Over for another year

So the holidays are winding to a close and really, I'm not that unhappy about it. Everything has been taken down and finished putting the living room back together. I'm kind of glad its over for another year.

Had a good Christmas, quiet New Years babysitting so the kids could go out. The older I get the less I want to go out and the more attractive it is to be warm and snug at home!

I changed the living room around. I've been told with the parquet floors and my obsession with open space that it resembles a basket ball court lol Anyway...so when we had people over we ended up pulling the love seat closer to make it cozier and so I decided to try it in what is supposed to be the actual living room which is freakishly small for being a condo. I was surprised it worked out as good as it did and makes it snug without me having to walk sideways to get through! My friend will be impressed I'm sure lol

Also, I finally hung the picture Char gave me and now she can let Mr Man know its got a good home! Now I'm looking at the opposite wall thinking whats up there just doesn't fit in. So I need to be on the look out for another pic similar to what was given. J helped me put the room back together this afternoon and as always I was driving her nuts about every little thing being perfectly placed! At least this time she just laughed at me about it.

One more full day of vacation and it's back to the grind. This is probably when nice balmy days seem so very far away. I couldn't live where there are no changing seasons but by mid January it feels like its been winter forever! Bring on the warmer weather! Nice thing too, in February, in Ontario, we get 3 day weekend. It's called Family Day and last year we went sledding and had homemade lasagna. The whole family together. What a good idea it was! If January is bad, mid February is way worse cos by then winter actually has been forever!! Takes away some of the winter blahs and having to wait til the end of March or early April for the Easter break.

Okay, well that's it for me , now I must go to Pogo and play Scrabble as I am addicted!!!

Hope everyone had a nice holiday!
