It is about 30 minutes before midnight here. I thought I'd pop in and say Happy New Year!
Went to dinner with a couple friends a little earlier and now are just waiting for the ball to drop although I will miss hearing Dick Clark wish everyone a Happy New Year this year.
I hope that 2013 brings health, happiness and peace! That is a tall order I know but I can at least hope!
I've got my own goals as well. Not resolutions but goals. I would really like to be able to have our bathroom renovated by the end of 2013. I'd like a better (more vast) balcony garden this year too. If these two things can be accomplished I will be happy!
I see hub in the chair, has not quite made it to watch the ball drop. He is sound asleep. I'll wake him up a few minutes before. Now's my chance to change the TV station from Pawn Stars to New Year's Rockin' Eve!

Saturday for REAL
Having most of this week off, has made me think it was Saturday so many times, so I can say I have the right day for once! :)
My youngest went back to her college town yesterday and is set to fly out to PA this morning. Luckily it looks like the flight is on schedule. I wasn't real sure when heard about the prediction for some snow back east to hit today. It sounds like it will only be a few inches so all should go as planned.
Since we cleaned the house pretty thoroughly for Christmas, I don't have to think about cleaning this weekend, just doing laundry. That reminds me, have to put some clothes in the dryer...
I'm back. No real plans today. I'm watching Pit Bulls and Parolees on TV. I admire that lady for rescuing Pitt bulls and trying to find new homes for them. I admit, I am very cautious whenever I am near them and tend to avoid them. I can't help it. I am trying to change my attitude about them, especially after I watch a few episodes of this show.
At least I feel we do our part by adopting rescued shelties and shellions (we think Ditzy is papillon/sheltie mix). We also took care of some friend's dogs while they were away at Christmas.
On top of that we also tried to let my youngest's dog stay here but she is a lot bigger than our dogs. I would guess she is blue heeler/lab mix. She is a doll and adorable but she kept barking at our dogs wanting to play with them and that resulted in them snapping at her and avoiding her like the plague. Although she was taking their warnings, I wasn't sure if she might just snap back. Stac called her boyfriend to say he had to take her back to his folks house. They only have one dog who is older and they had agreed to watch her anyway, so I didn't even know we'd be trying to deal with it. My hubby was stressed out over all the dog situations so that compounded the problem. One of the dogs we tried to take care of for our friends would not come to us at ALL and did not eat for two days. They had 4 dogs that we were going over to feed twice a day. Hub says never again and I agree, although it was easier once someone that the scared dog knew, picked him up and took care of him for the rest of the time.
Now everything is back to normal and we survived Christmas! :)

