This week has gone slower than the week before and the week before and the week before and the week before. It’s just perspective, but even so, it’s as real and anything can get. A new year dawned 6 days ago. Christmas even longer ago. Getting to each event was fast. Now with this one […]
Happy New Year y’all! Christmas was nice, though we didn’t have a big tree, nor any decorated tree … with a baby again, and all the stuff that comes with one, with the way our main space is these past few years … there was just not the space for a Christmas tree, nor the […]
The initial “holiday season” is over … which is Thanksgiving, which brings in the “Christmas Season” practically, and in our home there is also something else, before or after Thanksgiving. It’s a birthday. This year it was the Sunday after, so “Christmas Season” for us feels like it doesn’t start until after that, and so […]
Goo … I feel miserable. My “normal” allergies have just been la, la, la all along this Spring, until about a week ago. They ramped up, but even moreso this week. So here I am, 36+3 (wks+days) pregnant and it’s hard enough to get the energy I need to do stuff … forget it now. […]
Yesterday we watched football Bowl games on TV. We also went into the backyard and threw around my new football as a family. I also brought out about 6 firecracker thingies to light up. I did 2 separately, then later hubby doubled the remainder and lit them up, that’s twisting two sets together –by the […]
Ah, Christmas is over … well, not over, but it’s the inevitable “let-down” already, not that it’s just now started … it’s been so for awhile. What is the “Christmas Let-down”? It is: After opening presents, spirits eventually fall to a lower level. It’s different depending on the year, who’s there, what was gotten under […]
May you all have a very Merry Christmas! I still have to put decorations on the tree, my husband got the lights on it yesterday late afternoon. A lot of the presents are wrapped, but not all as of yet. I’d like to make some more cookies this afternoon, and hope I can. I had […]
[NEW: Picture added to post December 23, 2006] Hubby brought me a Christmas present yesterday. He couldn’t hold it over … why? It’s a Betta (fish) and a really cool glass “bowl” that is blue and shaped like a big fish with a wide open mouth at the end, which is the “top” of the […]
Ah, weather. It’s not “cold” but it feels a tad chilly in the house, with the weather the way it is. Currently it’s overcast and usually raining –drippy or steady or pouring (since sometime in the middle of the night.) I’d love to have a fire in the fireplace, not a huge hot one, but […]
It’s Monday, December 18th. Just a week until Christmas Day. We finally got our Christmas tree on Saturday night. It’s in the house set up, but I haven’t the lights to put on it. They are “somewhere” and hubby isn’t here to fetch them out for me. I used to love decorating trees for Christmas […]
