weekending~


this weekend~
i slept in
had a shot of toffee in my coffee
smiled as i painted
was stopped in my tracks by the movie casablanca
ate a slice of pizza with my honey
blasted marc anthony as loud as i could on the radio
lost my glove
found my glove
made taco salad for the game
froze my woo hoo off as i photographed some old buildings
thought to myself, was it easier to be a parent, when our kids were little... umm, yeah. lol
bought a box of tangerines, which sucked... so i took photos of them. forgive me clementines ; )
saw hector at the store. "hey mami, christina, it's me hector... que pasa??
washed dishes
laughed until i cried
dirtied the dishes
put a dash of cinnamon in the brownies
washed the dishes
ordered film
knitted during the packer game. heh heh
read til i fell asleep

life is good~

i am participating in weekending over at amanda's place. join the fun!

enjoy your day~

Today I enjoyed reading to children at the local elementary school. Then shipped a couple orders for Marmalady's. I am heading for a book.

Oh how I would love to laugh until I cried. I haven't done that in oh so long.

I had a piece of sugar free chocolate covered toffee with my coffee!
Made a five layer dip and had bean taco chips with it for the games on Sunday
Had a roaring fire and snuggled with my honey on the couch watching the game.
Just had a general lazy Sunday and I loved it.
Need days like this
Hugs

Go Packers! Now that the Patriots are not in it I will root for my next favorite team:)

dede778 said...

Perfect as always....cinnamon in brownies, so so good....glad to be back friend......peace

Margie said...

Sounds delightful and posted in true Christina style!

Pearl Maple said...

Cute pick of the tangerines, shame they were not what you hoped for. Were you able to get out and take lots of photos of the snow? Too funny about the knitting through the game, think we have all done that before.

Becky Shander said...

Your descriptions are all so special, some funny and some simply devine. I love your way with words.

Joanna Jenkins said...

Hey Christina, This is the third time in the past few months that I've seen this orange polka dot bowl in unexpected places. It's fabulous!!!

Sorry the oranges weren't as great as the bowl but thanks for the lovely pic.

Cheers, jj

Kath said...

Ordered film? I'm intrigued!!!!

susanna said...

Life is sweet at your place, Christina. Is the photograph in the previous post from this cold day? If so, it's a timeless image. It could be from the early 19th Century. Well worth the freezing of the whoohoo.

i feel myself coming out of my january funk/blues/hibernation. yes, life is good. all those small things make it so. big things too, but small things are the foundation.

clementines & blood oranges here. and key limes drizzled into ice cold bottles of topo chico.

xoxo

beth said...
