FINALLY!

I don't know how time got away from me this year but it sure did. For the few people that still read this pathetic thing called my blog here are some photos with captions. Since that's all I have time for. LOL

102 Posts...

wow, I just realized that 2nd last post was my 100th post on this blog. That's a lot, not as many as some people (Miss Julie), but still a lot.

I feel a lot better at having updated my blog, but even with the best of intentions I just don't seem to have the energy to finish my posts lately. Sorry for those of you who actually check my blog regularly.

My leg seems to be getting better. I took the steri strips off today and it's a nice scar, but what's 'nother one on MY legs. LOL

Here is a photo I took of Grace enjoying an Oreo cookie. She picked them out especially at Target for herself since I don't care for them.
We hit the Farmers' Market on Saturday morning and picked up some fresh carrots, corn, kohlrabi (if you've never had them check it out, love them!), and Gracie even turned down ice cream in favor of a chocolate milk from Starbucks. I spent the rest of the weekend limping around, doing a bit of chores, watering our flowers, trying to get some class samples completed for work and keeping out of the heat. Also did a bit of Olympic Games watching. Man, I miss my volleyball.

I think I must miss my hubby too, since I haven't even felt like digging into the treat I bought for myself. I got some yummy Mango Ice cream (low-fat of course!). But I just realized it's still sitting untouched in the freezer. Weird...

Second Day of the Christmas Countdown...

and I found the Advent Calendar that my mother (AKA Oma) gave to Gracie. She was enthralled by the picture on the front and imagine her delight when she found out that it contained chocolates. Yep, she wanted to dig in right away, however I told her she had to share with Dad. So when Martin woke up from his Football induced nap she grabbed him and they opened door number one.

I was actually supposed to work today, but it's been snowing/hailing/raining on and off all morning and I called this morning to see if they could get by without me as I did not want to drive/slide my Honda into a ditch. So a big THANK YOU goes out to Kim who braved the drive from Sudden Valley to go to work today. I will be in the kitchen in a few minutes whipping up a batch of HKS Chocolate Chip Cookies as Thank You's for the TOM Girls...Yummy!
