I ALMOST FORGOT

HAPPY HAPPY HEALTHY WEALTHY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!! :}

XOXOXOXO

SO FAR THE SIDING GUYS HAVE CUT ALL MY CABLE WIRES (HAD TO WAIT FROM 2:30 PM FRIDAY TILL 10:00AM SATURDAY TO GET IT PARTIALLY FIXED AND WHEN I WENT TO GO FOOD SHOPPING MY TIRE WAS FLAT! THEY'RE LEAVING NAILS EVERYYYYWHERE!!! IM WORRIED ABOUT THE POOCHES FEET!!!!
ALSO I SAW THEY WHERE LEANING SHIT ON CLIFFS MOTORCYCLE :o SO I WENT OUT AND TOLD THEM MY HUSBAND WILL FREAK OUT IF HE SEE'S THAT, WHICH PROBABLY PIST THEM OFF AND THEY WILL PROBABLY GET REVENGE SOMEHOW??? NOT THE SWEETEST BUNCH OF GUYS. NO ENGLISH AND SNOT FACES ACCEPT FOR ONE YOUNG KID WHO IS VERY POLITE (AT LEAST TO MY FACE,LOL).
ANYWHOOOOOOO I HAD TO VENT. I SOUND UNGRATEFUL, I KNOW BUT I PROMISE YOU, I'M NOT. I JUST CANT HACK SNOTTY PEOPLE ANYMORE. ESPECIALLY ONES THAT ARE SLOBS AND DO STUPID SHIT :].
SIGHHHHHH....
THANKS FOR THE VENTING SESSION, LOL!!

SOMETHING IS STARTING

7:45 AM THE DOGS GO BALLISTIC AND WAKE ME FROM A NICE DEEP SLEEP, GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! IT ENDED UP BEING A MAN WITH A DELIVERY OF SIDING. HE SAID WHERE DO YOU WANT IT AND I SAID, ANY WHERE PAST THE BIG OAK TREE.I GUESS HE FELT "AT" THE OAK TREE WAS GOOD ENOUGH :/. I HOPE CLIFFS TRUCK WILL FIT IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN HE GETS HOME??? THE WORKERS WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO START BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND  YESTERDAY, AND THE DAY BEFORE,  ARE YET AGAIN NOT HERE TODAY AS SCHEDULED. I HOPE ITS NOT A SIGN THAT THEY WILL RIP THE HOUSE UP AND LEAVE IT HALF ASS FOR A MONTH BEFORE FINISHING????

ANYWHOOOOOOOOO CRISSY AND COMPANY HAVE MOVED TO THE FOYER. THE FAM SAYS ITS COOL CAUSE IF SOMEONE BREAKS IN, THE DOLLS WILL SCARE THEM RIGHT BACK OUT, LOL.

THINK ILL FINISH UP PUTTING CHRISTMAS AWAY TODAY AND MAYBE MAKE SOME SOUP? CREAM OF CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI PERHAPS?

HAVE A GREAT DAY! :}

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

I GOT THIS ADORABLE COLLECTIBLE COMIC BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS WHICH I CANT STOP LOOKING AT.

AND THIS GORGEOUS (LOOKS LIKE POLISH POTTERY) WHALE MUG FOR MY COFFEE. :}

HE MAKES ME SMILE...A LOT!

OHA ND THE PENS INSIDE OF HIM ARE ONE OF MY FAV'S AS WELL.

BE HAPPY AND DONT LET ANYONE GET YOUR GOAT SIGN, LOL. VERY GOOD ADVICE ;].

AND I GOT MYSELF SOME CHEAPO HEADPHONES FOR MEDITATING.

AND I ALSO GOT MYSELF THIS POPS COLLECTIBLE WITCH FROM HARRY POTTER. SHE WAS AT GAME STOP WHEN I TOOK THE KIDS :}.

STARTED THE LONG PROCESS OF PUTTING CHRISTMAS AWAY. IM FEELING THE NEW YEARS ENERGY.

MY KIDS ARE NOT FEELING THE NEW YEARS ENERGY JUST YET.

WAKING ANNA UP IS A ORDEAL SO BILL TOOK MY LAP TOP AND PUT IT BY ANNAS DOOR TO PLAY A HARD METAL SONG THAT SCREAMS "WAKE UP!!!!"

IT WORKED ;].

HAVE A GOOD ONE EVERYBODY!

FORGOT ONE!

LOVE THIS PIC AND I LOVVVVED PLAYING POKER WITH A BUNCH OF MY COUSINS AND KIDS !!!!

NEW CHRISTMAS TRADITION? :}

ALL OVER AGAIN

CHRISTMAS WAS FILLED WITH LOADS OF GOOD FOOD, FAMILY AND SPECIAL BIRTHDAYS (DAVID TURNED 50) AND LOTS OF SMILES ALL AROUND.

HE'S TO CUTE :}!

GETTING READY TO DIG IN.

FREDDIE WENT FIRST AND LOVED HIS GIFTS.

REX WAS QUITE HAPPY WITH HIS SNOWMAN.

AND THE KIDS DIDNT SEEM TO HAVE ANY COMPLAINTS EITHER,YIPPPP!

I LOVE THOSE SMILES!!!!

I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS. I DID AND I AM VERY VERY GRATEFUL!! :}

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS :}!

ENJOY ALL!!! XOXOXOXO

HOUSE PLANTS

I JUST READ THAT HOUSE PLANTS ARE BACK IN STYLE. DONT BE SCARED IF YOU DONT HAVE LUCK WITH THEM. JUST GET A COUPLE OF POTHOS PLANTS AND YOU WILL BE ALL SET. WHEN THEY NEED WATER THEY WILL DROOP DRAMATICALLY AND THEN POP BACK TO LIFE QUICKLY AFTER YOU GIVE THEM A NICE DRINK.

