Life seemed to take a bit of a vacation right before Christmas Day. My three day work weeks were decadent and wonderful and I enjoyed every bit of them. But now we are back to real life. I’m not complaining (well, not a lot, anyway), but it isn’t easing its way back…I got one day […]
I ate cake for breakfast…
but first I had to drink my smoothie…banana, strawberry, spirulina, apricot nectar and a little vanilla ice cream…yum! Better was the slice (small but satisfying) of chocolate cake my husband baked yesterday…ohmygosh…actually, it was a joint effort but he instigated it! What a way to start my day today….
The gift of time…
I have said it before and I will say it again…I LOVE long weekends! And the best long weekend of all is the end of the year series of long weekends…this year, with Christmas and New Year’s Day falling on Thursday and with my wonderful boss giving me the day after each, I had back […]
It is a gorgeous first day of 2009…
We got 8 or so inches of snow last night; once the wind picked up, it whipped it all around…today we have bare patches and piles a foot deep! And that wind is blowing some incredibly chilly air around…too cold for us to shovel the frozen snow from the front steps and walkway. So, here […]
No, I mean it…
I really do hope that we all have a happy and healthy and prosperous new year 2009. I am thankful that I have a job in this economy. I am thankful that my husband and kids are gainfully and happily employed, each in their fields. I am thankful for the family reunion we had this […]
Dribs and drabs…
I have opened my blog every day since Christmas and haven’t actually written a thing. I have nothing interesting to share. We had a quiet Christmas day…we didn’t eat breakfast until almost noon and opened presents after that. The in-laws LOVED the digital picture frame we got them, with an SD card full of old […]
Happy Christmas Eve, all…
It is a quiet holiday this year. How it changes when the kids are grown and gone. We are sharing this holiday with my in-laws, so the week is more about good food and conversation than gifts and noise and excitement. We are so thankful for good health and a comfortable home and jobs…thankful that […]
And the snow just keeps coming…
Be forewarned, photos of kitties…
It should be a white Christmas…
What a beautiful storm it was! It started as tiny little flakes outside my work window at about 1pm. I left then and it picked up as I drove home. By the time I got home and settled in front of the scanner (yes, I am still scanning madly), it was falling steadily. By the […]
