2010 Here I come!

Well, I thought I had written a draft, but it isn't here, gone, poof, outahere, oh well. Yesterday I found the Pioneer Woman's blog and was promptly addicted. She is adorable and so real. I like people who are real. Real life is beautiful, and I love people who can embrace it just like it is even when it is a really muddy day.


Speaking of real, my car is parked in the garage!! And I have parked there all week! Amazing. It has been icy cold this whole last week, so I have enjoyed it as a special gift from my Handsome Hubby and my oldest. They say it's gonna stay that way. Won't that be nice? I'm not gonna hold my breath, but the idea is really nice.


Christmas is slowly disappearing around my house. Saturday morning we de-decorated the tree. That is always a little sad for me, but I made some sweet memories. We like to watch the Lord of the Rings series over Christmas break. This year we watched on New Years Eve and New Years Night. Then we stuck in one of the extra DVD's that showed how they did it. How fascinating!! My creative juices were flowing. It was freezing outside, but I knew Christmas would disappear before I knew it and I had really wanted to take some pictures of the lights. So I started playing. It was really fun. I went from swirls and then played with words - that I found out I had to spell backwards and upside down - not easy. What do you think?
