Late Pic on New Year's Eve 2014

Waiting for the countdown to 2015--almost here!

Small but mighty helpers

Tonight I'm thankful for my little heating pad that makes my back muscles feel better.  Also giving props to Aleve: you make my heart race in the bad way, but you're super good at getting rid of backaches.

It's the eve of New Year's Eve.  (I swear I started to type "Christmas Eve.")  I can't WAIT to sleep in on January 1, 2015.  Incredibly, it really is almost here.

Post-Christmas pix

Well, haven't been doing so great on the #NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), but I'll repeat that this month has the most posts during all of 2014. Simply have to do better in 2015 if I want more readers.

Some cute Christmas pix that I haven't put out there yet.

Presssssssssssents!

when you're trying to take a no-flash pic

Two more days until 2015.  This past year went by so fast, I'm kinda feeling like I just wanna keep the Christmas tree alive until then.  #WowJustWow

Blog title font

Bitching about something very silly.  Why is the font on my blog title smaller than I have it set? The line underneath it is bigger than the title. I have increased several times, but it reverts back to the smaller (wrong) size when I apply and log back in.

Is it too late for a tiny shot of whiskey? Will Santa come if I'm passed out? lmao

Four (more) days skipped

I had high hopes that I'd be up to the challenge of blogging every single day for one little month.  I've missed a total of 5 days now.  But......I still have more posts this month than any other in 2014. 

It's super lame, but I'll take that.  ;-D

Random photo - I think I got this image from Pinterest.


Tomorrow is Christmas Eve!

So we skipped a blog day....

I love the royal "we" - lol!

Not backdating for the missed Thursday post.  Oh gee.

Instead, I'll just post a Christmas party pic. Taken in front of one of the four Christmas trees in the various ballrooms we had.  I don't know what kind of desserts I ate--tasted chocolately and coffee-ish.  Don't normally care for coffee flavor, but it was sinfully good.  And I totally wanted to steal one of the adorable little dishes they had!  HA!  (Insider joke to my mom who gets whatever she damn wants with her big ass purse.)

I don't know the people at the new place too well, but everybody made me feel very welcome. I must say, November is the time of year to start a job. This is the biggest bunch of party animals I've worked with ever.  Eating and drinking for every little occasion.  Mmhmmmm.  Good place to be!

 

Party on!  Dec. 19, 2014

 

I will not say I'm going to bed early anymore.

I won't say it anymore because I don't do it.

If I were in Miss Nash's 4th grade class, the sentence would have to say, "I will not talk in class."  And I'd have to write it 500 times so I would stop doing it.  I did stop (finally), and I'm stopping now.

Henceforth, all future announcements will let everyone know when I've decided to stay up late instead of empty proclamations that I'm going to bed early.

;)



#NaBloPoMo #DaySeventeen

Tuesday - Not Fat But Still Good

The only Tuesday I tolerate is Fat Tuesday, but today was an exception. Good traffic lights, good Christmas music, and peace & quiet at work meant serious productivity. A few challenging parenting moments, and a load of laundry. All ornaments finally on the tree :)

3 weeks, 3 days

I can hardly believe I'm about to type that it's been 3 weeks and 3 days since I worked on my story. I don't think I've ever been on hiatus this long in the writing dept.

October, November, and December are busy months in our family!  Keeping a semblance of a normal routine is tough.  Kids can hardly wait till school is out....this Friday.

Not sure why, but I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something, and I can't remember if it's a phone call, event, volunteering (?), or an appointment.

Probably all the stress of blogging every day this month. *haha*

December 14 shall be backdated

Sunday, Dec. 14, 2014 shall be backdated with a random photo from a few years back.  Caroline drew this beautiful Christmas tree in front of a cozy fireplace.
