Good 2nd week

EDITED****PICS ADDED
My second week post surgery is done. Truthfully I can't believe I made it all 5 days at work. I had lots of help and pampering so it was a pretty good week. Now next week I need to kick it in gear and get more accomplished, but I am pleased with how much I did get done
Friday was my follow-up with the ortho surgeon. X-rays look good, well to him to me it looks like a jumble of wires and screws from this surgery and the last knee surgery. Cast was replaced and I have a beautiful purple cast. Sadera will love it as purple is her favorite color. 3 more weeks in this cast and then the magical day of Feb 15 cast off and into a brace. Yahoo freedom from the bulky cast. Thanks to my SO I have new warm socks and have been totally taken care of at work with a reclining chair and the use of his laptop. TJ and Jenn have helped beyond belief so I am so counting my blessings
Colleen has been at my beck and call hauling me to classes, feeding me and keeping my spirits up,Mom, Da, and my sister keep tabs on me via phone and Kim's emails and Aliya stories keep me laughing. So to all of you a big big thanks

Last Sat the 19th Colleen hauled me to Melrose and we took a fun class with Candice Carpenter. It was good to be out and visiting.
Wed nite poor Colleen hauled me to Jan's for a Stampin up class again fun fun and good to get out

Finished my tags with slight difficulty and got them sent to Heather for a Valentine Tag swap. I can't wait to get the tag book back

Today is class at Devine Memories with Beth Quinn. Another class I am looking forward to and then of course a Starbucks. Poor Colleen is hauling me there too. I am so thankful she is willing to haul me around and get me out for fresh air

The Stockings Were Hung

I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
