A good time was had by all...







The leftovers are almost gone.
The trees are up.
The Christmas music is playing.
Love this time of year.
We even got snow yesterday.
Sledding. And hot cocoa. And mittens drying.
The kids are back in school and I've got oodles of laundry to do.
But it's all good.
It's Christmastime...

    I see from the picture that you had the requisite green jello salad. That reminds me so much of Grandma Young and all those thanksgivings growing up. We didn't have any green jello at our Thanksgiving :(. However, our friends have beets for Thanksgiving, not because anyone really enjoys them, but his mom, who recently passed away, used to always serve beets at Thanksgiving.
    That must be how traditions get started, eh?

    What gorgeous pictures, Cath. It looks like you had a wonderful time with your family. And snow?? C'MON! Could it be any more perfect? I think I'll put the tree up tomorrow... I'm finally getting the Christmas spirit. Did you get the laundry spirit you needed?

    I love decorations and music this time of year...I hate the shopping, though.
    Your photos are lovely. You are so good at pictures...

    So why were you taking a picture instead of praying? :-)

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
