a happy new year to all, full of health happiness and prosperity!
the holidays were nice, first ones in the new home so i tried to do things a little differently, baked my fool head off, about 10 dozen cookies and a dozen pans of brownies for family, friends and neighbors. i was keeping things low key on purpose this year, wanting to concentrate more on family. i got a lovely little cinnamon pine cone "tree" from the oldest, the mentally challenged kid, they stuck the stem end in a dollop of plaster and hot glued beads to the "branches" for those of you who have littles you'd like to do similar craft type stuff with. it's cute and smells great! the boys said this christmas was the best one we'd had in awhile, that made me feel pretty good about it all. we went back home for the family gathering type stuff and even got to spend some time with old friends, which leads me to the newest love in my life, lol. he's an 11 week old akc chihuahua, an adorable little man we've named teddybear. he looks like a little black bear, his pic is in my profile. he's just adorable! i wish i'd had the camera handy a few minutes ago, i would have caught him sleeping in my slipper. my friend breeds the dogs and this was one from her last litter she hadn't found a home for. i have a fantastic son who made arrangements to trade moving help for the fee for the puppy for my christmas gift. he's such a good kid! i raised one of them right, lol!
new years was marked with the oldest, the other two were at a friend's home. it was quiet and relaxed, i made our traditional meal and then the next day i made the usual ham and homemade potato salad. it's nice to have such a big kitchen to work in. i've been busy doing the annual de-clutter since the evening of the first, another tradition, lol. some people do spring cleaning, i do new year cleaning. i'll be purging through the end of the month, closets, cabinets, files, you name it. i can't believe how much crap still made the move six months ago after i thought i'd gone through it all! i'll tackle the shed in the spring. we're starting to plan our projects for new paint and decorating starting with the front bedroom and working our way back to my room eventually. the youngest has his eye on an oriental theme for his room.
on a personal note, not dating, not looking really don't give a damn anymore. i'd like to find someone, but i have yet to even chat casually with anyone who makes an impression. friendly enough folks are out there to bs with, but relationship caliber has yet to crawl out of the woodwork. no big deal, as long as i have b.o.b. i'm good, lol!
all the best to you all, i hope this is a better year for everyone!
