When I think of Valentine’s Day, I remember my friend, Stacie, whose spouse normally sends her a dozen of these Leonida roses. I used to go by her desk and smell them. The shop they came from didn’t have them laying around for days on end. They smelled like they had just come out of the garden.

At my old workplace, we used find it amusing when women who received flowers placed them high up on their cubicle shelves so the whole world could see them. We just thought it was funny that they wouldn’t place them on their desks and breathe in the aroma of fresh flowers in 英雄联盟之谁与争锋.

I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day where ever you are, whether you are with the love of your life, he/she is far from you, or you are just standing by waiting for that person to come along.  

If you do nothing else, enjoy this video from Post Secret.

On the way home, this is what I bought for New Year’s Eve. We are also having steak (fresh from Nebraska) some shrimp and stuffed baked potatoes.

But the margaritas are the important thing.

Have Fun!

It took awhile, but I finally got a decent picture of it. Turned off all the lights, set my camera to take a night shot, and there it was.

Kind of looks like a person’s face on one side, doesn’t it?

Got a pumpkin pic to post? (Say that fast 5 times) Drop your link in comments.

I can’t have a real tree because I am allergic to pine tree sap. Hives are not fun to have around Christmastime. It’s a sad sort of gift, really.

Tomorrow around 10, we are heading OUT OF THE HOUSE for Christmas Eve lunch. We have not been out of the house together since Friday, a week and some change ago. The man in the walker has needed some recuperation time, and still does. I hope this won’t stretch him too far.

Christmas day, I am cooking a small lunch for us and my FIL. I am making turkey legs (cause, hey, white meat gets kinda dry), stuffing, corn, mashed and sweet potatoes and cherry pie for dessert. Sounds like a lot of starch, doesn’t it? But no one eats jello with fruit in it around here, so I guess that PIE will have to do!

Have a good holiday, people. Try to make it joyous, no matter what.

Thanks to the cold I picked up in the hospital, I’ve been operating in something of a fog. But this IT stuff digs me out of that. It’s something relatively unemotional that forces me to think further than the surface. It’s a needed distraction. I spent a bulk of my day doing Intranet design. Have a table… must convert to sidebar…..

Yesterday, my daughter and I left the house for an hour to attend a reading activity at her school. We went in our jammies. We cuddled up on the floor and she read to me, and she read very well. I was so proud of her.

After an hour, Santa showed up! He read another two books to them, then it was cookies and hot chocolate for everyone.

It was a surprisingly good time. As I go through the holidays, it’s fun to create new traditions with my family. It’s as though Christmas is being remade into something of our own.