Christmas musings..
Our youngest got here Christmas Eve after 10:30pm, so I did not stay up real long to visit as it was getting late. But it was nice to know she was home safe and sound and there was plenty of time to visit during the next few days.
Christmas morning I decided I wasn't going to bother exercising since after all it was Christmas! So that was my little gift to me. :) After Stac came downstairs we watched her open up her gifts. She liked all of them, but part of the gift was also to get some more clothes that would be student teaching appropriate since she will be doing that next semester. Schools frown upon teachers wearing jeans and sweat shirts. :)
I got my crock pot meat loaf and potatoes started and then we baked some old fashioned sugar cookies, you know the kind you roll out, then use cookie cutters in different shapes, then decorate. We used Christmas trees, angels, rocking horses and I forget, one other shape I think. They are not my favorite cookie and rather a pain with all the steps, but my mom put in a special request for them, so we made them. They sure made the kitchen smell great!
Then we went over and visited my folks up the road for a little and took over some warm cookies and a gift I had gotten my mom. She had mentioned a CD player but did not want the kind with ear plugs. I found just the right size one. After we got to my parents and seated ourselves in their living room my dad started in on a story about how he was looking for a CD player. I looked at my hub and he looked at me. I started to try to remember where I put the receipt! Back to my dad's story, he confused the worker and himself (I guess) about speakers separate from the player and it ended up that he did NOT get one. So I turned to my mom and smiled and told her she should open her gift. She did and she likes it but didn't recall telling me about the CD player desire at all. She apparently DID tell my dad. She had just told me last Tuesday but I guess she forgot. She is 85 so I can't expect her to remember everything. I thanked my dad for not getting one but also apologized that I got one and he didn't.
My dad has a portable bridge game that has a button that is not functioning. He had wanted me to find out if it could be sent back to be repaired as the exact game is not made any longer. I actually found some on an online auction website (although have not purchased yet), so I just gave him a note saying a replacement game will come). While he appreciates that, he still wants to see about sending his back for repair. Ugh! I was trying to avoid having to get into that, but guess I will try to find out for him. I haven't done anything about it yet as Stac is still here visiting.
We were going to go into town to shop yesterday but it was only suppose to get up to the mid 40's..brrrr.. That is COLD for central Texas. Today's forecast was partly cloudy and high of 54 so thought it would be better to go today. Although we went and had a great time and she got some new clothes...the weather sucked! It was drizzly all afternoon and never got above 45 degrees out. I hate when they are that OFF with the weather forecast when walking around outside!
That is done though, dinner too. So we are relaxing now, watching TV, and I have the smallest furkid in my lap while I am typing with one hand blogging. I loved having off this week so far, but I keep forgetting what day it is! :-)

Christmas Eve
Okay so we're not having a typical Christmas Eve. Many are gathered with family and/or close friends for dinner. Many are going to church whether it is their obligatory once a year appearance or whether it is to truly thank God for his son who we celebrate the birth of tomorrow.
I did do some cleaning today including toilet scrubbing. Yes on Christmas Eve! Right now we are watching Long Island Medium. I would be watching Its a Wonderful Life but my hubby is not interested in seeing it again. He doesn't know how I can like to watch this or other Christmas movies every year. But that is one of the things I like about Christmas! :) Call me corny but it isn't really Christmas unless I've seen White Christmas. I am planning on seeing it tomorrow with my youngest.
We are waiting for my youngest to get here later tonight after she is done her last day of work. She is going to be student teaching so she quit her job at JC Penney as she would not be able to fit that into her schedule. It is hard to believe she only has one more semester left and then she is done college! And if she doesn't come back home to live for a while.. that will be my full -fledged status as an empty nester. Oye! I don't want to think about it.
I won't think about it! I am just looking forward to her visit and can't wait to have her home again!

Dreams
Apparently two nights ago I snored, all night long and loudly! My husband teased me about it from the moment I came into the kitchen yesterday morning. He was zinging me with comments like "even when you rolled over, I thought it would stop and then ...SSSSNNoooree.. you'd start in again", and "it was so bad, even the dogs were bothered. I looked over and saw Ditzy's paws in her ears"! Of course when one is sleeping soundly, one doesn't notice. I had no clue! Of course I shot back such comments as "well it was payback time, honey!" There have been plenty of times when he was rockin' the walls himself.
Anyway I recalled that the night before I had very challenging dreams. It was one of those nights that I was dealt with tasks in my dreams that never actually were achieved. I hate those kind of dreams and hate when I dream them. After all, aren't dreams suppose to be our down time, recharging activity time? A time for rest, relaxation, building up energy for the next day's tasks? Why then are they just as frustrating as some days sometimes?
So last night I was determined to attempt not to snore but also have nicer dreams. My hubby said I snored just once, well I let out one snort last night. So to me that meant that I did not snore. But I also remember having nicer dreams. I dreamt about riding bikes along rolling green hills, liking a man that was cute but was not mine.... yet.
I rarely dream about my husband, or my dogs for that matter. Once in a while my kids are in there but not that often. Wonder what that means? I would think my family would be in every dream I have ,but no. I am never my age in my dreams either. Wonder if it is that way for everyone? I am always young, pretty and quite often in love or at least lust with someone. Those are the good dreams that I like and welcome them any time. I choose to have those kind all the time, but we cannot pick what we dream about can we? Maybe if I think of the things I want to dream about right before going to sleep, that will help. Sometimes dreams seem to last forever too and others are way too short. The ones that seem to last all night long for me are the bad ones that I wake up remembering how frustrating they were.
Enough about that for now. Christmas eve is tomorrow and I have some gifts to wrap and will get some cookie dough ready to put in the fridge for baking on Christmas day with the youngest. My mom put in a request for old fashioned sugar cut out cookies so that is what I will get ready today.
I found out I have off tomorrow too, so that is great! I didn't remember we were told at training in October and I have a few days off this week anyway, so turns out I only have to work 1/2 day Friday! I have never had this much paid time off at Christmas, so I consider this fact alone a wonderful Christmas gift!

