The weather in my neck of the woods:
Cold and lots of snow!


Things that make me happy: 
The snow!  I don't have to go out in it, so we can sit and watch it from inside where we are nice and cozy warm.


Book I'm reading:
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson and As Always, Julia the letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto by Joan Reardon.


What's on my TV today: 
Probably lots of old Will and Grace.

On the menu for dinner:
Chicken tacos with Mango avocado salsa


On my To Do List:LaundryGet chicken going in the crockpot


New Recipe I tried or want to try soon:
My delicious mac and cheese.


In the craft basket:
I'm still working on a cute bird pillow softie.


Looking forward to this week:
Family time and a more relaxed week.


Tips and Tricks:
Hmm...  I can't really think of any today.


My favorite blog post this week: 
Nerd Nest - Happy Birthday Eliza


No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):





Lesson learned the past few days:
Don't assume the negative.  It just stresses you and everyone else around you out.  If things turn out to be negative, then deal with it at that time, but maybe they aren't and you stressed for no reason.



On my mind:
Fixing lunch and watching a movie with the kids.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

By
Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

By
This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...
