Look Who's Back!

Yes - yes, it's me.  Haven't been here since earlier this year.  Well I'm back and ready not only for the changing of the season, but the upcoming holidays.  But it's nearly 11:00 and way past my bedtime.  I'll come back tomorrow to share what my plans and goals will be as I plan for what I hope to be another joyful Christmas with my family and friends.

Good Night!

What is Cloud Picker

I have been trying to upload my holiday pictures but I keep getting this message that I need to sign in to Google Cloud Picker.  Does anyone knows what this is and why it's not working.  I hate change without forwarning.  (Mad As Heck!!!!!!)

Light Construction

You're probably wondering what's going on with my blog. I'm tinkering around with the colors in an attempt to make it look festive. Many of my fellow MHHers have the most beautiful blogs. I'll keep at it until it's perfect.

6 Days To Christmas!

I can't believe that in 6 days Christmas will be here. Hope everyone has been able to take a moment to ingest some Christmas spirit in-between normal life. All week I have been going over lists. I'm getting things ready for when I see my family on Christmas Eve. I've managed to keep the apartment neat and clean. I even set up the guest bedroom for the kids. I set out board games, books for them to read, and coloring books and crayons which should keep them occupied all evening. All of my gifts are bought, wrapped and under the tree. The house is all aglow. This weekend I plan to take it easy. I'm not going to do much as I will need all my energy come Monday when I begin cooking.

Right now it's pouring down rain and I'm sitting here at my desk - eating a nasty hotdog - counting down the hours. I will be off until January 5th (doing happy dance). So you won't hear from me again til the new year.


I hope everyone has a wonderful Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! And to all my friends at MHH and CEO I especially want to wish you all the best. It has been another great year of sharing thoughts and ideas about Christmas and everyday life. My holidays have been the best they've ever been since meeting you and for that I am truly thankful (smiles, smiles, smiles; hugs, hugs, hugs). God Bless.

93 Days Of Fun

Today I'm kind of bummed out because I'm at work, bored and really don't know what to do. I spent the morning visiting with my friends over at MHH to see how they all are doing. Now I'm here -- blogging. It's a gorgeous day, though it was a little foggy very early this morning. What I'm really itching to do is work on my crafts. I had planned to start this weekend but I was out all weekend enjoying time with friends, family and the beautiful weather.

96 - 94 Days of Fun

Day 96: Nothing to report.

Day 95: Spent an evening with a few friends -- a girl's night out. There was plenty of food and drinks. To top things off, the weather was beautiful the entire day. We played games and just laughed and acted goofy -- a lot.

Day 94: When I awoke in the early morning I made myself a cup of hot chocolate and sat out on my balcony to watch the sun finish rising. It was very quiet and peaceful. I watched the squirrels run around and notice how perky my potted mums looked. More and more flowers are opening everyday. After sitting out there for a bit I started thinking of other things I'd like to do - taking time out for myself. So I wrote down a few things and then penciled them on my calendar. Then I went inside and spent a couple of hours cleaning my master bedroom. Later I took my nieces and nephews to the farm to pick apples. It was Johnny Appleseed Day. The kids had a blast - and so did I.
