Life is gonna be "great" in 2008!!

I've decided that this is going to be my motto for the New Year!!

The first order of business: Get Organized!!

Sort shopping receipts by store & catagory!!

Example: Clothing, Decorating, Auto, Gas, Electronics, Food, Pets........

I hope you enjoyed spending time with family & friends!!

Only 6 days left until Christmas!!

Star of the Show!!

" Sir Freckles of Ashebury" has been the star of the show at our house these past few days!!

Daisy likes her new little brother!!
There is nothing sweeter than a sleepy little puppy!!

What Have We Done?!?

We might have a little less in our stockings on Christmas morning this year!!

My "sweet hubby" & I pretty much lost our minds Friday evening!!

Daisy is ~sniffing~ out the newest member of our family!!
We are pleased to Introduce:

"Sir Freckles of Ashebury"

Freckles for short!

Boy, will I have some fun Blog shots to share now!!

Can you tell that I am pretty much over the whole bird drama thing!!

I'm afraid that this little guy is going to be a huge distraction to my list of holiday shores!! Yikes!!

Holiday Panic?!?!

Only 11 days until Christmas!!

I can't decide if I should shift into panic mode yet!?!

If it wasn't so cold outside, I think that I'd go out & sit on this chair & look at the Christmas lights!!
This little tree reminds me that I need to enjoy the "simple" things about the holiday!!

~~Pets Gone Wild~~

Doesn't Bert look GUILTY???

I think this is when they were planning the big attack!! Jaycee must have been the look~out guy!!
When I got home from work today, there were yellow feathers on the floor in the livingroom. The above 3 animals ( I am not calling them pets at the moment, I just need a little time.) were acting very guilty. One quick check of my bird cage confirmed my worst fear.......I am greiving the loss of one of my sweet canaries.....

This is one of my lifes bitter apples!!!:(

Winter Wonderland!!

The weather man wasn't joking when he said an ice storm was coming our way!!

I will stock up & be ready next time with flashlight in hand!!
This is a picture right down the street from my house.
It's pretty to look at, but hard on the trees & power lines!!

I just noticed that the date is wrong on my camera!!

These are some shots on my patio. Burr~ doesn't it look cold!!

We had freezing rain on & off for a few days!!

Those spots are rain drops!!The boys thought the best part was not having school for 2 days!!

We lost power a few times, but luckily it came back on.

There are still a lot of homes in our town that are still in the dark.

Best wishes to them!

It's beginning to feel a bit like Christmas!!

The weather outside is a bit frightful!!

Inside we are starting to feel like Christmas!!

Here is a pic of our dining room!!
You can't have too many touches of Christmas!!

Holiday Overload!!

Not only have I been on ~"holiday overload"~ but our electrical circuits were overloaded too!!

The other evening we were feeling pretty festive with all of our Christmas lights glowing inside & out.

My "sweet hubby" was on the lap top, when it went black!!!

We lost wireless internet connection for a few days.
We are up & running again!! Yippy~Skippy!!!

Beary Happy!!

This is a pic of my entry. My holiday bear used to have those little optical lights, but they quit working last year. I think he is still cute!!!

Christmas music makes me "beary happy"!!
Big Bear Hugs to all of my friends!!

Happy Monday!!

The Christmas season is busy with parties, cookie exchanges, programs, gift wraping & other fun holiday activities!! It's to bad that we still have to do laundry & dishes, fix meals, shop for everyday stuff & go to work.

We would all enjoy it more if we could just take the month of December off!!

"Christmasy" Kitchen!!

I love adding little touches of Christmas to each room in our house!! I usually get it just the way I want it about the time it's needing to come down!! Here are a few pics of the kitchen!!

My red toaster is ready for the holiday!!
Santa is watching from this blue chair!!

Ready ~ Set ~ Go!!

Just wanted to stop in & say the race is on!! I felt like I could just sit back & take it easy when the calendar still said November. Well, it is December baby!! I'ts time to kick it into overdrive!! Enjoy your day!!

It's beginning to look a little like Christmas!!
