So It GOES...

Life has a curious way of getting away from me. One minute I turn and look and I have plenty of time until Christmas, the  next minute I turn around it is the end of January... Christmas and New Years are long gone, I'm in a new job, with new shoes, and a new need for a vacation.  Speaking of NEW Rick returned home from a weekend with the boys with what I will now refer to as "cheveron -Tom". That is if I combine the above Stache posters.  He says he looks like Mario...I say it's simply not his best look. I prefer the full stuble - and I say stuble because it's sexier than a full beard.  Any way I am definitly not focused on the task at hand which should be Year End Reviews. Instead I thought I would right a short little note saying I wil re dedicate myself to posting once a week. Also promising to include my own photography in half of those posts!  Hugs and Kisses and heres hoping this week is a bit slower for not only me but you too!!

Tis the season to have HIVES...

 So it seams I am ending this year the same way I started it...with Hives! What a sad day!  Turns out I am in fact allegic to something...scented lotions.  My skin hates it, especially in the winter.  This past Saturday I ran out of Aveeno lotion and decided to lather on the nice scent of Vanilla Bean Noel from Bath and Body works to moisturize.  However sadly after almost a full 24 hours I started to itch and noticed I had Hives all over my body...even my nack and face are breaking out.  Last year they lasted 3 weeks.  I really hope I can kick them sooner this time.  It will take all my strength not to focus on the itch.

Dreaming in Christmas

I should be sketching bodies for Back 2 School 2011....I have however had a long day and I just can't do anymore creative thinking. But I do have time to dream a little about Christmas and how I wish I had a tree to look at when I get home tonight.  Rick and I have been putting way too much on our to do list that we still have not decorated for the season...I mean we bought a beautiful fresh wreath but still no lights and no tree.  Is it worth it if we put it up this weekend and are not home for Christmas?  Is it worth it just to watch the lights glow?  I promise I would leave it up until the new year...

BLACK Toes

As you all know winter is here.  And it has been snowing a lot lately in Minnesota.  You would think I would have a pair of quality winter boots. Especially since I have lived in the midwest from birth. However as my dad likes to put it I choose fashion over function.  At 28 I think I need to move closer to function. Not sure how closely I will let myself go but I can't keep choosing fashion.  I took Bacon to the dog park the other day and wore my semi fashionable winter boots. After arriving home cold about 2 hours later I noticed I had black toes.. Mind you I was wearing socks.. The Black from the die on my boots bled through onto my feet. I think its time to grow up and buy for function! 

o.k. Lets at least compromise...Sorel Caribou Boots @ J. Crew and other stores near you.

Subtle Hints #2

1. Perfect Round Doggie Frame to Put Bacon's Picture in. 2. A girl can never have too many Aprons 3. Cozy Slippers to wear in the house 4. Velour Trimmed Robe I could live in this.

Pray Often

The Lord Listens and I beleive he answers our prayers in his perfect timing.  Please pray with me for my mother in law Deb. Pray for courage and peace as she embarks on a very scary surgery.  I Love you Deb and I know you will make it through this a stronger woman.
