OMG...

I think Ken and I are over this virus that we've had since before Christmas...Once we received medication, doctor said we just had to ride things out and that it was going to take a while...That it did...
 
Trying to play catch up on all my paper work along with other things...
 
Managed to scrap today...Not sure if you'd really call it scrapping as I managed to finish 3 UFO's (Unfinished Objects...)  Great feeling...
 
I have a 2 day crop coming up in February and managed to order some photos...Hopefully some of them will match up with the huge stack of UFO's I still have...Once photos arrive, I'm going to try and kit up things so I can be productive...
 
Santa got me an Amazon Gift card and although I really don't need anything else scrapbook related, I felt the need for some retail therapy...Haven't bought anything for months...Looking forward for my order to arrive, but going to try and hold off opening it...Do I really think that's going to work...Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...but I can try...
 
Time to go back to watching the football game...
 
Everyone have a great week...Stay safe...

Trying to catch up...

I don't remember ever having a cold, sore throat, cough, chills, and all that other stuff linger as long as this...Been in touch with doctor...Did get medication, but now I'm told, it's time to ride out the storm...Unfortunately not much is getting done around here while I'm riding around here...I manage to do a few things here and there but then I'm just exhausted...I've been out and about, but then come home and time to rest...Again back in touch with the doctor and getting the same information, keep you hands and feet in the ride at all times...Wonder if it's time to change doctors...I am so much better than I was, but not like I want to be...Today, I have some laundry to put away along with some over due paper work to be done...
 
I signed up for a scrapbooking crop for tomorrow...meeting another gal there...hoping to make some cards for a card swap I signed up for...Thinking of traveling light...which of course never happens...but the more I load up, the more stuff I have to schlep around...I think I need to make 8 of the same card...the challenge isn't due immediately, but I know that if I wait to long then I'm rushing around and making mistakes...Wish me luck...Also hoping some fresh air and fun time will help the cause...
 
Ken was kind enough to pick up a bunch of things from the store for me...I have several recipes I've been wanting to try...A couple of different soups, Swedish meatballs, and I believe a chicken broccoli dish...Oh, and can't forget the no bake eclair dessert...They all sound yummy...
 
Wishing everyone a great Friday along with a fantastic weekend...
 
Enjoy and stay safe...

Not very opportunistic today...

Been fighting a cold/cough now for a bout 2 weeks...much better than it was, but this cough just seems to linger on...and since I did scads of running around yesterday in the drab dreary rain, I think I'm just run down today...

Managed to fold a couple loads of clothes and now they're sitting on the bed to be put away...Was also able to organize some paper work...Time to take out the 2016 folders and make room for 2017 folders...

Was able to find another recipe for Broccoli Cheese soup, so going to have to give that a try in the near future...My first recipe went in file 13...despite the fact that Ken actually had two bowls...I'm the one that didn't care for it much...So will let you know how that turns out...

Hope everyone has a great day...

Opportunities...

January 1st - missed opportunity by the Cleveland Browns...
January 1st - took advantage of $105 in free play at the Casino and tripled my money...
 
January 2nd - took advantage of a lazy day and proceeded to get all the Christmas decorations put away along with organizing my paper work and spring cleaning both dressers...
 
January 3rd - ran lots of errands today despite the drab rainy day we had...plus tried a new recipe for broccoli cheese soup...recipe now in file 13...lol...
 
I realize no one really reads blogs any more, but if I can keep up with keeping myself busy and accomplishing different things along with opportunities that I can take advantage of it will be a GREAT year...

Welcome 2017...

With 2017 comes 365 opportunities...I am going to try my best to take advantage of each and every day...

My OLW (one little word) for 2017 is patience...Something I definitely need to work at...

Wishing everyone a HEALTHY, HAPPY, PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR...

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives...Make it count...
