Cuddling Season

Hello My Darlings,

I hope you are good this day. Not sure how the weather is for you but here in the Borealis forest the trees are stripping fast, hardly saw any colors, winds are getting chillier and even my dogs are getting thicker coats, not sure about the hair ball.

I will have to stock up on my wild bird seed for the winter another item for my To-do list, notice that? I also have to stock up on some Halloween candy quickly and some sort of costume to greet the kids at the door. My one son wants to dress as a nurse and the other one is too busy laughing. I think a fancy chef hat and mustachio of some sort will work just fine for him rather than try to make a M&M costume.

I perused through some Youtube videos to learn how to make this, that, and the other thing. Whipping up some sort of halloween costume shouldn't be too hard. Still not sure I want to style my hair into some sort of huge, fluffy, poofy ball. Will I have knots and tangles I won't be able to get out? I really don't want to terrify the children that come to the door either.

I don't even have any halloween decorations up yet! usually I have spiders (ewww!) ghosts, black cats and pumpkins around. One year the ghosts and spiders were hanging too close to the door and they would get tangled up around people at the door. A sight indeed, really. Another addition to my to-do list.

Doesn't it seem as if one holiday comes right up after another? About a week after my bithday I will hang Christmas decorations. One set of decorations come down and another set of holiday decorations goes up. I enjoy the smiles from the kids even my overgrown boys. It's not the work that makes holidays so special but the people involved and the give and take. It's a special moment that should be enjoyed, don't you think? not to mention that I really do enjoy the decorating. :)

I absolutely love that move, Bringing Down the House and that dance scene with Steve Martin all dressed hip hop? just awesome. I should learn how to do some hip hop moves and not just basic dance steps. Maybe you and I will get the chance to dance together irregardless if you have two left feet. Dancing is a awesome cardiovascular work out for the body too.

Well, I know you can not stay long as duty calls. I found this and hopefully will leave a chuckle ---> Why was the energizer bunny arrested? He was charged with battery. I hope you take great care and please stay safe.

XOXOXO

Winter Prep

Hello My Darlings,

I hope you are safe and well. I still have yet to finish my list of items for winter which seems to be hovering over the horizon. I even got a doghouse for my little, four legged, nervous, nitty of a dog. He looks like a miniature, German Shepherd dog with his coloring and is quite funny how he blends right into the surrounding shrubbery. It's hard to tell if he is there or not. Natural coat of camouflage is what my boys tell me.

The doghouse is a little too big but it even has insulation on the interior. I hope he doesn't chew it off. Once the snow levels start rising I can bury the sides and he should have quite the comfortable little doghouse for the duration of the winter season. I am quite pleased with this. Now, if only I could get him to stop chewing his dogbed. Oh yes, will have another question to ask Cesar Milan of the Dog Whisperer television show, for sure.

I have so many things getting added to my To-Do list with Halloween coming up fast upon us, a couple of birthdays, winter gear and Christmas shopping! I hope that I will slowly make this list shorter rather than longer. At least I'm keeping everything organized and is just a matter of managing my funds and time appropriately. Joys of a single parent huh?

I have browsed through a few recipes and added them to my own little private collection of recipes. I burned another pizza again and people were laughing and teasing me, yet once again, about keeping the fire department on stand-by. That would be quite the picture, having a few firemen standing around waiting to put a cooking fire out just outside my front door. I really should pick up a timer.

I enjoy browsing vintage fashion sites and the clothes. Some are so beautiful while others, well, they look like potato sacks. I will have to look into sewing patterns for vintage fashions. I would like to try to mix and match various fashion styles to see what I come up with. I just added something else to my To-do list now, haven't I?

I know time is limited for you as you have other duties to tend do and will sign off for now. I hope that you take great care and caution. I will leave this little tidbit and hope you chuckle through the day and have fun passing it on ;

Knock, knock
Who’s there?
Madam
Madam who?
Madam foot is caught in the door.

Take care my friends and please stay safe. :)
