New Year's day

Today was a late and slow wake up for the hubby and I. Several cups were required for me to get going. We went through all of our Christmas decorations and thinned the herd a bit.

This evening we had a wonderful dinner with A and E. It was ham, sweet potato fries and green beans. Now back to the house to finish up the Christmas stuff and maybe watch a little Doctor Who.

Nothing on the needles yet, maybe later tonight or tomorrow. I have a few errands to run tomorrow. Hubby goes back to work tomorrow and I head back to the office on Thursday. It has been really nice to have almost the whole break with him.

Happy 2013!

Good holiday season! Snow on Christmas eve and New Years eve. A glass of champagne with my honey to ring in the new year!

White Christmas

I always wish for a white Christmas and I am grateful when that happens. Christmas eve it snowed about 8 inches. So I got my wish.

Let the party begin!

Already for the Christmas season to begin. After working on the house today which included fixing the garland lights for the front door. We are now at Winger's for dinner before the big On Track and Groove Dr's acoustic night. The band from Risen Life Church will be performing along with singers for Sing Vocal Studios. I am so excited. Ley the fun begin!

10 Things For Which You Are Thankful

This is very fitting for this week as it is Thanksgiving here in the U.S. on Thursday.

1. I don't talk about it much on my blog much as I think action speak louder than words but I have truly thankful for my Lord and Savior.
2. My family - this is more than those that are related to me by name, it also includes those friends that are so much more that they have become family.  
3. My job - I have been so blessed for the last four years to work for On Track Music.  My boss spoils me. While I don't make what I did when I was in the corporate world, you can't touch my lifestyle. I have a life, I am not on call 24/7. I come in contact with great people each day. The people that work in the surrounding business have become great friends.
4. Gluten free food - so many options and so many resturants and bakeries are now on board, such a great change in the seven years I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease.
5. Snow - more importantly the change of seasons. Even though I am not a huge fan of HOT weather, I do enjoy the four seasons and feel blessed to live in a place that enjoys all of them.
6. My country - politics as side - there is not another country I would chose to live in.
7. My health - although it has its ups and downs I am grateful that I am as healthy as I am.
8. My hubby - he is so precious to me. He is encouraging and patience with me, especially when dealing with health issues.  He supports all of my hobbies, especially the knitting. Actually he is an yarn stash enabler.  
9. Coffee - Those who see my facebook status know that I can't go more than a day without a cup of this miracle!  Coffee shared with friends and family is the best!  Some of my best memories is having coffee with my grandmother at her kitchen table.
10. My Cats - they are fuzzy cuteness that makes me smile each day!  China and Fergie are adorable and I love them dearly.

I am so grateful/thankful for many more things but these were just the 10 I thought of today.  

10 things on my mind right now

I decided I would like to try to join in on Carole Knits' Ten on Tuesday.  So today's topic is 10 Things On My Mind Right Now.  Let's see what is on my mind....it might be crazy.

1. The election. While the national stuff is important. There is a few local issues that mean more to me, I am waiting to see how those go.
2. I really love coffee, I think I need to brew some more.
3. Snow is forecast for the end of the week and I want to finish Mr80grit's new knit hat so he has it for the day.  
4. I am hoping for a very snowy winter so I can enjoy all my knitted stuff
5. Christmas giving.  I have decided not to knit gifts for my family this year as I am a little burned out as I have done so much for so long
6. Doctor Who - it is all I seem to watch on Netflix these days
7. Chocolate is always on my mind
8. Not looking forward to dental work in December, I hoping my tooth stays in until that day
9. Return books to the library
10. what to eat for dinner.
