Rambling Wednesday

Remember my new goals? Balance, Organization and Discipline. I must admit that breathing through both nostrils has been my goal for the last couple weeks. My need for oxygen trumped all that other hoo haw. I think I'm ready to get back on track. I know I'm feeling better.

Today, as my breathing improves, that inspirational book, The House that Cleans Itself arrived in the mail. Did you know that the author has a blog with hints? Go here to check it out.

I was pulling out of the drive when I checked the mail and saw the package. And then, I saw my gates. Oh, dear. Poinsettias, wreaths, garland and berries. I need to get after that, don't I? And the nativity too, of course.






My computer is funky today. Pictures are aligning right. Text is weird. Huh. A large thanks to all of you who sent kind words/thoughts and prayers to Jan and Tracy (from my last post). And Mom and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch with Theresa yesterday. Thanks for the good company, my friend. For the record, my mojo is so off with this weird alignment/text issue.



Kathie and I are considering going to Round Top/Warrenton for the spring show. We'll stay 2, 3 or 4 days. Any suggestions/recommendations for good, economical lodging? We looked at the Willow Nest, but some lucky folks have already booked it when we'd like to go. We wouldn't mind pitching a tent, but Kathie just said no to public showers. She's such a girly girl! Bring on the suggestions or offers to stay with you free. We're not proud.

Happy Wednesday!

  1. It may not be your computer. I couldn't get my signature to go to the bottom of my blog today. It kept aligning to the right of the pictures no matter how many page breaks I put between the last picture and my signature. Weird. Finally I just gave up and went without signature.

    You never really appreciate air until you can't get any! :-)

  2. I like your nativity sillowetti (thats how FringeMan and I say it).

    You're just extending the Holiday Cheer OR maybe you're just way ahead of the rest of us and getting a jump on next year. ;-)

  5. Breathing trumps BOD everytime. Take care of yourself first, it'll still be there when you feel better. Tn'T

  6. Re member the song "Breathe"? Sorry, I know that doesn't help. Hope you are better. It has been so cold here in TN. We are not used to this much cold without a break. We are ready to breathe too. Nice of you to suggest sending blog notes to the others with problems. I will have to visit them.

  10. You aren't the only one still decorating for Christmas...my tree is still up! I need to take that down or maybe I'll add hearts to it for Valentine's...

    Have a nice day!

  11. Mindy, you know I offered you let you stay with me in the casita, but I totally understand your friends dilemma. It's a real challenge for me too. I do love the shows enough to rough it for the week though!
