Happy January

Here are the only snowmen at our house :)

But it is pretty cold here, for Texas.

I guess we will go to sunny, southern, CA and see what the weather is like there.

We will be thinking of all of you with "real" snow.

oh wait, I mean, Purtles. (hehe) When "The Purtle Page" posted pictures of her attic, I just had to post :) Actually, I have had this post in mind for a couple of days and her post was just the prompting that I needed. Her attic is much better than mine and I am not showing you my attic, but rather I'm sharing one of my 2012 goals.

Here are all of my Christmas decorations from this year. Neatly boxed up. The only things still out are my four small Christmas trees.

But...they are not going in my attic until I clean it out!

Yes, my attic has a door, but it is one of those small, half doors, where I have to bend down to get in and out of it. No shelves, no pegboard, no wrapping station... just a space with a partial floor and one light bulb, to stash stuff. And that is what usually happens- just stash stuff! So that means things have gotten mixed up, unorganized and there is stuff there that I don't really want any more.

This project may take awhile :) So my two extra bedrooms have become my

"sorting-reboxing-and-throwing-away-station". My goal for 2012 is to get my attic and my garage cleaned out, and my house (and my store) uncluttered. There...I said it...now you know and I can stick to it.

The moral of this story, is that if you want to come and stay at our house, you need to give me some advance notice, because I will need to clean off the bed and put things away, in order to have a place for you to stay. Don't worry Carrie, I will have this project finished by summer :)

And you will see, later on, that there really is "method to my madness".

Wasted some more time...

Here are some more cute, random ideas or thoughts.

My make-up is alot simpler than that :) but it's still a cute idea.

This one might be for Annie.

Let me know if you want the instructions- I'll send you the website.

This one is for everyone.

This one is for me.

Perfect Date Night ...

dinner at "What A Burger".

Ron- standard burger, with mustard, onions, large fries, large drink. Me- junior burger, with mayo, no onions, small fries, small drink.

Then...

Ron at his computer looking at email and also watching the Cotton Bowl game on TV.

Me at my computer... "wasted an hour on FB and blogs, then the rest of the evening on Pinterest :)

I got a cute craft idea.

I got inspiration :)

I got a cute gift idea.

I also got two recipes...one for snickerdoodle cupcakes and one for fresh strawberry, yogurt cake. And I got this great thought for all of my girls that have at least one son!

Here is My Attempt...

to keep up with Annie. She was posting faster today than I could keep up with :)

We had a fun Christmas with 4 of the grand kids. These pictures will give you some idea of what we have been doing all week. Last Friday afternoon when we were ready to head to Wylie, the only project left unfinished was my Christmas letter. It is still sitting on my desk. I'm not sure if it will get finished and sent or not. Ashley and Daniel and the kids are still trying to get back to Utah- hopefully tomorrow. (they are flying stand by- without much luck of getting seats so far. They came home with us on Wednesday, hoping to get on a flight yesterday) The only other casuality of our week, is the fact that Ron and I are both sick and trying not to pass it on to anyone else.

We only have 1 more day before it's back to work- not much chance of being well by Tuesday at this point :(
