So...there are rumors swirling that Deidre Hall will reprise her role as legendary Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of our Lives. Of course, if you want to go by her married name(s) then it would be, Dr. Marlena Evans Craig, Brady, Black, Brady, Black, North, Black. Haha! :) Okay...so it the show gets crazy at times! Anyway, the only reason I saw rumors are swirling is because she has been out promoting the Days of our Lives 45th anniversary book like crazy. Either, they have really buried the hatchet or their is some negotiating going on (please let that be the case)! Also, she has been promoting the book with the Executive Producer, Greg Meng, who she says is a great guy. "Days" has also been picked up for 2 more years, with the option of a third year, which means they've got a bigger budget. I know that they would not pay her the million dollar salary she was making when she left, but she had already offered to take a pay cut. I think that still stands, as she has said that she is more than financially secure.
Maybe this is just wishful thinking on my part, but come on...anyone who watches the show, realizes that Sami needs her mother. It's just a fact. Also, I would be lying if I said that I hope John comes back with Marlena from Switzerland (if they decide to bring her back). Although, how much of a twist would it be if Stefano had gotten John in Switzerland...oh the stories they could tell if they brought them back! Marlena is definitely needed...I think EJ would already be dead or in a coma by now if she was still in Salem. Come on TPTB bring her, preferably them, back!! Remember the good ole' days of John & Marlena! Click on the link below...

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Christmas time is upon us! Thank goodness for that! Christmas is my favorite time of year! The lights, the garland, the spirit of Christmas is just so wonderful and magical. I remember as a child, I just wanted presents. It was all about the presents. But, who at 5 wasn't concerned about the presents?? If you weren't, I think you must have had something wrong with you. lol. As you get older though, you begin to realize that Christmas isn't all about the presents. It's about family, love and most importantly the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a cherished holiday and very special to me. Every Christmas you must give thanks to God for giving you another year on this earth to be with your family. Any day could be our last, and it is important to remember that thought; "Live each day as if it were your last." "Seize the day." These quotes go a long way if you keep them in your subconscious.
Some Christmases are sadder than others. Example...our last Christmas with John. We knew it would be our last, but we enjoyed it to the fullest. Santa came to our house and passed out presents on Christmas Eve and when we woke up we had more! It was amazing! That last Christmas with John left so many good memories to me, since most of mine with him revolve around him being sick. I was only 7 when he passed away and 6 when he got diagnosed. My memories live in pictures and videos that we have. My memories of us as a family before he got sick are pretty much non-existent, which is something that I will never be able to change. Some days I am happy it is that way, only because if it had been at a different age (when I was older) I would remember so many bad things (radiation, chemo, etc...). Not that I don't remember it now, but they are all intertwined with good memories. Being in Minnesota for a bone marrow transplant, but remembering "Spooky World" for Halloween and going to the "Mall of America" for the log ride. Memories of a seven year old girl...but, I would love to have those 4 years worth of memories before he got sick. He was my best friend, and there are memories scattered in my mind of us, but not all four years. I didn't mean to get all sappy, but he is still a member of the family, even when people walk on eggshells around the topic. It's been 15 years...there will always be an empty place, but it heals over time, but never completely. I will include a picture of us later! :)
But, the magic of this season and of God is that he blessed me with a new little buddy. Jackson was a blessing to this family and to me in general. I love him so much and to tell you how he helped me would take much more than I am willing to write in this blog. I do not need to explain how much I love him, because for the people that know and see us it is pretty evident.
Christmas is such a magical time. It takes you to a place, if only for a day, that makes you feel joyful inside. Like I said before, it is absolutely my favorite time of the year. I understand that buying gifts can be stressful, but try and remember the reason for the season. Merry Christmas to all of you and I hope you have a blessed holiday!! :)

John and me on Christmas morning, 1995. Our last Christmas.
We went to Callaway Gardens during Christmas Break a couple of years ago. :)
