I spent my much anticipated 3-day holiday in my jammies and robe! I thought it was bad enough my 4-day Christmas break had me stormed in with a blizzard but surely I'd make good use of the next break. Not so much.
I did, however manage to crochet some scarves for upcoming birthday gifts :)
I used fluffy, soft homespun yarn and a fairly large crochet hook. I knew I didn't have the gusto to go to the basement and paint, but at least I felt somewhat creative doing something as I just sat there.
Oh, did I mention what Dale gave me for Christmas??? It's a Kuerig Platinum coffee maker!
When I first opened it, I thought....'oh-oh, we've dated too long now, he's giving me kitchen appliances' but after I opened it and used it, I LOVE IT! (Ignore the messy background in my pics today!)
It came with 12 little cups of individual coffee/tea blends. Even a Hot Chocolate! I've also got the metal filter which allows me to use my own coffee and that will save $$. Those little cups are awful handy though!
I'm back at work and quite swamped this time of year. Many of our farmers defer their checks so on the first of January, I'm usually busy, busy, busy getting them paid. This year, writing $2 million in checks with a bad cold, a.k.a. THICK FOG is rather difficult. Sure hope I don't mess anything up. Yikes!
I'm hoping to wrap things up here today and get over to visit your blogs soon. I've missed you all!
Happy New Year!

That Keurig looks awesome! I keep thinking that if I had one of those I would cut my caffeine intake by quite a bit. One good cup, rather than half a pot to myself! ;)
And you managed to crochet those lovely scarves while you were sick!?! You go, girl!!
