Life as I know it

Well how was your Christmas?

All that work and its over in the blink of a eye.

Now we just wait for new years>

Do you make New Years resolutions?

Do you keep them?

One year I quit smoking best thing I ever did

never went back to it.

But usually I dont make them, because I dont keep them.

This year we are going out for a quiet dinner

on New Years Eve, and then home to watch

a movie, usually we dont even make it up till

New Years.

Merry Christmas

The presents are under the tree

The table is set

The tree lights are on

The house is clean

We are just waiting for the shopper and the husband

then its Merry Christmas to us

and Merry Christmas to you

Shopping therapy

Ear therapy is completed after 8 sessions

He's done the best he could do

and his best is pretty good, not to much dizziness left

Go to see the ear, nose, throat Dr.  on Jan 10 so

all is well is Leeland.

Finished the commission for the cityscape, and it

turned out fabulous lol at least I think so

Today I did some shopping therapy  

I went to Michael's, bought a few things I wanted,

had lunch out, and wandered around in  Marshall's

The weather is fabulous here, you still need

your ski coat, but when its above zero you take

what you can get.

The eye key to your soul

Did you know that there is ear physio?

There is, and I have been 5 times,

I have an inner ear infection since

May and cant seem to shake it,

I have had my hearing tested, just

in case I have lost hearing because

of it, but I havent, even though

my husband swears I have, because

I just tune him out lol

The physio consits of being thrown

around by your therapist, every

girls dream.  While wearing a

camera on your eye, apparently

the eye can tell everything about

the ear, who knew.

The Farm

Do you have a real tree or a fake tree

When growing up, we first used to get real

tree , we never would go out and get our own,

we always went to a place that sold trees.

Our first fake tree, was a pink one,

my mother liked it, we had it till it fell apart,

then moved on to a sliver tree.  Now that I have

my own family, we have never had a real tree,

always a fake green one, I think after growing up

with colored trees, green is the best.

Tales from the cheap seats

well I decided to draw some flowers last night well 

watching TV.  When I am watching TV and doing art

I use just cheapo markers, but the color that comes out of

those markers are beautiful dont you think.  I keep telling everybody you dont need to spend alot of money to make great art.

Oh the tales of the fruitcake......

Its to cold to go out today big wind chill

I was going to make a fruitcake,

but instead sent the hubster to buy one

My mother always made her fruitcakes early

in the month, then wrapped them up and stored

them in the fridge until it was time to

eat them.  I love fruitcake, but really

its cheaper and less stress just to

buy them.

Fla la la la la

Well as you can see I am a little behind the times.

Today is all about finishing up the last little bit of xmas shopping

having lunch with the shopper

I know I said I wasnt going to bake but I caved and

am going to bake some cookies for a friend

I know a few are going to sneek into my hand

dont judge......

Baby its cold outside

today feels more like Christmas
its freezing cold here with a high wind chill
doesn't even want to make you go outside
Have the fireplace on , a cup of hot chocolate and a good book
I am good to go

Christmas Traditions

Do you have a christmas tradition that has been passed down that you still practice.  At christmas with my parents , only one person passed out the presents, and the next present was not passed out , until all the people had opened their present, and properly ohed and ahed over.  We still practice that tradition in my house.

Light to dark

I have this thing, I like to draw funky cities, the city is off center,   colorful and fun.  So this is my entry for the challenge, light to dark over at https://art-journal-journey.blogspot.ca/

Christmas Countdown

well its the first day of December, do you feel ready for all the

hoopla that is coming this month.  I am getting there, I dont want

to feel rushed this month, I want to slow down and enjoy Christmas, and the

holiday season.  I have got the parcel to my sister who lives out of

town sent out before the rush.  I have most of the Christmas shopping done.

I dont have the tree up yet but am in no hurry to do it.  Since I got

a new tree a couple of years ago its like heaven to put up.  Already had the

lights on it, which as we all know is most of the job.  The decorating part

is the fun part.  I really used to go all out and decorate a lot, but

I have really paired down on my Christmas stuff.  I decided no

baking will be done by me this year, as I am on weight watchers,

I can even freeze the cookies, but somehow they magically

disappear out of the freezer, to be eaten frozen.  I keep

telling my husband, that someone else in the house must be eating them lol.

Both the hubster an I have decided that we wont buy anything for

each other this year.  First off we dont need anything, when we

want we buy it, we are both retired and dont need much.  I never thought

I would hear my self say that but its true.  We buy for the daughter and

her husband, and my mother inlaw, we have a small family.  Okay

I have found a couple of great videos I thought you might like 

enjoy
