Chillin'

Yes, that is what I have been doing. Not much of anything. Caught up on some Hallmark Christmas Movies and reading a book of short Christmas stories that I found in the dollar store. Hope everyone is also enjoying the last few days of the holiday season. Have a wonderful weekend my friends.

Nice Too Be Back

After 90 plus hours with out lights, water, heat our power was restored late in the day on Friday. Many of our friends and family in New Jersey are still struggling without power to this day. Les and I work on Friday and Saturday at auctions, so yesterday it was our day off. We just loafed all day, enjoying the comfort of our home. Being the pioneer couple kicked our butts last week. Les kept the woodstove going so that the house stayed warm and we could heat the food up that I had made last weekend. But believe me that got old real fast. We lost all of our food in both our refrig and freezer, so today I was at the grocery store re-stocking. I know that losing our food is nothing compared to one losing their home and or their loved ones. I am not going to go on and on about being taking showers and being warm. We are just thankful that we are. I tryed reading everyone's blogs but on the cell phone is tough, so I gave it up. By the third day of being off the computer I realized that I was not missing it all that much. So, I think I am going to change how much time I spend on the computer and start reading more, which is what I did last week and really did enjoy it. Have a wonderful Monday evening. Please keep all of the people who are still struggling in New Jersey in your prayers.

Big Night in The Skys and Last Minute Things

Well, it's a good thing Old St.Nick isn't riding thru the skys in the next 24 hours or so. We have a Full Lunar Eclipse, a Full Cold Moon and the Winter Solstice all coming up. All we need is a big ole snowstorm (only kidding ladies), I would panic too if that happened. Still need to go to the grocery store this week. Gift shopping is all done, but then I only have Les to buy for, oh yeah and the cats and ducks. Cats will get a toy from the grocery store and the ducks will get some extra spinach, LOL. We don't decorate that much since we got our two cats. They are terrors and for the first time in years we put up a small tree, so far it's still standing and I believe that it will. They are not one bit interested in it, that is until I go to put a decoration on it, then they check it out, but checking is all they have done. Still need to do baking, but there again not alot. It will be just Les & I and we like things simple. My biggest love is sitting in my chair all covered up and watch old movies or reading a book on Christmas Day, dinner will be some type of pasta, nice and easy. I bought my book weeks ago, so I will be set. Work is picking up (this is a very good thing) and keeping me busy. I need to go and write out my shopping list, I know that I will be there a long time and I don't want to forget anything if I can help it. Have a good evening and keep plugging away on your last minute things.
