a little trip to town today...

I was bored today...

so we headed for town...

something we hardly ever do, just because...

but I wanted to get out...

I did a tad bit of shopping...

these are little bitty candles...

that look like chocolates...

cute?

cookie dough cupcakes bites...

with sprinkles!

and a couple of heart shaped items to put on my heart day tree...

found some pink heart paper doilies, too...

it was a fun time with DH...

I love these and will keep them out all year...

and some rose soaps...

in a pretty shade of dark pink...

I think they look like icing roses that I used to make...

see where this is going?

I will get it all set up tomorrow...

and then show you what I did with it...

stopped at KFC and got an ice cream cone to share on the way home...

with me gloves on and the heater on full blast!

it was around 30 here today, but that wind was painful!

it had a nasty sting to it and I got my fill of it pretty darn quick...

came home and took a nice long nap...

finally got warm again...

we are all got stuffy heads and dry coughs here...

there are things going around all over...

so hope we beat this thing and it doesn't get any worse...

well, Craig just turned the critter lose, so I had better love on him while he is in the mood...

I have something fun planned for all of you tomorrow, so stop back in again!

OH, YEAH!

I DIDN'T TELL YOU WHERE I FOUND ALL OF THAT, NOW DID I?

DOLLAR TREE!

lookin' back at 2012...

it seems like it was just last week, doesn't it?

ok, ok...

been playing around in a new photo editor...

picmonkey...

and I like it...

easy to use...

fast...

and free, unless you want all the extras...

I miss making these things...

so this was fun...

DH is shopping...

I woke up last night in the middle of the night with the hiccups...

and it was all grease...

probably no more fish dinners for me from the cafe...

finally starting to feel a little better...

puttered around a bit, but mostly sittin' here on my butt...

so, might go take a nap or just wait for hubby to return...

not sure how long he has been gone, forgot to look at the clock when he left...

but we have made mashed potatoes and cleaned up while he's been gone...

put cooking oil in Elmer's and Daphne's ears...

for ear mites...

they were treated and just doing a follow up to make sure...

Elmer is awfully quiet, so I had better go see where he crashed...

have a great afternoon and evening!

I found the sun...

when I got up from my nap today...

I saw the sun shining in...

love this vintage lamp with its flat shade...

the sun was just dancing in for only a short time...

we have been cloudy forever...

another part of the heart tree...

Elmer is fitting right in...

after a long romp around the house...

he settled into the basinette for a nap...

just look at those sleepy eyes...

I found this on facebook...

would make a great Halloween tombstone...

would love to have this on my stone...

how many people would jump back???

bwahahahahaha...

so, the fish from the cafe is talking back tonight...

got up with a grease taste in my mouth and the hiccups...

we went to bed way too early, so now we are both up...

the weather man, who we know is nuts...

said freezing rain tomorrow afternoon...

DH is heading for Walmart before it hits...

it shouldn't amount to much, but it doesn't take much to throw you in a ditch...

have a great day!

in the kitchen and a thought, a really good thought...

good morning!

just a quick show of how part of the kitchen was regrouped after the Christmas decor came down...

there are junior mints in that pressed glass bowl...

within arms reach of me when I am at the kitchen table...

put up some snowflakes when we moved the mantle and just kept the garland I used for Christmas for a wintery feel...

and if you look closely...

there is glitter on those dern things...

I am sure Donna is dancing with joy...

;)

I won this on someone's blog over a year ago and just love it...

a little journal, which I will use someday...

but just looking for the right inspirational thing to do in it...

maybe some of my thoughts and quotes that I use here on the blog...

maybe something to pass down to a grand daughter...

if I ever get one!

and DH came home last weekend from my meds run with this little guy for me...

I now have adopted 4 of them officially and they are in the kitchen...

always looking out for them now...

they match my sock monkey house slippers and hat...

I think I need a sock monkey shirt...

and here is your thought for the day...

its still early in the new year to start this...

I think I am going to do it...

I wonder how many jars I can fill up?

well, the weekend is upon us once again...

take a smile out there with you give it away to everyone...

you never know who you might touch...

don't forget to take photos and post your fun!

valentine's day tree...

this year, it has no lights...

and as I find new and fun things...

they will be added as well...

it sits in the kitchen where I look straight into it from the kitchen table...

you know...

right next to the mantle...

that we moved over in front of the north facing windows...

because there seems to be a drafty area there...

I think it needs a sock monkey, so I am on the look out for one with a heart...

the baby is lose and running amuck...

every now and then, I am a victim of a drive by...

just got a load of laundry in the dryer...

need to do some quick pick up and light dusting...

not sure what's going on after lunch...

Craiger woke with a head ache...

so he is getting his shower first...

I couldn't sleep last night so went back to bed this morning...

got up with a stuffed up head...

too hot in here, so got up and it drained ok...

turned the heat down...

been blog hopping a bit, but have more to do...

and then I have this really good book a friend got me for Christmas that I want to start on...

still in the teens here, so not a good day to be out...

not at all...

so come back later and I will show you something else!

today's thought...

just for you...

big hugs...