Friday before Christmas..
I was going to blog yesterday about the night before but I was dragging all day and was too tired to write. I didn't even walk or exercise at all! That's how I know I was beat!
Wednesday night there were winds with gusts upwards of 40 mph. Now i know that is not tornado force winds but let me tell you, when you have a metal roof, you notice when the wind is whipping. Something squeaks too. I think some flashing around the chimney that is metal may flap a little because it sounds like something is moving up there when the wind kicks up.
The winds were not suppose to start until around 2:00am. They started up when I was only in bed about 10 minutes watching the beginning of Jay Leno. So let's just say I did not fall asleep for a while! After 30 minutes, the television turned off (timer) and there I was listening to the wind and in between gusts hearing a dark barking incessantly outside. I felt bad for the dog having to be outdoors and I think it was just barking and barking to be let indoors, but wasn't getting anywhere. Then in addition to the wind and the dog barking I could hear a cup or can rolling up and down the street from the wind. It was almost comical! We had a window open because when we went to bed it was still 70 degrees outside!
The power went out twice for a moment, just long enough for the clocks to start blinking. Ugh! I tossed and turned for about an hour I'd guess then I came up with a brilliant idea! I wouldn't hear the wind so much if I turned the TV on and just kept it on low. Hubby was fine with that so I turned it on and Jimmy Fallon was still on. Okay that helped some for about 10 minutes....right when I was finally starting to drift off to sleep..then it went pitch BLACK. NO TV, no night light, no street lights outside, the power was OUT in the neighborhood. Just great! When that happens and there is not a glimmer of light from anywhere it is really pitch black!! I wondered for a moment if that is what it is like to be blind. I really wanted to SEE something. Finally my eyes started to adjust a tiny bit.
After another 5 minutes or so the power came back on and for the third time I was trying to set my clock guessing each time what time it was when the power went out. I didn't bother turning the TV on again. The power stayed on after that but the winds never let up. I remember looking at the clock several times. Why does time seem to drag when you are awake at night? Other times my head hits the pillow and I can't believe it is time to get up already the next morning?!
I would guess I got maybe 3 hours of sleep that night! I don't know how people function on a few hours of sleep! I've read how so many people don't get much sleep and they just live that way. I was grouchy, tired and couldn't wait for yesterday to be OVER! :) So glad I usually get 8 hours of sleep!
No wind last night thank God! :)

Stopping by
Thought I'd take a few minutes and blog a little.
Oh I wanted to show a few pictures of a bigger than normal size little gecko that was hiding in our laundry bag. My husband discovered it (thankfully, as I would have likely screamed..mostly due to surprise). These were the pictures he took. This thing was a bit of a chameleon with how well it blended in to the rug on the floor. He did not capture it though as it scurried off somewhere. Every night before we turn in he checks under the covers to make sure it isn't in our bed!
I have been busy working and if not working, working on the angel card project that I participate in. I got all of them done. I mailed out 295 of them. Add that to the 34 personal cards and I have sent a LOT of cards out this year. I know a lot of people just don't send cards any more. Postage keeps going up, greeting cards aren't cheap and who has the time?! Well this is one thing that I enjoy doing. My one charitable thing at the holidays, well one of them. We also bought dog food, cat food, kitten food and toys for the Georgetown Animal Shelter and took that over today since we had to renew our dogs licenses anyway. They were very appreciative and we like to help. I don't have a lot of spare time to help with walking dogs, etc., so at least we gave by providing some things they always need.

