So far the weather has been real good, it’s around -20 to -25 and sometimes worse, but at least we had such an awesome October and early November. I think the knowledge that we had that extra time of niceness is making the temps now seem “OK”.

I’m enjoying the boys pretty red cheeks when they come in from playing, no need to worry about rosacea treatment, it’s just the wind and cold. I have three rather large and odd looking Snowmen living in my back yard, and we have only had one “big” snow fall, so the shoveling hasn’t been difficult. Much.

So far, Winter has been kind of OK. It’s nearly December, and I love that, Then comes January, with the new year and Micah’s Birthday. February is still bitterly cold but holds with it the promise that march is right behind it and March is the month of magic when it starts to warm up

So far, Winter hasn’t driven me insane….but there is still time!

Look at me all old and junk LOL. Actually, i am only 31 but my dogs are BARKING so bad right now, and without cause, I might add!

I can’t stand the burny feeling my feet get after a full day, thank goodness for wood floors to rest my feet on, I love the coolness

We are planning on getting wood in the bedrooms soon too – right now we have carpet and shoddy carpet at that!

It won’t be for a while, there are three rooms to do and I would like to do all three at the same time to ensure the wood matches -I already know it won’t match the hall and living room and am OK with that! it’s won’t be super expensive, but it will cost a fair amount, so while I wait I can check out themd clear reviews and try to deal with the ick popping up on my face!

LOL. At least today is Wednesday and not Friday, cus I am sitting at home, with a cold wash cloth on my feet, checking out review sites bitching about my aches and pains! I may not be old, but I sure am boring LOL

OMG! OMG! OMG! It’s only 31 more days until christmas!

This is our tree from 2009. We put our tree up on the first Saturday of December and always has been, and always will be a family activity – At least, untill the boys move out

Micah and I have been doing artificial christmas trees since we started living together in ’97. The first year it was becuase we had a fake tree given to us and could not afford a real one, and after that it was simply the mess of a real tree – we wanted to avoid that mess at ALL costs.

Also, my BFF is allergic to pine, so I’m not going to have something that can kill her in my home. Period.

I love my fake tree. it is assembled in minutes and easy to store. We love it!

I can’t wait, just ten more days!
