This picture is of a little snowman I made for my Aunt Pam. Behind it is beautiful flowers I received from friends in Indiana! :)
Jeff and I hosted our family Christmas holiday this year and it was very nice to spend it with the people that matter. Although it was an emotional Christmas it was very nice and I was happy to host it. Although it seems like so much preparation and work, it is worth it if you spend it with people you love. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas!
We went to Seattle for an early dinner and spent the rest of New Years Eve night reassuring our little Scouty that everything would be okay. He gets so worked up about the fireworks that the YAH-hoo's in the neighborhood save from the 4th of July. I see no need nor does it seem like any fun to blow off stuff that makes loud obnoxious noises. Maybe I am getting old, but when I think about it, I don't ever remember liking the "booming" noises when I was young.
Today (New years day) has been a fairly lazy day but I pushed myself today and took down all the Christmas decorations. I am off work tomorrow and didn't want to deal with it then. It is never any fun to take the decorations down. It is fun to put them up in anticipation of the holiday season, but there is no gratification in taking them down. BUT,, it's done!
I think I will spend the rest of the night cleaning a little, and maybe reading a book or spending a little time in my studio. We are having around 50-60 mph winds right now so it is a good night to curl up in a blanket and stay inside! I recently finished the book A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
And now I am working on reading the second or sequel to that book called My Friend Leonard.
Both very good books and easy reading!!!
My Internet is still down, called Verizon AGAIN on Friday, and in the middle of an hour conversation GAVE UP,, I don't have time to deal with them anymore. Comcast will come out tomorrow morning to hook us up with cable. It has been way too long. I am at my mother in-law's now borrowing her wireless connection so I could write a post to my blog and give myself a little Internet fix.
Happy New Year to everyone who reads my little contribution to the WWW! I am hoping that 2006 is better than 2005, but that is all up to ME! 2006 I plan to focus on things that are important to ME!
Toodles for now, hopefully I will be posting from the comfort of my own home tomorrow! I will cross my fingers!
