2010 Musings

What is it about a new year that makes me want to take a bulldozer to my house?

And while we're at it... where in the heck did all that dust and dog hair come from?

I spent a total of 8 hours yesterday putting stuff where it belongs. From this shelf to that, this cabinet to that one and what was originally supposed to be in that drawer? Are they ALL junk drawers? I was feeling like Ernie of Bert and Ernie fame. Remember when he used a.... something... for a flower pot and it led Bert to go insane cause he couldn't find his slippers? This would be a lot funnier if I still had a brain.

It's like that song...the little old lady who swallowed a fly. No, not that one. The hole in the bucket song. Only in my case it's a house in the bucket. With a big hole in it. With mice. Don't I have a cat?

Anyways, I digress. As if I ever had a topic.

I can tell my seasonal lost my mind is going to be early this year. Get thee to a greenhouse! Quickly! I am incoherent! And it's only January 6th! We's in big trouble round here....

Let's switch gears. Here's some Christmas wrap up (ha ha get it? WRAP up???)

Our lovely Christmas tree. Came downstairs to find that Rhia and my niece Amanda had made old fashioned construction paper chains and looped them around the tree. Was very touched. Until I looked closer..... Each chain has Twilight propaganda written on it. Yep, Team Edward... Team Jacob. sigh.

Rhia made brownies. And iced them. They were delicious.

The icing she made with granulated sugar instead of confectioner's?

Not so much.

Advent.... Jesus and Mary candles lit. It's a Wonderful Life!

Here's my beautiful daughter Christmas Eve.

With the creepy ornament of herself looking over her shoulder.

And the Edward/Jacob homage.

Happy New Year Everyone!
