Happy New Year

Friday morning I got up feeling refreshed and ready to greet the day

of course when you were in bed by midnight on 

New Years Eve ~ that can happen

we had some big plans ~ fondue next door

and then some games

maybe some bubbly and noise makers

and home not too late

when I got home from work ~ hubby was in bed

sick as a dog

I know he did not feel up to going out at all

but you cannot cancel at 6pm on New Years Eve

so a trooper he was

we went over for dinner and home just after 10

cold medication ~ check

and I tucked him into bed ~ Happy New Year baby

I did make dessert which was the Tolberone chocolate fondue

and although I have not had it in years ~ it was better than I remembered

and with a shot of Kahlua in it made it all the better

so Friday I puttered ~ put the gifts away from under the tree

hung the new calenders

drank coffee ~ then switched to tea

collected things ~ organized things

napped ~ read

then my Mom, brother and his girlfriend arrived with supper

for as far back as I can remember ~ we have always had Chinese food

on or around New Years Day

so we pigged out ~ chatted some more

changed into my jammies and snuggled on the couch 

hubby was feeling a little better after spending the day in bed

Saturday was my work day

it was banish Christmas from the house

and why it is not as joyful as putting it out??

I spent 4 hours boxing and packing and that did not include

the tree ornaments

it is all gone now and although everything is not back where it goes

that is something I can work on this week

~*~*~*~*~*~

So I decided that I am not picking a word

but I am setting some goals

I commented on a post tonight

that with age comes wisdom

there are certain things I will no longer put up with

I am too old for drama in my life

I have to distance myself from some people

and embrace others

speak my mind

and filter when necessary

and always remember to sing along

and stop and bust a move if the feeling comes over you.
