand new knee ... but .. if you happen to have one lying around .. well I won't complain.

I  normally make a fantasy Christmas list of all the things I would like to have but KNOW I will never receive .. so without further ado Santa here is my list .

This year is pretty bleak financially and I am not really expecting gifts , so I will continue to be thankful for my health.. .my family , my dogs , my turtles and all the things this life offers that may seem small or unmentionable.  

Don't worry Santa.. the cookies and and hot chocolate will be waiting for you regardless...

Much love,

Shibari
