Same Old, Same Old

 

Lately it seems that each day that comes and goes is just like the previous one. How have you been? Have you been able to make the days feel different? Today I am planning on wrapping some Christmas gifts and I'm toying with decorating the house this weekend which would be a week early, just because I can. I hope to have a walk after dinner and take advantage of the milder weather.

The local radio station said they will start playing holiday tunes, that was a bright beacon of delight to hear! When I was in high school, I loved Christmas and the days leading up to it. I would wear jingle bells tied to my shoes and I'm amazed that the teachers and Sisters at my Catholic high school allowed this. Maybe they liked the 'jingle jangle' or maybe they had great restraint at being annoyed. 

I upgraded my phone after waiting since March to do so. Unfortunately I lost October and November photos due to a rookie mistake. I was so consumed with making sure my husband's photos were backed up that I completely blanked on my own. Thank goodness I really didn't have much on the phone!

My birthday is today and I will be having pumpkin pie after dinner, I am pretty excited about this. I am grateful for being alive, for the good health that I have, for my family and my two beloved pets - Frodo and Holly. I plan on perusing my yarn stash and considering a new cast on (for me). I also plan to pull out the watercolors.
