Currently (... so are the Days of our Lives)

Good Sunday evening!   

Can you believe it's December, already?  This meme pretty well sums up my 2018 --

  

   

Out my window …

Yuk, yeah.  

So glad I bought those gosh-awful rubber boots last Spring.  Hard to tell, but the water's near to my knees (I'm 5'7").  We have to get in and rake out the leaves that keep the water from flowing out under the neighbor's fence.

In the kitchen?

Because I drew the line at paying another $200 for a compatible range hood, we bought a can of appliance-friendly black paint.  Now, I'm thinking the white doesn't look so bad after all.  What say you?  Paint or not?

Oh, I meant to tell y'all!  When we went to check-out at Lowe's last week, the total came to $666 + change.  Right away, I asked the cashier if I might buy something else, and grabbed a pack of batteries.  Tom was looking at me like I lost my mind, "What are you doing?"  Still not sure he comprehends why I had to change that total.  
Would you?

I'm feeling

Nostalgic.

Normal perhaps, but this time of year my mind keeps travelling back in time.  The last few days I've spent going through old scrapbook memorabilia.  For the good times … pass the Kleenex.

Grateful that ...

I didn't find any keepsake ornaments to my liking this year.  This little guy's limbs are far too small!

We'd looked at Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby; Craig's List, too.

… and in the end, concluded there's no reason to spend $$$ on a tree we don't love -- or have space for.

Just my style!

A favorite hack?

Does anyone else grow annoyed with their 'selfies' when the picture comes out looking like you're staring at something bottom left?  I'm not the brightest bulb in the garden, but I couldn't figure where to look before pressing the shutter button.

I discovered if I turned the phone 90 degrees my image looks so much better … no more jowls, no more double chins!  'Tis the season … say, 'cheese'!

Finally … 

I'm always interested in learning more about my blog family!

  

This little book of posers has been a personal favorite for years now.  Not to take away from Terri's entertaining Wednesday Medley, but I'd like to begin closing my December posts with one or two holiday-related questions:   

  As the Christmas season draws near, what song is it that you can't wait to hear?

Conversely, what Christmas song drives you nuts?

Have a great new week … be safe out there!

Hugs,

Myra
