On to January

Christmas was lovely in its own way, but I honestly think (LOL) that I OVERTHINK it every year.  First, I begin getting in the mood to decorate long before it makes sense and I know then that I will lose my decorating drive soon after that preliminary feeling presents itself.  I do like all of the decorations but what would happen if I ONLY put up ONE tree?  Remind me next year, please.  The fudge tasted good to the girls but I didn't LOVE it like I did when I would make it years and years ago.  Why?  Do my taste buds still work?  Right now I am getting over a really awful cold/virus and I felt horrible for two days (not during Christmas).  I'm tired and a wee bit bored which is saying something because I'm not a real mover and a shaker anyway 😂

I am going to get my hair cut next week because even though a ponytail is easy, it definitely pulls my hair out.  I think my hair has been falling out for twenty years and I'm still not bald so that's good.  I really like my hairdresser.  Our Jenny went to her and she said to Jenny, "Your mom asks for impossible things." 😂 I think it's because I'll show her a haircut but say, "Please leave it long enough to tuck behind my ear."  Evidently, that's impossible.  LOL!

Sondra and I went to the chapel for Advent and it was unlocked and the heat was on!  A win!  We had fun singing Christmas songs and praying.  It really was a highlight of my Advent plans.

 I have a new Happy Planner!  I'm excited about it because I like to stick lots of stickers in the boxes.  I also have a plastic folder that holds lots of 4 by 6 note cards because I like small "canvases" for my doodles.  Brad reminded me about artist trading cards so I ordered some of those, too.  After I put all of the decor in the boxes I will repossess the big table in the family room and make good little messes there. 

It's "Mary Poppins" windy here today and the wind is cold.  I was reading old posts and I noticed that I complained about winter quite a bit in years past, but now I like it more.  I can wait for summer.

How was your Christmas? Did it seem to fly by quickly?  Did you have turkey (we had ham)? Kelli said she would share some split pea soup with us tomorrow.  Yum. I pray that you are chugging along well and NOT sick.  I pray you'll share your January dreams with me ☺️.

Thank you for stopping by! xo
