I napped this afternoon?! I almost never nap, unless I'm sick. I lay day to put my leg up for a bit because my knee was giving me some grief and the next thing I remember was waking up wondering what day is it? what time is it? why am I dressed? My knee feels a bit better for the rest; I just hope that I'm not up half the night unable to sleep ( Read more... )

(This post has lots of "cuts" due to excessive "pictureness") I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Hubby and I have gone back to our old queen size bed because our dog Teddy seemed to have developed an aversion to his kennel. Our bedroom furniture is an antique set which has a double head and foot board so we bought a metal queen size headboard ( Read more... )

I'm haven't been online a lot lately, except for checking my email but that isn't a bad thing. I'm getting things done around the house so it's all good.

So, I've been recording my eating and exercise now for three weeks. I missed my doctors appointment last week, but when I got weighed yesterday I was down another 3.5 lbs for a total of 8.5 lbs ( Read more... )

I got a slow start today. I woke with a headache and after I let the dogs out I lay on the sofa for a couple of hours. When I finally got moving the headache was gone, but it was "curl up and read" kind of day. It was sunny today but chilly. This afternoon when I took Maggie for a walk it was -8 C or 17 F but with the windchill it felt like -15 C ( Read more... )

I wonder if there is anything resembling customer service these days? Do companies value their customers? It doesn't seem like it ( Read more... )

Hubby and I have been away for 2 weeks. We went to Ontario to see my Mom and to attend the internment of the ashes of Hubby's parents. In total we (Hubby) drove 7494 kilometers or 4656.5 miles round trip. It will be some time before my backside feels normal again. We pushed hard coming home; leaving Ontario on Monday morning and arriving home ( Read more... )

We are home. We arrived home to cold temperatures and woke up this morning to snow on the ground. Yup - snow. ( pictorial evidence )

I've been working in my stamping room most of the last few days. It's coming along and I actually made a few cards this evening. I'm out of practice and the cards didn't seem all that inspired but hopefully once the rest of my stuff is put away and I have room to work (and make a mess) things will improve in the creative department ( Read more... )

On his last stretch of days off Hubby hung some more of our art. Up until now the only room besides over the love seat in the living room that had any art work up was our bedroom. Now that the stairwell is painted we have more wall area ready for pictures and paintings. ( Click for photos )

I actually slept last night. It was glorious to wake up rested. I actually woke about a half hour before the time I thought I had set the alarm for. Funnily enough I set the time but didn't flip the switch so the alarm wouldn't have gone off ( Read more... )
