After Christmas

Geez, three weeks since I posted. What a bum!

I had a great Christmas because I was able to actually give gifts again this year. Not to many handmade of course! I did give one of my sisters the CUTEST needlepointed ornament that looks just like her car. Here it is...

This one was really hard to give away because it was so darling! I don't have a Mini Cooper but it was just so cute hanging on my tree. Oh well. Maybe in my next life. :-)

Also I received Sirirus XM radio which is the best thing for long distance drivers. I discovered this little gem on my way to PA at Thanksgiving in the rental car. I always thought people who paid for radio must be nuts. Now I know why they do. There's something about choosing your own music via their 3 gazillion stations and not having to listen to all those ads. I know, I should LOVE ads, right? I'm in sales, right? Well I don't. But I DO love listening to MY version of the golden oldies which is the 70's and 80's. Hysterical, isn't it? Sometimes, I switch to the 60's just to see how many of those I know. I suppose eventually I'll try more of the stations which I was doing on Christmas Day but for now, it's nice to be rocking to the oldies. While I clean my office. YIKES!

Honestly, what do you think I do when I take a week off? Go on a moonlit cruise? Shop til' I drop? No, I get ready for tax time and do inventory. I try to clean my office - I swear I'm doing it! My office also doubles as storage which is just BAD! I keep throwing out tons of of old papers and files and wonder why I kept things like all those newsletters from guilds I received 5 years ago. I keep finding things that belong at home (just so you know, when I'm at home cleaning, I keep finding things that belong at work). Then I find all those projects that I was going to start or teach or stitch for somebody. And that is like the opposite of making resolutions. I guess year end is a good time to do it.

Okay, off I go!
