This is a pic of the snowshoe decoration I made. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. Not that I’m bragging, well, maybe just a tad. LOL!!! Most people would not be able to do this because of the high cost of snowshoes but we have all kinds because we use them at maple time to get around the woods and they eventually wear out. I have another pair and I am thinking I might do single ones up for my mom and Michael’s mom. We’ll see how my time goes because they take quite awhile to do. I took pics of some of the other decorations I have done for outdoors and I will post them throughout the week. I still have some to make for under the 4 windows. Then it’s Michael’s turn to put up the huge wreathe and the lights on the front tree. I don’t start the inside until Dec. First. Well, I finally got all the cards ready to go, just need to go to the post office. That will not be cheap. I ended up with 43 cards!!! Anyway, another thing off my list. Yeah!!I am happy to say that physically I feel good or at least okay. But mentally the last two nights have been hellish. I am just like an old bear. Don’t even look at me the wrong way!!! Last night I could not settle my brain down so I was up til after one a.m. on the computer. I hope this is not a harbinger of things to come!!! Oh, please, no!!! Okay, think positive... probably just a result of the illness and being tired and having the holidays coming. Gotta rein myself in.Was suppose to have coffee with my girlfriend this morning at 10:30 at the local coffee joint and then go to a friend’s place that is having a jewellery show. It’s my friend Monica ( my nail gal) who is having the show. It works like tupperware but it’s jewellery. We were going to go around 11:30 browse and possibly order. It was also a chance for my friend to see Monica as they have not seen each other in over a year. Then I would drop her off at home and go to my 1:00 hair appointment. Well, that got all shot to pieces. She called this a.m. and cancelled, saying something personal had come up and she would explain later. I really should not have been surprised because she is one of those people that cancel plans a lot!! I know she is depressed/bi polar but sometimes I just get a little pissed. I know that’s not fair because I do it on occasion but I don’t do it 80% of the time or better. Just being selfish and feeling sorry for myself. I’ll get over it!!We are going to be hunkering down in front of the fire tonight and tomorrow if the weather report is right. We are going to get 4 to 8 inches of snow tonight and another 6 to 10 tomorrow and they say that we will have high winds up to 40 miles with temps at -4 tonight.Well, I ‘ll close for now with a quote.."
