Day 21

Christmas party at the in-laws' then off to see some holiday lights.

Day 20

I saw and enjoyed The Nutcracker tonight.

Day 19

My friend Jill gave me her pumpkin macaroni and cheese recipe.  I made it earlier in the week and finally finished it today. I cut the recipe in half and still had a lot of leftovers because it makes so much and my husband didn't want it.

Day 18

I went out to dinner with a friend tonight (sushi, yum!) and she gave me a birthday present. Here is part of it:

Day 13

Baking up a storm for co-worker gifts and holiday parties.

Day 11

A friend and I have an inside joke (not even so much as a joke as a long story that I don't feel like typing right now) about peeling potatoes so I often send her a message when I peel potatoes like today.  Today's message included this pic.

Day 10

The Christmas baking begins...

Day 6

Here is the other wreath.  I gave it to my mom on Nov. 30th, day 6.

Day 9

I was excited to have a few minutes to read this today.  I'm enjoying it!

Day 8

The obligatory Christmas tree picture and on day 7, I put up the stockings too.

Day 12

I've had my ballet shoes forever.  I bought a new pair last year and they seemed a little tight, but I figured that was just because they were new. I tried and tried to break them in and no luck. I finally gave up and got another pair because I think I had the wrong size and they weren't just tight because I needed to be broken in here is the new pair they fit so much better! I wore them to ballet tonight.

Day 7 Dec. 1st

Went out to dinner and drinks with a bunch of friends to celebrate my and my husband's birthday on day 6.  Didn't manage to get a picture of everyone, but here are a few of us. Had a great time!

Day 5

Yes, I really posted a picture of Mucinex.  Last night--well, technically, it wasn't last night right now, but it was the night of day four, I had such a huge coughing fit that I woke my poor husband up and eventually, I just gave up got out of bed and took some Mucinex and attempted to stop the coughing.  I did not have a major cold, but around the time I got conjunctivitis I also had I had a long lasting sore throat and some crazy coughing fits.

Pictures 2018 Day 1

I stink at blogging again.  I had two great summer trips that I never wrote about.  I even took some pics for the blog.  I suppose I could always do it later.  We will see.  Anyway, as usual 30 days of pictures is back.  I started it on Nov. 25th, but waited a few days to start posting.  Here is day 1, a friend of mine taught me how to make wreaths.  I kept one, gave one to my mother-in-law, and gave one to my mother. You will have to wait until a later blog to see the missing third one.
