When I was home over Christmas break, my mom and Grandma Marge recovered an old chair for me. This chair had been in my room back home for almost as long as I can remember. It came from the old bachelor that lived in the one-room cabin that used to sit where our house is now. Mom recovered it back then with just some scrap material and it served its purpose. But I decided to spice it up a bit...........and this is how it turned out. What do ya think? I LOVE it!!
Been missing my little Jacey-Poo, so thought I'd post a video of him from this summer. We had so much fun! This is his impression of the famous YouTube video of "Charlie Bit Me." YouTube it to compare - he does a pretty good impression!
Who's excited right now that it's 5:00 pm and it's still light out? This girl is! Spring is COMING!!
Who's excited right now that it's 5:00 pm and I'm still at work? Not me. I'm outta here!
I'm sure most of you read the Choice Gleanings calendar this morning. I just really enjoyed today's calendar and wanted to share some of it with you all.
Ps. 5:1 "Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation."
"Prayer takes thought and is never hurried."
"...you are in communion with the Highest."
"...we can know His presence anywhere and He is not looking for long speeches, just sincerity in what we do say."
"O how praying rests the weary! Prayer will change the night to day; So when life seems dark and dreary, Don't forget to pray." - Mary A. Kidder
I finally decided to get my Christmas decorations out this year. Better late than never, right? I was contemplating not decorating at all and just avoid the hassle of dragging it all out and then packing it all away again in a couple of weeks. But I was finding that I really wasn't in the Christmas spirit and was way behind on my shopping. Plus my judge told me that not decorating because of the hassle meant that I was really getting old. So I drug everything out, and here's what my house looks like this year.
I've also recently found some evidence that I have some unwanted house guests. So I had to set out some other "decorations" around the house. 
The glue traps have been out for a week now, and I haven't caught anything yet and haven't seen anymore droppings. So hopefully they decided I meant business and it wasn't worth their time! I'll keep ya posted.
....of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know. Come on, everyone join in now!
Just sitting in my office on this cold, snowy afternoon singing this song to myself as I watch the roads get whiter and whiter outside being ever so thankful that I can ride the bus home engrossed in a good book instead of fighting traffic myself, wishing that I was curled up with a blanket and hot chocolate on my couch with either a good book, a good movie, or a nice loooooong nap.
Back to reality. My fingers are freezing. My toes are freezing.
I love winter! Really, I do. I just wish they could crank the heat up at work a little. Or maybe I should have worn socks today.
