   Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I stumbled across your blog a couple of weeks ago and rather like it, so I’m adding it to my blog roll. I might have to steal the Narnia quiz you took as well. 🙂 God bless!

   It’s just taking the messy cluttery cramped space and making it lovely and red and green and sparkly and comfy, when it wasn’t even comfy before … see there, too insane to do.

   I’ll say it again…it’s amazing how similar our lives/houses are…at least what you share. Crazy.

   Ah well. Crank the music louder, light some “smelly-good” candles and keep toasting your toes in front of the fire while burying your nose in a good book and sipping a glass of eggnog I say!! 😀

   There’s still a couple of weeks or so to figure it out… 😉

   Don’t you know that when I have music playing, if I crank it any louder than normal … whoa … 😉

   Good reminders all in one paragraph though. I just need a comfy chair and some eggnog to fill out the bill.

   I could go with a good old Jack Daniels Hot Toddy in replacement with the eggnog, of course.

   My rocking chair is an old lady, a Hitchcock Chair … very old, made when the company signed their chairs, circa 1823-1840. She’s my dear, not very valued in the antiques markets as I have read up … but she’s a size just nice for me (guess it’s the part of history proven that people were smaller in those days, my chair is nice for any shorter/smaller adult), I tend to fall asleep in her arms though, can’t stay awake to read! 🙂

   We are in drought for comfy furniture, and one of these days we’ll get a couch again, but that will go where there is no fireplace. I’m hoping to get an upholstered chair/chair-&-a-half to go near the fireplace eventually.

   Now as for eggnog, I’ve a craving for that stuff from the grocery store in cartons, the stuff so very un-doable from scratch (well, to me at the least). I just love the consistency and the flavors … it’s like any modern invention in food, some flavors just are good, as un-natural as they may be. I’m very ashamed of myself. 😉

   There’s still a couple of weeks or so to figure it out… 😉

   For this, I am glad!

   I am also glad for Isaiah 53:1, “… and by his stripes we are healed.” 🙂

   Lindsay, welcome! And there is no need to steal that Narnia Quiz, it’s free to anyone, it’s just an internet quiz, and not original with me either! 🙂

   Really, I do not like using the word “steal” since Biblically it’s a “sin” to steal, and what stealing is is not what people are usually doing when they say they are … a pet peeve of mine. I had to help my DH see the facts of it and cure his use of the phrase … 🙂

   Ah, you have a good point there. Far too often, I think we use words and terms such as that without thinking about their true meaning. So many things are used such as that in ways they shouldn’t be, and it’s so common in our society. The English language really suffers now among many people.

   We certainly don’t want you hurting the children’s hearing or have the neighbors call the cops or anything now would we?! 😉

   Sounds like a nifty chair to me! Just my style. 😀

   Ha! We got rid of our couches some time ago too. Our only living room sitting furniture are two wooden rockers…not very comfy for curling up on…but they do just fine for a bit of reading before bed in front of the fire. At least, I don’t fall asleep. 😉

   Now as for eggnog, I’ve a craving for that stuff from the grocery store in cartons, the stuff so very un-doable from scratch (well, to me at the least). I just love the consistency and the flavors … it’s like any modern invention in food, some flavors just are good, as un-natural as they may be. I’m very ashamed of myself. 😉

   That is sooo funny! Me too! We go to an annual caroling party at a relative’s and everyone just “mmm’s and aaah’s” over the homemade eggnog and I’m sitting there craving the store bought stuff! LOL I do analyze it on the tongue every glass I take wondering just what the ratios are and if I could recreate it…then I just don’t bother because I’d probably disappoint myself! 😉 Should we start a “support group?” 😀 LOL

   Hope you’re having a good Monday!

   Cheers ~ Tamara
