Happy New Year!

I know, I know I'm a day late.....but better late then never, right? As in years in the past I am not making any resolutions, but this time of the year always gets me looking back through my 'adventures'. 

With today being the last day my hubby is 63 years old, it gets me thinking about our life together. I have 26 years of 'adventures' with him going through my mind while I sit here watching 'Purgatory' for the umpteenth time.

The first time I ever saw him at Groton Residential Nursing Home, our first date, our 'remodeling' project in the Groton house, our move to Arizona and most recently to Tennessee. The jobs we did together, the vacations and people we've met. The joys and challenges.

We have had one heck of a life together so far and I am looking forward to a few more 'adventures' to add to the ones I have already. 

So, Carl whats next in our 'adventure'?

Love you!

Happy New Year!

The first day of the new year and so far I haven't gotten in any trouble, LOL!

 

For those that have visited my blog before you should notice a new 'widget' to the left. It is 'NaBloPoMo'. I joined their challenge for the month of January and it is suppose to be on 'where do you get your energy' or anything else you may want to post. It's a good one for me because I usually don't have much 'energy' after work to do what I want or need to do. In my house the housework is the last thing on the list. I really have to be in the 'mood' to get that stuff done. The only housework I really do on a regular basis is my wash and there are times when even that doesn't get done like it should. 

When I am in the mood to get the house spic and span then you had better stay out of my way. I tend to get just a little bit grumpy having to walk around somebody to get where I am going. You can just ask my husband about that..... I also find that I get more things done when I have less time. You know the days that you have to go in a million different directions, but need to get a couple things accomplished in the house.... I also generally have extra energy when 1) there is company coming, 2) there is company coming~~~~ I may not scrub the floors to a high shine, but I will get them vacuumed, clean sheets on the spare bed and the bathroom cleaned. If I plan on getting more done and run out of time I don't get upset. My life is not about how clean my house has been my whole life...
 

My energy today was pretty good. I accomplished going to a family New Years party, visited a sick grandson and family, partially rearranged a bedroom, cut out 2 caftans, had company and worked on my blog. No the dishes didn't get done. They will be there for me tomorrow unless a gremlin comes to visit...
 

Until next time,

Day after Christmas!

 

Good evening one and all!

 

So now that the biggest day of the year is over for 2012, what do have you have planned for the biggest day of 2013? I always have big plans that fall by the wayside in about February, LOL! I do know that I have several unfinished projects (UFO's for those that are quiltaholics) that I would love to get done. I don't have to buy any supplies to finish a couple of them either! Right now I have a current lap quilt on the frame and I was going to get it done today, but decided that I really would rather take a nap. I just hope that I will be able to sleep tonight ;)....

 

Here I sit typing on my light weight laptop watching 'Remington

Steele' and they are working on a monster of a desk top computer.... how life has changed in just a few years.....

Happy New Year Everybody!

I hope everyone had a quiet New Year's Eve! I know that this year mine was great!

Carl and I went second hand shopping and got some great deals! We even managed to stay up until the late hour of 10 pm, which is a hour or so longer than we usually last! the neighborhood was very quiet last night and that was nice. We have one person 2 doors down that like to play their music loud enough for us to hear with our windows and doors closed.

For those of you that don't know, Carl's birthday is in 2 days..... Yeah, I know he has probably told each and every one of you many, many times over the years LOL! We both took the day off so that we could do something fun. I'll drop pictures here after the fact....

It is very nice out here today. The sun is shining and there isn't any breeze to speak of. Just a beautiful winter day in Arizona. I just wish the yard didn't like this weather so much....

We finally made a trip to the Temple site yesterday. Go on over to 'My Spiritual Side' and check it out. What progress!

Until later
