christmas is over!

and now i can get my life back, no more urgent shopping trips, no worrying about leaving anyone out (i'm sure i did), no more ridiculously crowded grocery stores.
we had the usual christmas,
gus and i dropped a off at her moms and went over to aunt s and uncle r's house and hung out and chatted for a while and were sung to by the kids
really christmas carols sung to us by the children, it really did give me back my xmas spirit, it was really cute.
then we went to a best western so gus could work his 3 hour shift and i could sleep (or watch cable)
the next day we went to my pee paws house and had dinner watched kids and dogs run around and pop fire crackers.
peepaw talked to me again about working on his controversial song again.(shaking my head)
after all that we went back to mommy and Eloy's house for presents
and i got stuff to can things with!!!
yeah!!!
i'm seriously so excited

also there is this lymon lemon or lime hybrid tree at peepaw's . he told me to pick all that was on the tree and take them home.
i'm not sure what they are it's citrus and looks like lemon but smells like tangerine
anyway i think i may make marmalade or jelly with it!!!
let the canning adventures begin
also,
gus got a bb gun he may shoot his eye out

it's winter this week

and it will be a busy week
a dress to finish for the niece some knitting to do some shopping to do
some entertaining as well
the house will have an extra person for a while , A will be visiting on a school break , things will be good.
i'm thinking of a possible tamale making party
i have a few people interested

went to yoga today after not going for over a month
it was awesome i'm all loosey goosey and ready for the day

happy sunday!

all i do these days is knit
getting Christmas out of the way so i can do some nonobligatory projects
i forget that i should start all this before November even i should start Christmas projects in July.
well next year perhaps
i did finish Antonio's overalls and the are super cute
and i did take a break to make myself a skirt because i hadn't made anything for myself in a while.
ok, back to that pot holder