Taking a moment
Before I get to work in a few minutes, thought I'd take a moment. The angel card project I participate in is going full force now....I got over 100 Christmas cards done so far. I'm just waiting for some ink I ordered to print out more photos of the dogs to put in them. I do that to give folks a little something to make them smile. (the photo is in Nov 25th blog).
I am getting busier with work as well and worked this weekend, first weekend in nearly two months. I am finally getting comfortable with my current position and am happy to get over for the most part the learning curve of starting at a new place. :)
I haven't been able to (or took the time to) visit the local Farmers Market on Thursday afternoons the way I like to and have really missed making some fresh vegetables. I know I could get them at the store, but with so many things being treated with pesticides or being GMO (genetically modified organisms) food that is not so healthy for you. So I started getting Greenling delivered to me. It is wonderful! It is locally grown (in TX) fruit and produce that I can either hand pick or purchase by the box.
I get the 'local box' delivered and have gotten it twice so far. I order every 3 weeks or so. It is fresh, local, they deliver and they provide recipes too! That part I love as some times I get things I've never even heard of! This last order I got a butternut squash and Kohlrabi. I still have to see what part of the Kohlrabi one even eats, but it is fun! I never had butternut squash before. I used the butternut squash last night in a recipe I found online for roasted vegetables (the recipe that came in the box was for mashed butternut squash and I did'nt really want to make that. Snapped a photo below.
Everything it it except the red peppers (from my own garden) was from my order: onion, shitaki mushrooms, green peppers, and of course butternut squash. It turned out to be a wonderful tasty dish! Of course hub didn't eat it as he likes none of those vegetables...so I froze some to have as my veges with two other meals.
Well better get to work.

Photos
Okay. I went on my Desktop since I wanted to post the photos of the fireplace. Also took a picture of the lights we have outside too. Wanted to get these up before I went back to work. So here they are. :-)

Decorating done...even though it was over 80 outside today
We got our Christmas decorations up. Yah!!!
We do not put up as many as we used to, but hubby did put some up outside (I'll take a picture at night soon to post, and I put some up in the fireplace. Here is a picture. Think it looks warm, and cozy and oh yes..Christmas-y.
Okay well I couldn't upload the picture. I'm using a new laptop I got and can't get the image to upload. Gotta love new technology. Not! It took me a bit getting Windows Live mail to work for me as I am used to Outlook or Outlook Express only and they always have to make changes to programs and names so that we can keep having to learn new things every time we get a computer. I wasn't going to get a new laptop but my old Toshiba was just getting really sluggish and it has actually been the laptop that lasted me the longest, longer than two others I had. And I used it when my oldest was still in high school (think I got it in 2003/2004) so that is how long I've used that one.
I still have it for a back up and for some emails that I'm sure I was saving for some reason, but this one is very nice with very beautiful clear colors/photos.
I'll post the fireplace picture later on this week as I'm getting pretty tired and just wanted to blog a little bit since it has been a week. Yes work is getting busy, so that is a good thing but that also means less time for blogging.
Well I am tired of trying to post the photo...good night.

I still have it for a back up and for some emails that I'm sure I was saving for some reason, but this one is very nice with very beautiful clear colors/photos.
I'll post the fireplace picture later on this week as I'm getting pretty tired and just wanted to blog a little bit since it has been a week. Yes work is getting busy, so that is a good thing but that also means less time for blogging.
Well I am tired of trying to post the photo...good night.
