Somethings, are just Great!

Our Christmas was perfect, the people in my life know me pretty good...

A little something to unwind with And the name is perfect too...

 Something to make me smile...
I guess I'm the only person who never knew about these ...bird window magnets half on inside half on outside....so it looks like a bird that can travel through glass...I just love this!

( It rained for 3 days prior to Christmas...)

Something to comfort me,
many nice greetings and an entire yard of chocolate candy ...

Something to remind me of the importance of friends..
and  bigger is better when coffee is involved....

Something to keep balance...
some things are better in small packages  nesting owl measuring cups---

these are precious!

...so many thoughtful gifts I received...

 it was such fun in the end...I DID NOT stress out about it...

 now the family is safe back in their own homes, the table is cleared, the gift wrap is secured, the left overs await,  and the SUN came out--awwww finally

It's time to rest up and regenerate...

How can anyone get the holiday blues when this is your closest neighbor

Appreciate the daily gifts we take for granted sometimes...

...and something to look forward to

                                  A Breaking Bad marathon on TV starts tomorrow...
                                                                  Im excited since.... 

I CAME DOWN WITH A COLD on Christmas Eve I lost my voice so I did a lot of listening, and not much talking---and I feel like being a couch potato for a day or two now....
this is the most I've said in 4 days!! TG for the Sun returning it may help!

Last post of 2014!

Warn N Fuzzy Feeling!

Although its fun to put up a few decorations its good to see it go back in storage too...less clutter.  I think that's why organizational needs surface right after the holidays! Mom and I straightened up the linen closet in the bathroom, it was an unorganized mess...and we rolled up all the pennies that were tumbling around in my pocketbook, making it way too heavy for me to deal with.

...next we will tackle the Junk drawer....its a treasure trove of "things" cant do without it, but I was thinking one of those silverware organizers may help us keep it in better shape?  So I'll look for one next time I go to the Dollar tree...I will get one about this long....

My Mom fell in the kitchen last week...she banged up a knee pretty good and her COPD has been acting up quite a bit so lots of coughing, oxygen, and pills, and just lots of stuff...so I've been reading her the riot act lately I think she is about ready to knock me out!! See she fell cause she was walking around the house without using a cane or walker!! NOW she is having major trouble walking so we made a deal...she is to use the walker UNTIL the knee is well enough to go back to using a cane...I walked into the kitchen the walker is standing there she is not there then I hear her on the back porch...its 2 steps down  and out to the porch WTH?

So I got angry...she said I'm not giving her any credit...

She just doesn't get it....I don't want to spend 6 weeks sitting by her bed while a broken leg heals...I just got 2 casts off my arms she is my arms for now....

I told her she is selfish she was NOT happy bout that..she gave me the stink eye for a couple days!!

BUT then she didn't complain when I watched the Breaking Bad marathon that was on amc channel....and I taped the last 6 episodes so we could see the ending....I asked in my best "pleaseeee, can we, pleaseeee"... voice and used my best puppy dog pleading eye trick!

She was a real good sport and said "oh stop whinning you can watch it, geeze..." and she even got into it and I think she enjoyed some of it!!!

My friend and I had a good New Year's "brunch" and that was very cool...we chattered away and ate like a couple of ...

So I'm still recovering....Mom is improving and doing very well today, the weather is COLD and the New Year is off and hopping!

Hope your New year is as cuddly as ours has been!!
