Hello

Guess where I've been?  I'm not telling, but I may stay now and keep up with the blog.  Okay, you win, I'll tell.  I've been on a Calamity Holiday.  February is such a short month and just not enough time to enjoy a calamity that I wanted to see if I could squeeze one in.  I recovered and now I'm back to bidness.

I've been thinking of many ways to renew and rejuv my blog, but I probably won't.  Ha!  Glo and I did work on a puzzle when I was cocooning but the darn Cat kept helping so it took longer than necessary.  See what I mean? 

But Glo and I managed to finish it.  What a perfect winter night activity.  I haven't done a puzzel in YEARS.  NiNi was just bugged since we weren't paying her attention. She was thinking of all the petting she was missing out on. Spoiled Brat!

I know its odd to complain of the cold

when living in Florida but it has been Record Breaking Cold here and I'm loving it!  I get to make nice comfort foods like Pot Roast and Soups and Lima Beans with ham hocks.  I have a few more recipes to do so I hope the cold will stay for a while.  But I am losing my tan from November so I do need warmth to renew it all over again.  I can't wait to be able to lounge by the pool.  In the meantime, I'm loving this. 

Here's the finished product.

            

That one was a 300 piece.  Next on the burner is a 500 piece.  Gotta start slow or I'll run into another calamity and be gone for another month. 

Best Things to Love

I got to thinking about something new to add to this damn blog which is riding my back like a sucker-fish on the back of a whale.  Every day that I DON'T add to the blog I have some nagging crapola going on in my head telling me I'm a quitter and stuff.  I'm not a quitter but sometimes I need to get all the blue marbles together and all the green marbles in another section before I can think of something to blog.

After saying all that, now when I tell you what my new blog category is I bet you'll be out Whaling and let Greenpeace be dammed while you're pulling off sucker-fish.  Maybe that's too aggressive for February...

The Best Things to Like About JANUARY:

1. I survived the flu
2. I survived 2009
3. I survived January
4. I've got 12 whole months to come up with a survival plan

The Best Things to Like About FEBRUARY:

1. Its short
2. I love the Super Bowl commercials
3. Red is such a pretty color, ie. Valentines Day (I've been in the red for the past few years.  I know Red)
4. Lots of good appetizer recipes come out for Super Bowl.

There you go. 

I could have added some Bad things to not like about the months but that's just so 2009.  What's not to like about January and February?  I'm digging a hole here.  Gotta go.  Enjoy your month!
