I got to take a little break from cleaning tonight to have a little tea party with my sister who I don't get to see very often because we are both very busy people. We had a pot of tea in the good china cups and chocolate biscuits. It was nice to sit and be quiet for a while and talk without husbands and kids and phones ringing.  It was perfect.

I realized it has been a while since I posted a picture of one of our Buddha's so tonight for your viewing pleasure I bring you Big Blue!  He is covered in soft blue velvet/valor. If Elvis had a Buddha in his house it would be this one. Oh yeah I love him and his big fuzzy ears. I love him big time.

I also love his big blue nipples!

Day 115 of 365

Gil bought me a really cool light diffuser for Christmas and I got to play with it today. What a big difference!

 

I didn't edit these pictures at all the first was taken with my normal flash and the second with the puffer on.

I love it. What do you think?!

Day 114 or 365 Christmas!

Merry Christmas one and all!!

From us to you!

113 .. Christmas Eve

Carrots are festive right?

110 .... the dentist stole my soul.

I am not taking a picture today, my mouth hurts and I am cranky so you will have to suffer with a picture from yesterday.

Had to take a picture before bed! Looking around and the only thing I could find was Max!

"I'LL EAT YOU UP!"

108 or 365

Very busy day today because it was Gilly's birthday. We sat in the living room with the tree lights on enjoying the view this evening. That is where this picture came from.

This was an almost perfect Saturday night. Pizza (roasted garlic and sun dried tomato), geeking (Arkham Horror) and good friends. I love it!

AWESOME!

Day 106 of 365

We were at Gil's office Christmas party tonight and we had a very fun time. Lots of opportunity for picture taking which was very fun. The food was good, the company mostly delightful and the vodka and cranberry juice went down easy. Thank goodness I was not the poor girl from the party in the next room who drank so much she spent most of the night in the ladies room worshiping the porcine gods. At least she MADE it to the washroom, someone else worshiped the carpet ... it was awful.
Anyway enough about that lovely topic... one of the fun things we do every year is pulling the Christmas crackers. I love that tradition, I love the silly paper hats and the bad jokes...
I even love the awful gits. I love them.

Finally taking some time to learn some stuff about my camera. So today I started with playing with the manual focus. This was my best shot of the bunch.

Cookies in bed!

I said if you were good I would give you more crows so here you are ... Christmas Crows!

I just love them!

Day 101 of 365

I think that the house is finally all decorated! It looks so beautiful. I am so happy that I decided to just go ahead with it and that I did not tear down the tree when the animals were driving me crazy. It looks so pretty. I love the red and gold it looks so classy...

but I also love the touches of whimsy that make it all ours.

This is Todd, he is a crow. We bought him and his big brother Quoth a few years ago as Halloween decorations but they became full time decorations because they are just so cute. Since then we have incorporated several other crows into our Christmas festivites.

If you you are nice I will share them with you this week.

Day 100 ... oh my GOD 100 days!!!

Tonight we got to go to the social event of the year Dan Christmas Party... 

or as we like to call it "The Gay Soirée"  

Dan actually MADE this punch fountain. How cool is he?!

99!!! WOO!

The house is really getting ready for Christmas. I love decorations so much, not so much the getting them up but once they are out and lit up I could just sit and watch them all night. <3

So Pretty!

This is Mister Bear. 

He is hella awesome.

He stands on my stairs and protects me from bad guys. 

He will beat intruders with he Christmas tree of greater bludgeoning +5.

Day 97.... eaten by the blues....

Okay I confess I came home from work and I landed in bed where I have been ever since. Not a great day. I'll try again tomorrow.

Day 96

Another day of getting ready for Santa's arrival. I made him cookies!

I hope he reads my blog!

Day 95

Tonight I started to decorate the Christmas tree which I love. I hate getting it up, I hate putting on the lights but I love making it beautiful. I love picking the right spot for the right ornament. I do it all by myself and I enjoy it that way, in the quiet, by the light of the tree, taking my time. I enjoy looking at each ornament and remembering where it came from. I love sitting back in the end and enjoying my creation, my piece of Christmas art.

Day 94 of 365

Today Aimee and I went for a little drive around the area where her parents live which is so beautiful I almost never put the camera down. Other then that I spent the day being totally lazy. Sorry folks. :)

Day 93 and maybe a bit drunk.....

Okay I thought I better do this before I am too drunk to work the laptop. Aimee and busted out the old IQ2000 game tonight, it was made in 1984 and the questions were seriously funny and/or stupid and/or racist. However I got stuck on Uranus for a good long time (Language arts) and needless to say the jokes got pretty raunchy I was laughing so hard I could NOT walk down the stairs from the bathroom I had to come down on my bum like a 3 year old. What a fun time!

Don't worry I got out of Uranus eventually!

Day 92 of 365

I am babysitting, watching TV and hanging with my baby. It is quiet now but two hours ago is as full on crazy town here, no one can party like a three year old! Please take no notice of the toddler gnawing on the fork.

Day 91 and time to change things up a bit

I usually set out to take a pretty picture or a technically good picture to share with you. I did take several pictures of some Christmas decorations at work but when I was flipping through it was this picture that grabbed my attention. This is my desk. I spend 8 hours a day here. I am the Queen of this tiny domain and this little kind of crappy picture shows it exactly as I live in it. The thing is, and I am not sure why, I am really attached to my veal feeding pen. I love my window. I like my chair. I like the pictures I have hung on the wall. Despite the fact that I share the office with other, this little patch is all mine. I don't have to share it with anyone. I can kick people out. It is the only spot I have like that. Do you have a spot where you reign supreme?

Day 90!!

I woke up the other day and I just felt like I needed something to change, I didn't like the way I looked and I didn't like the way I felt so I called my friend David who is also my trusted hair dresser and told him I needed a change. He, as always, was up to the challenge so tonight he came and he did the deed. He is a good man.

Do I look like a grown up?
