Life as I know it


Well how was your Christmas?
All that work and its over in the blink of a eye.
Now we just wait for new years>
Do you make New Years resolutions?
Do you keep them?
One year I quit smoking best thing I ever did
never went back to it.
But usually I dont make them, because I dont keep them.
This year we are going out for a quiet dinner
on New Years Eve, and then home to watch
a movie, usually we dont even make it up till
New Years.

Shopping therapy

Ear therapy is completed after 8 sessions
He's done the best he could do
and his best is pretty good, not to much dizziness left
Go to see the ear, nose, throat Dr.  on Jan 10 so
all is well is Leeland.
Finished the commission for the cityscape, and it
turned out fabulous lol at least I think so
Today I did some shopping therapy  
I went to Michael's, bought a few things I wanted,
had lunch out, and wandered around in  Marshall's
The weather is fabulous here, you still need
your ski coat, but when its above zero you take
what you can get.

The eye key to your soul


Did you know that there is ear physio?
There is, and I have been 5 times,
I have an inner ear infection since
May and cant seem to shake it,
I have had my hearing tested, just
in case I have lost hearing because
of it, but I havent, even though
my husband swears I have, because
I just tune him out lol
The physio consits of being thrown
around by your therapist, every
girls dream.  While wearing a
camera on your eye, apparently
the eye can tell everything about
the ear, who knew.

The Farm


Do you have a real tree or a fake tree
When growing up, we first used to get real
tree , we never would go out and get our own,
we always went to a place that sold trees.
Our first fake tree, was a pink one,
my mother liked it, we had it till it fell apart,
then moved on to a sliver tree.  Now that I have
my own family, we have never had a real tree,
always a fake green one, I think after growing up
with colored trees, green is the best.

Tales from the cheap seats

well I decided to draw some flowers last night well 
watching TV.  When I am watching TV and doing art
I use just cheapo markers, but the color that comes out of
those markers are beautiful dont you think.  I keep telling everybody you dont need to spend alot of money to make great art.

Oh the tales of the fruitcake......


Its to cold to go out today big wind chill
I was going to make a fruitcake,
but instead sent the hubster to buy one
My mother always made her fruitcakes early
in the month, then wrapped them up and stored
them in the fridge until it was time to
eat them.  I love fruitcake, but really
its cheaper and less stress just to
buy them.

Christmas Traditions



Do you have a christmas tradition that has been passed down that you still practice.  At christmas with my parents , only one person passed out the presents, and the next present was not passed out , until all the people had opened their present, and properly ohed and ahed over.  We still practice that tradition in my house.

Christmas Countdown




well its the first day of December, do you feel ready for all the
hoopla that is coming this month.  I am getting there, I dont want
to feel rushed this month, I want to slow down and enjoy Christmas, and the
holiday season.  I have got the parcel to my sister who lives out of
town sent out before the rush.  I have most of the Christmas shopping done.
I dont have the tree up yet but am in no hurry to do it.  Since I got
a new tree a couple of years ago its like heaven to put up.  Already had the
lights on it, which as we all know is most of the job.  The decorating part
is the fun part.  I really used to go all out and decorate a lot, but
I have really paired down on my Christmas stuff.  I decided no
baking will be done by me this year, as I am on weight watchers,
I can even freeze the cookies, but somehow they magically
disappear out of the freezer, to be eaten frozen.  I keep
telling my husband, that someone else in the house must be eating them lol.
Both the hubster an I have decided that we wont buy anything for
each other this year.  First off we dont need anything, when we
want we buy it, we are both retired and dont need much.  I never thought
I would hear my self say that but its true.  We buy for the daughter and
her husband, and my mother inlaw, we have a small family.  Okay
I have found a couple of great videos I thought you might like 
enjoy
