Good Monday Morning... I mean, Afta-Noon

Good Monday Morning...

Or should I say, Good Monday Aftanoon.

I am off today because it is President's day!

Happy President's day!

Okay, there's not much enthusiam in that.

Ifeel like we should be outside grilling some meat or something, lol...

I am sitting here with a slight cold. I am NOT happy about that. I made some interesting ginger lemon lime sorbet yesterday, and that killed the sore throat straight out, but now I'm all mucousy up in the head. Hard sigh.

It would be best to take a day off tomorrow if this don't clear up, but I think I will go in. No telling WHAT I'm going back to at work. All kinds of problems to keep me busy. So that is the deal. Not happy about it, but it is what it is.

I enjoyed my vacation. Wasn't all that impressed with the hotel, but the Dominican beaches are insane! That was the best part. I have a load of pictures, just got to sort through them. We didn't care for the hotel or the food that much. I've learned that it is geared more towards European style and tastes, and uh... I ain't European...

Now on Friday afternoon, we had a little snow. I wanted to post these pictures, but I couldn't find my camera.





Those were the early pics, when it first started snowing. I'd just arrived home from doing a little grocery shopping, and I was out checking the mail.

I tried to coax Oscar-Tyrone into coming outside.



He was uh... I don't know... not all that interested. He retreated back into the warmth of the house.

Later that day, before dusk, I took more pics.

Notice that I didn't go outside... I just stuck my arm out the front door and snapped a few pictures. I don't like snow, and haven't built a snow man since I was a kid. No need to do that now! LOL

It was all very... interesting.

Today is a lazy day. I have some reading to do, and I MUST get started on my crochet projects.

Here's a pic of the blanket I completed on February 1st...


I'm suprised I didn't get a better pic of it. Hmm. I have to do better next time. It wasn't even finished when I took this picture. I think I was just trying out my new camera.

That was for one of my favorite lurkers, Ms.Blackliterature.com (Sherri). I finished it the day before she had the baby. She put up a status on FB saying something to the order of "I am at the hospital. I am having a baby."

LOL! That was hilarious. Ya'll tweeting and facebooking during some crazy times. LOL.

I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes and gifts. I'll be posting up some of those gifts soon...

You made the big 4-0 extra, extra special. You truly did.

And no, I won't be posting everyday. HECK NO. Sherri suggested I continue the food for thought posts. Uh, no way, gal. I will do those periodically. Serenity is in charge of the food for thoughts. Talk to her about it! LOL.

So, I hope you all have a great week... On purpose.
