Technical difficulties

a/k/a the reason I can't figure out why my blog won't upload any pictures.  Did you notice the photo is missing from the top, and also the name of the blog has mysteriously disappeared? 

I keep getting some lame ass error message--in red, no less--that says, we're sorry, but you have blabbity blabbity blah and includes a link that gives me absolutely no solution to fix what they're so sorry about.

Vexed doesn't even begin to cover it. 

I have so many photos that I haven't posted.  They're too old, and now they're irrelevant.  For example, I got a beautiful cell phone photo of the historical Christmas star in downtown Orlando.  Maybe I can hang onto it until this Christmas?  Plan ahead!  lol

When I get to the bottom of this technical c-r-a-p, regular posting shall commence.  And it WILL include photos or I will have to go postal.

Whoever is viewing my blog from Cape Coral, Florida, please tell me who you are!  I'm freaking out from curiosity ;-D

Dear Christmas Carter Balls

Dear Christmas Carter Balls,

I miss you.  I am terribly sorry that I have not made a batch of you for several years in a row now.  Please know that each holiday season you are constantly in my thoughts, and also in the thoughts of friends and family members who are reprimanding me for not making you--again.

Self annointed Queen of the B Plus

I shall no longer be known as Fran, I prefer to be addressed as "Her Majesty the Queen of the B Plus."

You may curtsey if you like.  LMFAO!!!

Charlie Brown Tree

It was time for this year's Christmas tree.  I was feeling a little anxiety (guilt??) about not being able to get a big tree like we're used to having, and was hoping the kids would not be disappointed or sad.  So we went together and got a small tree, and I called it our Charlie Brown tree, and the kids LOVED it when I said that :)

It turned out to be a beautiful tree.......just like always.......and Santa is planning on leaving some presents underneath it for my two good chickadees.....just like always.

After

Only 13 shopping days left!

Full house

Is it just me, or does everybody's house seem smaller now that the littles are turning into bigs??

I specifically remember not granting permission for all the growing.  Apparently my sage advice is not being listened to.  I'm used to that by now ;-D

Yellow!

First two blooms from the new yellow rosebush at Harding.  When I came in the office this morning, I could smell them when I sat down at my desk.  Wow!  Velvety petals, too.  And wouldn't you agree they look gorgeous in my fancy red Corelle mug?

Have a beautiful, rosy Thursday--

Cleaning day is tomorrow

Have let the new digs go somewhat due to mi vida loca.  As of now, the final exam is done, I'm checking the weather for tomorrow, and hitting the hay.

Tomorrow, I clean.  Then I'll get out some festive decor afterwards, which is my reward for finishing the cleaning.

No before pix of the dirty house.  After decor gets put out, I might take some after pix.  Maybe not.

snooooooooooooooooooooooooooooze