 FOR YOU GALLO'S OUT THERE,YES,THIS IS THE VINE LIKE PLANT THAT GRAM HAD IN THE KITCHEN :}.

YOU CAN CUT THEM BACK OR LET THEM GO WILD, THEY CAN GET QUITE LONGGG.

THATS MINE BEHIND MY CHRISTMAS CARDS THAT I STILL HAVENT DELIVERED :/.

3 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS :o !

THATS MY CHRISTMAS CACTUS IN FULL BLOOM. THESE GUYS ARE PRETTY EASY TO. TO MAKE THEM BLOOM, 6 TO 8 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS PUT THEM SOME PLACE MOSTLY DARKISH AND COOL (60 DEGREES OR SO) .MINE GOES IN MY USUALLY DARK ,COOL FOYER ROOM NEXT TO A WINDOW, SO IT DOES GET SOME SUN AND IT STILL BLOOMED. I THINK THE MAIN THING IS INDIRECT LIGHT AND COLD.ONCE IT STARTED BLOOMING I PUT IT IN MY LIVING ROOM AND ITS HAPPY.

THE STOCKING YOU MADE ME ANNE IS STILL LIKE NEW! LOVE IT! GREAT WORK!

OH HEY, DID I TELL YOU REX DOES TAROT READINGS NOW? :}

I GOT UP TO GET SOMETHING AND HE HOPPED IN MY CHAIR. HE ALWAYSSS DOES THIS. IF I PULL OUT A CHAIR TO SIT I HAVE TO MOVE LIKE LIGHTENING OR HE'LL GET THERE FIRST. HE DEFINITELY WAS A HUMAN IN A PAST LIFE!

HAVE A GREAT ONE ALL!!!

WINTER

SO IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF WINTER. BYE BYE TO MY FALL DAYS. I'M READY THOUGH. TIME TO START CRAFTING LADIES OR FIND THAT NEW INDOOR HOBBY.

IDEAS-

PAINTING

PHOTOGRAPHY

WRITING

BLOG :}

SCULPTING CLAY

READING

LEARNING SOMETHING NEW WITH ONLINE CLASSES, LIBRARY CLASSES ETC. 

COOKING CLASSES

YOGA OR ANY EXERCISE

SOAP MAKING

CANDLE MAKING (GOOD LUCK,LOL)

CROCHETING

KNITTING

SEWING WITH PATTERNS

TRY DIY FACE CREAMS AND BEAUTY PRODUCTS

STARTING SEEDS INDOORS(IM TRYING MY HAND AT CARNIVOROUS PLANT BY SEED)

MAKE AN INDOORS FAIRY GARDEN

MODEL BUILDING (CARS, BOATS, DOLL HOUSES)

GET RIDICULOUSLY ORGANIZED BY SPRING 

REDECORATE THE WHOLE HOUSE (JUST MOVE ALL YOUR FURNITURE AROUND AND TRY NEW LOOKS. ITS FREE!)

ANOTHER IDEA TO HELP KEEP YOU CHIPPER IS INSTALL ALL NEW BRIGHT LIGHT BULBS IN YOUR HOUSE TO MIMIC THE SUN. GET THE NEW ONES THAT USE WAY LESS ENERGY AND LAST A LOT LONGER. THEY ARE MORE EXPENSIVE TO BUY BUT ARE WORTH IT IN THE LONG RUN.(DONT USE THOSE CURLY BULBS CLOSE TO YOUR BODY IN TABLE LAMPS.NO GOOD FOR YOU!)

AND IF ALL OF THIS DOESNT FLOAT YOUR BOAT.....WELL THEN,NO WORRIES. TIME FLIES AND SPRING WILL BE HERE IN A JIFFY. :}

OKAY NOW, WHO DO YOU SEE???

HAPPY 78TH BIRTHDAY POP

THE MAN STILL HAS MORE ENERGY THEN ME :}. I LOVE YOU SMURF! YOUR MY WOOBY IN LIFE.

ITS THE WOODS WITH THE CEMETERY STYLE GATES. I POSTED THE PHOTO IM GOING FOR A COUPLE WEEKS BACK I THINK.

HOPE YOUR ALL WELL.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

LEARNING AS I GO

THE BELOW IS MY PAINTING BEFORE I DECIDED TO DO SOME FINISHING TOUCHES AND THE ONE AFTER IS THE DONE DEAL. I AM ALWAYS AFRAID ILL MESS UP THE PAINTING IF I TAKE THINGS INTO A UNFAMILIAR AREA BUT I FELT MY FINISHED PAINTINGS WERE JUST TO LIFELESS AND FLAT. ANYWHO I HOPE YOU AGREE THE CHANGES MADE IT FEEL MORE ALIVE, SO TO SPEAK. I CAN NOT GET THE COLORING EXACT WHEN I TAKE PHOTOS BUT ITS PRETTY CLOSE.

SO WHAT DID I ADD YOU SAY,LOL. WELL I'LL TELL YOU :}. I ADDED DETAILS TO MY TREES,I ADDED FAR AWAY BACKGROUND TREES, I GOT RID OF THE BADDD PUMPKIN PATCH AND PUT IN A SWING, I ADDED MUSHROOMS AND SOME SHADOWS OF THE TREES AND SUCH .

BETTER???? 

IT IS IN PERSON,I PROMISE.

HAVE A GREAT ONE!
