The sun is out, reflecting off the trees.  Kinda nice to see. It's been a lovely shade of grey. I hope you were pleased with your Christmas and that your Happy New Year didn't turn into the dreaded head bangers ball,lol.  We did diddley squat and liked every minute of it.
I'm gathering thoughts on my year in review. It'll take a minute.

A morning.....it's a bit chilly this morning. But that ok,  just might fire up the wood burner, haven't decided yet.  I have a few things to get done today so it doesn't run on into this coming week.  Must clear my leaf lettuce and start some new seeds.  I used a shallow dish---- dumb idea but it seemed to make sense at the time lol.  Its fertilizer day so that will be done.   I'll run some laundry, and continue to fill boxes.
A few know that I lost 2 of the most influential women in a girls life.  My Mom and my Grandmother both left within bout 4 months of each other.  Needless to say this year has not been very nice.  More like a nuclear tornado. But I can go thru this domicile now and not get all girly emotional. I have my sense of humor back....sort of, it's getting better.
So I am going thru every nook and cranny of this family home and dividing with a best I can do hand of fairness.   There is a lot here.  Understandable as it has been standing since 61.  Nope, don't need any help.  I'm pretty much done with the fury cryin pukin part.
Anyway, its party planning time for the river.  This is gonna be a good one.   How we are going to pull off the first big one I don't know.... Zydeco music.....good golly we have to find good dancing all around zydeco music....  Any ideas would be appreciated cuz this little person doesn't have a friggin clue.
So that that daylights a  burning!  :popcorn:

All I know is Zydeco and Cajun Music are not the same.

And we got us the first Monday of 2016.   
Got more boxes filled over the weekend.  Finished a set of boot cuffs, started a set of leg warmers.  Scullery maid stuffs done, garden stuff almost done. Yep pretty good weekend.  Himself sharpened all my knives, dang what a treat!!!!!  Sure will make life easier.
Hit the gym today. Felt good to bust that out. Now, it's return to real life and get it done.
Snow they say is coming, not much, By the end of the week rain.  It will make ya crazy if ya let if,lol

Back from the gym, oh my pants wee bit sore but that's what I get lol. Bright n sunny out there. Chilly on the cold side, but this is just prep for the frozen blast coming for next week.
New craft of the week is lettering glass with oil based sharpies.  I have the coffee cups down pat.  Now for glass.  I always keep 2 projects going....
Ha!  As you can see, it's a slow day.......

It's friggin cold in here. May have to make fire, yep, I'm thinking so.  Then again we are to get snapped with a polar vortex Sunday and Monday.   I am not looking forward to that.  But I kinda figured this el nin-whatever wouldn't last.
So some venison in the crock pot is the call.  Then I gotta work some today.  Our niece got married yesterday.  She didn't let it be known, and that ok.  She wants a big wedding.  I am discovering there are a lot of people that do the court house thing then have a big blow out sometime later.  Myself, I dont understand that way of thinking.   2 anniversary to deal with, all that stress of planning and spending.  Just doesn't make sense. Oh well, I'll just file that under, not my circus- not my monkeys.
Better get to it... Have a great day.    :popcorn:

Good morning peepers,  fresh out of the gym and ready for a day.  Did pretty good all in all. Cranked out some planks, Did some free weights, busted out my own version of rowing,  switched to the bike thingy instead of the tread mill.  I only like the tread mill when I do what I call face crawlers.   Whats that, well,  ya get a floor mat, ya lay it on the floor in front of the tread, you get down anchor yourself on your fore arms "plank position" put your toes on the tread and start moving your feet, maintaining that plank position.  Go to fast and your on your face. Hence face crawlers. It's only brutal until ya get the swing of it. Lol.
Good news/ yucky news.   Great niece (3 months) was released from hospital yesterday.  She got rsv pneumonia.  Did bout a week in icu, but she is good now. Newest great grandson is having nutrion issues.   Mom and Dr have tried everything, now it's specialist time....  Then, like that not enough, my other niece will find out today her test results.  She's very pregnant and they have discovered ICP.  Today they decide if they go and have that baby or let things be.   I am still reading so I understand just what that is.  Been a up and down 2 days.
With that, we are gonna get slapped with weather this weekend.   Rain, measureable snow, whatever that means and they don't know yet.  Oh and arctic air they say but the numbers are bouncing. Lololol, gotta be ready for whatever I guess.
Now it's on with my rest of the day....have fun with yours lol

Didn't get the snow they thought.  It was iffy in my way of thinking anyway.  But it is frozen out there.  How do I know, well my mittens froze to the door knob.   
Thats not nice :thumbdown:. Is ok, just changed them out. Today and tomorrow all things arctic gear.
