Day 131: Sat Dec 21st - HOLY ICICLE

Day One Hundred Thirty-one: 
HOLY ICICLE!!
 
Another mushy road run, but it was lightly snowing and peaceful.
I took some panoramic shots, but I didn't save them correctly.
Came back then shoveled and salted my property complex. 
Now I'm defrosting and sipping coffee thinking of all the Christmas shopping we still have left to do.
 
"It's the most wonderful time of the year...."

Day 124: Sat Dec 14th A Sweet Day

Day One Hundred Twenty-four: A Sweet Day

yuck.

Air quality is extremely poor. Run was good, though I think that the air is the reason the back of my throat is irritated.  Afterwards took Siena for her annual Christmas shopping w/Mama day. We first stopped at Starbucks to use the gift card I won at my work meeting / craft day yesterday.  Siena tried her first Gouda cheese, bacon and egg Starbucks breakfast sandwich. To say she loved it is an understatement. After a strong cup of Christmas brew black coffee we headed back to our favorite bakery and indulged in some yummy treats. Of course we didn't eat them all, just couldn't decide - hence the diverse selection.  Found ourselves lost in time at the neatest little antique / vintage shop with excellent prices called Needful Things. We had so much fun exploring the shop and came away with several fun necklaces, bracelets for Izzy, vintage colorful glass candy bowl and glasses that I love and other treasures. It was a fun day!

Day 119: Mon Dec 9th - a letter to my Fairy Godmother

Day One Hundred-nineteen: 
 a short letter to my Fairy Godmother & fun day with Izzy

Dear Fairy Godmother, 
If you could help me out a bit, I would very much appreciate it.
Please sprinkle me with magic calming dust to help through life chaos, 
 and this dang bitter weather.
Also, if you wouldn't mind, could you turn one of my problems into a treadmill.
Nothing fancy, just something that will help
me avoid some morning runs in the frost biting cold.  
My nose and toes will thank you. 
xoxo

     
Winter is beautiful.
 


Izzy and I kicked off our annual Christmas shopping w/ mama day
 with a healthy nutritious breakfast from our favorite bakery - yum!!
