Snow!

So thankful for the snow this weekend!  Breton was out shovelling as soon as there was enough to shovel. 

I also started to decorate for Christmas, starting with putting out my winter dishes:) yes I have winter dishes.

While putting them out I was just smiling from ear to ear.  They just made me happy!  

So festive and wintery, the blue and white.

Snowflake glasses and my collection of holiday mugs.  I got a few being a teacher:)

Hope your start to Christmas prep is going well.

Ode To The Avocado

Avocado

I first met you in my guacamole 

And even then I wasn't in love with you

But now

I love you!

In my sushi

In a salad

I mix you with salsa, hummus or with tuna

Then eat you on a cracker.

Wondered if you were a veggie or a fruit

Googled you

You are a fruit

Should have known with the size of your pit

In Mexico they call you an Alligator Pear.

Whatever you are called

I love you

Cheaper is NOT always better!

So this is Thrifty Thursdays and I just have to go on record stating that cheaper is not always better!

I live for a cup of orange pekoe ("regular") tea. Ok maybe three or four cups a day. So in an attempt to save some $ I bought the store's version of regular tea, not my usual Red Rose or Tetley.

Well YUCK!

My evening tea was ruined! It was like drinking medicine.  There was this weird chemical taste.  I even thought that I would be hearing soon that there is a recall on this tea.  It was gross.

So some things I can not go cheap on.

Lesson learned.

Thanx life!

This is me in grade nine!

So I have had this sweater since grade nine!  I love it!  It is kinda militaryish, thick and warm, neutral colour.

I look much cooler in it now then in grade nine:) no way could you pay me to go back to high school!

Bare naked Lady here!  Hope you got the reference! Nakid so fun 

To do list

Put up Christmas lights

Change furnace filter

Fix this

Fix this (put a new pluggie thing back into the sink). We have lost a few things down there...a lipbalm the whole thing is down there somewhere??!!

Either get the fan AND the light working or just find a new chandelier... With no wires hanging out:)

Thankful for...

My two legs, my two arms with hands at their ends, two eyes, a nose that can smell, organs that seem to work, ears that usually work, mouth that can smile

Freebies

Go to www.samplesource.com to get free samples.  There are a whole bunch you can choose from.  It is a great chance to try the items before you buy them.  I have gotten everything from razors to dishwasher soap.

Afterwards you do get an email with a survey to fill out.  Not really a big deal.  Can be a little lengthy though.  Later they will email you when new samples are available. 

You have to be quick.  Some samples get chosen quickly.  Nonetheless it is fun to get the package in the mail:)
