Overheard on the Plane

Woman on Phone: I don't know. I don't think we're off the plane yet.

Seriously? You don't have a clear answer to that one? Wow.

Christmas Eve

We just returned from the 10:30 service at church. Lessons were read and carols were sung. It’s one of my favorite Christmas traditions and I get chills every time the third verse of Joy to the World begins and the candles burn brightly as we welcome Christmas. “…and I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight ‘Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good...

blackoutcurtain: I’ve had a fun but weird-ish night. It’s not been enchanting (yet).  Further updates to come (maybe). Edit: No further updates. Happy Birthday to a wonderful friend! Kenneth, I wish you all good things for the upcoming year and hope to see you much more frequently. Have some wonderful birthday treats!!

A Christmas Tale

Not so very long ago (perhaps 6 years now? I can’t quite remember) I woke up Christmas morning very happy. I love my family’s Christmas. We spend the morning making breakfast (sausage, bacon, biscuits, eggs, etc.) and then sit down for a chaotic attempt at present giving and opening. My family is known for going a bit overboard at Christmas… and this particular year was no...

Sunday Night

Today was a day for relaxing. I spent most of the day hanging out in my apartment doing nothing. Tonight though, is a different story. While I’m still in my apartment, I’m spending it doing things that I love. I am baking. I am baking lots. Brownies & Sugar Cookies. I’m making icing. Most importantly, though, I’m watching my favorite Christmas movie. I’m watching...

Regarding Picture Christmas Cards

Best Friend: I'm sending your Christmas Card with the package I made!

Me: Oh... Is it a picture card?!

BFF: Yep.

Me: YES! I LOVE THOSE! If it wasn't just me, alone, I would send a picture card!

BFF: Well, when you get home take a picture with Ginger (the cat) and send that out!

Me: Um... You know Ginger died 4 years ago right?

BFF: What?! No! Wait... Maybe...

Me: Yeah.... I don't think anyone wants a picture of that.

BFF: Okay, yeah, no dead kitties in the Christmas Card.

Apparently, she really keeps up with the goings on in my life. Love you, BFF. Maybe you can lend me Sammy (her family dog) for a photo op next year?

alexlepoutre: jumpingfeetfirst: Jack created a lovely video of our trip to Vermont. It’s filled with the details rather than the whole picture and all together it makes a beautiful story. It’s about 3 minutes long and worth each second. Thanks for sharing, J! This is a fantastic video. I just love stuff like this. What kind of camera did he use? Are you going to make me jealous and say Eos...

Wassail Weekend, Woodstock, VT

Jack and I decided to take a little trip this weekend. We hadn’t yet been to Vermont, so we went up to Woodstock this weekend to check it out. On the way to Woodstock, we stopped at the Vermont Country Store and were amazed by all the goodies and deliciousness that existed inside. It literally had every penny candy available. It was amazing. Afterward, we headed to the Maple Leaf Inn....

Shopping High

Sister: Hey, guess what?

Me: what?

Sister: I just got done buying myself some holiday clothes!

Me: nice!

Sister: You don't understand... I've been shopping for everyone else for weeks and now there are things for me in the bag! I'm so excited, I feel like I'm on drugs!

Me: You are hilarious!

Sister: Seriously though. I'm on a total high! (Giddy laughter)

Not. Pleased.

I try not to be a suspicious person, so when my brand new apple ear buds disappeared from my desk, I thought I misplaced them. I ended up bringing in an old pair and have been using them for a month… Until they disappeared again. Now I’m pretty sure the cleaning people at our office are stealing them, since some of my co-workers are having that problem as well. Jokes on you, cleaning...
