Just sayin'


This week has flown by like the windy days we've had lately. Today is gray and misty rain outside.
Thankfully, I'm on the down side of the flu-bug and have my to-do list in hand for the weekend.
Abbie is spoiled as usual and is the queen of the sofa and is actually in the process of training right now for a greater purpose.
Computers are down, one in the shop, one slow so by Monday I will have a better connection speed to get some REAL pictures on the blog.
But the pause this week has taught me to slow down. Take care of my physical health and appreciate the simple things in life even more.

Hot chocolate was my best friend this past week, along with tissue boxes and Lifetime movies. ;)

Last night I reached to start back on a sampler and realized my computer that's in the shop has the pattern on it so I put a few stitches in one by The Sampler Girl I started a couple of months ago and worked on the border of it while watching a wonderful movie, The Christmas Box. I've seen that movie at least 7 times but I dearly love it! If there's one thing I've definitely enjoyed these past few weeks is going to Dish and watching the best movies and old TV shows again.

Thank you again,dear readers, for all your prayers. I definitely appreciate them and feel that 2012 is going to be the best and much brighter, I just know it!! I can feel it in my fiber!

Until I can post some pics for you xxxxx fingers, not too much later, I hope you enjoy your Friday and settle in with a hot cup of cocoa and a crackling fireplace or whatever makes you happy!

Stay safe and warm always,
Jennifer

  4. Jennifer: I do hope you are feeling better soon, I love old time movies when I was growing up going to the movies was just so romantic nowadays going to the movies is a big production with the long drive to whatever theater we can find.
    I would rather watch the old timers, Abbie take care of Mom keep her warm and cuddle lots.
    Merry Christmas

  6. I think we all need that kind of a break from time to time - the one that makes you say to yourself "Slow down! You're moving too fast!!" I strongly believe it's the technology we have today that causes us to move too fast. I'm still in disbelief that the year is almost over! It truly did move too fast. I agree that 2012 is going to hold many GREAT things for you and others who found 2011 less to their liking.

    Sending you some warm hugs from Central Florida - and Miss Abbie too!

  7. Dearest Jennifer,

    Wow, you're beating me on the flu bug. Got it a second time and nasty! Thanks for your visit and comment on the sentimental cross stitching.
    Love to you and yes, hot chocolate from real Dutch cocoa is our life saver too.
