I am going to start today’s post with a positive and upbeat “HAPPY FRIDAY” to everyone, celebrating the brief work week and anticipating the last weekend in December. And now I am going to slide directly into a rant. If you are easily offended, hit escape now. If you can’t stand the thought of logical …
We had a wonderful Christmas with my son and his family, this past weekend, with each other Christmas morning, my parents Christmas evening, and will have another wonderful celebration with my daughter’s family this weekend. Yesterday I just sat back and vegged out. Other than some laundry and menu planning, I didn’t do much of …
It’s Visit the Zoo Day! This Would Be More Fun In Warmer Weather! Read More »
There are days that are pretty awesome that come along once in a while. Today was one of those days. Yesterday, since Hubby was home from work due to the power outage from the storm, we got most of the house chores done in anticipation of Miss B and Big Brother E coming today. We …
I’m back after a few days of just sitting back and taking care of a few things here and regrouping mentally. It has been a very strange week and I didn’t feel like I could even go through the motions of trying to celebrate much of anything. The Christmas spirit was lagging due to outside …
I should not have patted myself on the back so soon regarding being ready for Christmas early. It turns out, I wasn’t! I was giving my aching hands a break from wrapping presents and took a picture of this awesome Santa ornament that Hubby bought for me not long ago. Isn’t he fun? Just figured …
It’s late afternoon on Saturday, and other than making brunch, I have done absolutely nothing productive. We did watch one Christmas movie, which apparently came out in 2013 but I hadn’t ever heard about before. It was cute! Poorly acted, but cute. Most of them don’t have the best actors, but I’ll take sweet …

The countdown to Christmas continues, and though I am nearly done with most of our shopping, hubby did most of the wrapping and the house has been decorated for weeks, there seems to be a plethora of details that keep coming up that are keeping things busy. I should have been on my feet doing …

As I write this on Wednesday night, I feel myself tensing up as I hear the wind gusting outside. Apparently, we are in for a few days of nasty weather, not nice “nasty” weather like snow, but icky nasty weather like wind. I’d really prefer snow. Since I’m not going to get that though, Let’s …
Christmas and Candy Canes – It’s More Than Just a Fun Candy Read More »
There are just some evenings I can’t, or just don’t, get the post started for the next day. My reasoning is sound for Monday night . . . I was on a date with my hubby! How awesome is that? A Monday night date is pretty darn fun and very unusual when it isn’t combined …
Good Morning and Happy Monday! It’s only two weeks until the weekend before Christmas which blows my mind. I thought I was really ahead of the game and ready, that I’d be able to spend the last couple of weeks just hanging out, baking cookies and watching Christmas movies. Um, not so much. We’re close …
