Gone again
Well, Christmas has come and gone and I’m back to work. Everyone is asking about my Christmas and how it was. My answer. Different. Good….but different. It’s hard to explain. Don’t get me wrong I really loved getting to spend the holidays with J and to lounge on the couch for days on end eating the candy & chocolates I got for Christmas and watching movies. And maybe enjoying an alcoholic drink every now and then. I got lots of amazing presents from here, afar, and from J (he did really good picking presents) and we had an amazing turkey dinner with lots of home baking but it was different.…

Baking…Christmas Baking
I’m going to be baking today and that excites me. I don’t know what exactly I’m going to make and what I’m going to do with it all, but I have to. It’s what I do.

Busy weekend.
A weekend full of Christmas parties and snow. My party was Friday and John’s was Saturday. Mine was sans the spouse but his included me. Funny thing. Both were catered by the same company so my meals were very similar. Although, I liked John’s better I do believe because he had Chicken cordon bleu and ours didn’t. But both were amazing. You can’t beat not having to cook and get something “homecooked”. Another funny thing. I was drawn first for the raffle prizes at work. I had lots to choose from but ended up choosing an Avon Santa decoration. It’s beautiful and I love it. It’s all white and kind…
