January 31st, ME!!!

 
 
I don't HATE this picture.  I'm surprised as I usually do hate all pics of me.  ESPECIALLY SELFIES!!!!!  But this turned out surprisingly good.  This is ME!!!

January 30th, Flat Lay

 
 
 
Now, I have to be honest!  I had NO IDEA what "flat lay" meant.  Smashed lays potato chip was the first thing that came to mind.  Then my mind went dirty.  Thanks to my well informed friends, it's taken a pic of items lying flat....  So simple huh?
 
This is my Christmas Craft Haul.  I took them out of their boxes for this picture.  Haven't played ONCE since Christmas.  February has to be the time to remedy that!!!


January 29th, Home

 
No, this is not my ACTUAL home.  not that I'd complain....  I bought this at a craft show YEARS ago.  Loved that I could add MY name and the year our HOME was created (cant see it very well now, it's 1989)

January 28th, Smile


 
He's got a great smile AND he makes ME smile.  Love my snowmen!  

January 27th, Telephone


 
My delightful work phone.  What I LOVE about it is it seldom rings!!  And usually, it's a personal call when it does.  The #1 thing I love about my job is I don't have to answer too many calls.  First time in my professional life that I've NOT had to answer calls!!!!

January 26th, Simplicity

 
  THIS is simple. My life is NOT simple.  My mind may be simple but very little in my life is. This has NOT been a simple assignment!

A machine of some sort in the "dungeon" of our office.  Any idea WHAT it is??

January 23rd, Play



Took my parents to breakfast at McDs today (had no parental breakfast food in the house!) Took my camera, just in case.  Couldn't have been more perfect for "play"!!!  There were no kids playing tho....


January 22nd, night



Dinner!  Need I really say more.  SOOOOO yummy!!!

January 21st, Morning



6:12am  Morning, over the parking lot....  Notice how it's NOT PLOWED!!!  Made walking treacherous!

January 20th, pattern


 
The pattern in the new fallen snow.....  Could have taken a picture of the pattern of uber slow traffic & the pattern of UNPLOWED snow on the interstates.

January 19th, In The Hand


 
Since we don't have a Sonic, I have to "settle" for McDonalds for my fountain soda fix.  It's not bad but the cup is too small.  Love their new graphics!!

January 18th, White

 
We went to the hockey game on Monday: white ice & the other (loser) team in white.  Was an AWESOME game.  We won & won BIG!!  The team really needed that!

January 17th, Faceless


 
To be honest, this was NOT supposed to be my blog post today.  I was just SOOOO excited to see that we are FINALLY getting a Sonic back that I had to take the picture!!  Then, when I saw that I had completely obliterated Scott's face, I thought I'd just go with it.  And, did you see???  We're getting a Sonic!!!  I'm soooo excited.  Love Sonic!!!!!


January 16th, Chair


 
One of my dining chairs and the reflection of one of my dining chairs.....

Talk about your slow mail days.  Magazines and ads.  I guess it's good, not a bill in there!

January 14th, Close Up


 
Close up of the glittery snowman nightlight.  Make me happy :)

January 13th, 3 of a Kind


Three little snowmen.  I have a slew of snowmen to make me feel better after the tree is gone (although, the upstairs tree is STILL up....lol)

January 12th, Something I wore


 
My snuggly nightgown. 

January 11th, Outdoors




 
Just outside my front door.  Little bit of Saturday's dusting of snow.  (my neighbor still has his green Christmas light up.  Makes his grass look REALLY green!)
 
 
 
And this is MY front door.  Yes, those are my Christmas lights......

January 10th, Lucky


Haven't checked them yet.  Who knows, I could be a millionaire right now! 

January 9th, Shoes


 
I FINALLY got around to replacing my Blitzens.  I loved my first pair soooo much & just couldn't give them up no matter how worn they were & how little TREAD was left on them.  But, just before Christmas, Crocs had a 1/2 off sale & even tho they aren't EXACTLY the same, I ordered these.  They came a few days ago and as soon as I slipped them on, I realized that, like the other pair, they were lined in LOVE.  Haven't taken them off yet!!!  Got a new pair of leather Toms for Christmas & they are still in the box w/the tags on them...   Eventually, I will wear them too!!

January 8th, Landscape


Driving home from work today... off the side of the highway... plenty of room on the shoulder so I didn't take my life in my own hands trying to get this pic.....

January 7th, Reading


She's reading.... about writing...

January 6th, Something Blue

 
Something Blue.  My new purse! Scott got it for me for Christmas.  Had to have SOMETHING to counter act all the Cardinal juju going around.  Nick can't touch it; he says it BURNS!!!  lol

January 5th, Leaves

 
It's COLD here, the leaves have fallen or they are frozen and ICKY looking. 
Take your pick


January 4th, Circles

 
 
Circles.....  Quite YUMMY circles I must say!!!

January 3rd, Water



What an appropriate subject for today.  The entire Saint Louis area is experiencing flooding!  The highway from Missouri to Alton is under about 3 feet of water.  The flour mill is covered w/about 4 feet of water (about 6" less than the flood of 1973).  The River Road to Grafton is closed because it's flooded.   Water EVERYWHERE.  But, despite all the devastation, it still has it's beauty!  This is the Mississippi river at the lock & dam.  Gorgeous sunlit reflected on the water!!!  Beautiful!!!


 
and, the ducks were enjoying the extra water!

January 2nd, What I did today

Today was a VERY lazy day.  I sat around all day & read a book on my Kindle app on my tablet (somehow, the picture doesn't show the book on the tablet...)  As evening rolled around, I did actually fold clothes while watching the Blues lose.

Trying it again

It's been sooooo long since I blogged.  Angie (it's ALWAYS Angie!!) has challenged me with January in pictures.  Gonna give it a try.  I've got my pics for the first 3 days but need to get them cropped & "pretty".  Hopefully today!
