Valentines Day

Although you should show the people that you love how you feel about them every. single. day. Valentines Day is the day to do something extra special.  I didnt know what to expect this year, since we have had numerous conversations about how flowers are a waste of money. I decided to not expect anything, then I wouldn't be let down. To my suprise, he walks in after a long day at work, the day before Valentines Day with a bouquet of gorgeous flowers!  The picture doesn't do them justice!

I decided to try to do something just as sweet, and made this for him:



This Thanksgiving, what are you thankful for?

Thanksgiving is approaching and many of us are reflecting on all the things and people in our lives that we are thankful for. This Thanksgiving, November 25, 2010 will mark the two year anniversary of my divorce... and I am OH SO thankful for what I do not have! lol Each person bring joy into our lives, some when the come into our lives and other when they leave!

So this year I am giving thanks for what I no longer have and the wonderful blessings that I do. A Happy Turkey Day to all!!

Halloween

I haven't dressed up for Halloween in such a long time, I had forgotten how fun it could be! A group of us dressed up as the Super Hero Assisted Living Community, complete with a calendar of activities for us old washed up super hero's to take part.lol

We had  Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Zorro, Cat Woman, lava girl, and our "invisible man" with his own orderly and nurse. Neither my fiance` or BFF could tell the picture of me dressed up was me... lol

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells....

Yes this is the song that I have stuck in my head at the moment. I have been attempting to teach myself how to play the guitar and jingle bells is one of the few songs I can play so far. So playing this for the last few weeks has kind of gotten me into the Christmas mood already.

Its almost October already, where has this year gone??!! I decided to start shopping for Christmas early (like I used to do) and be finished with it by Thanksgiving. I made a few purchases tonight, I am hoping to really be finished by Turkey Day.

I hate the stress of trying to shop when it gets closer to Christmas, the crowds at the stores, worrying about not being able to find what you are looking for,etc. Plus, shopping early a little at a time makes it a little easier on the bank account too.

So, what about you? Have you started thinking Christmas yet?

Happy Mothers Day!

Hoping all mothers everywhere had a fabulous day! I was able to spend most of the weekend with my mom. Told her the great news, that I would not be permanently moving closer to work. I have mixed emotions about it, but it made her extremely happy!
