I Love Friday.

Friday. Or Fried-day. The day when my brain is completely fried and my body is tired and I can't see straight and I crave all things chocolate. The day that I know will be followed by a SATURDAY sleep-in.
Today we walked to the movie store in our effort to save the environment. All the way there, the kids were congratulating themselves on just how "green" they were, how much pollution they didn't put into the air, etc. All I was thinking was that it would be so much faster just to drive there. Fried-day.
The kids got up this morning and sauntered downstairs, quite late, only to see that their crazy mother was in a rather sour mood due to the time. After experiencing mother's rants about how they were going to be late for school, Abby declared, "Wow. She's gonna need A LOT of hugs today." So true. Fried-day.
My lovely friend came over to chat with me and have lunch this afternoon. I love my lovely friend. She puts up with the fried-ness and makes me laugh. We drink our herbal tea and discuss pretty much anything/everything. If we ruled the world... LOOK OUT. Fantastic Fried-day.
Now I shall go and make dinner. Perhaps in honour of this day I shall FRY something.

New Year, NEW ... post.

Oh how I love this little man. A classic pose.

If I get one post done this year I am going to be OH so happy!!! I'm not going to promise any kind of regular posting or anything, since that is not realistic... but I shall try to write more because I truly enjoy this silly blog. It's fun for me.
Christmas Report:
Most of the baking got done and got eaten immediately. I should have taken pictures but the truth is that I forgot to get the camera. My big plan this year was to bake loaves of bread and send them to people instead of sending sugary baking... I think I only did that to 2 lucky people and the rest of the people got zippo. Oooops. Not a great year for gift-giving or card-sending... sorry people. No offense intended!
We had a lovely visit with most of the family at Christmas this year. We partied hard... about 11 adults and 12 kids at each supper meal. That is a LOT of cooking and cleaning... but it was fun because there were lots of people around to help. Brett got 2 days of skiing/snowboarding in, along with a couple of 15 km runs, so he was happy. I was able to go on ONE walk with my Mom to the graveyard. That was the highlight of my trip, I think. Oh, and AVATAR!! So great. What a fun time at the movies! I highly recommend it.
Here's a few pics of the festivities...if I can find them...

This is proof of how busy Grandma and Grandpa's house was. CRAZY. But fun.
