Finally getting back onto this computer after it being in the shop for a couple of weeks. Last Christmas the same thing. Thankfully, its up and working. While I didn't have it, got much needed work done around the house. You can say, I cleaned out 2008 and 2009 is looking good. Scrubbed, scoured and cleaned from top to bottom. Figured, once I got the computer back, I wouldn't be doing anything around the house. Does that happen to you? Sometimes I get glued to this machine.

I received some ornaments this week. One was postmarked 12/14. I have one that went out overseas before Christmas and still hasn't gotten there. You pay so much for what. Its the luck of the draw, maybe it gets there, maybe it doesn't. Last year, the in-law Christmas packages didn't arrive till Feb. They didn't put any tracking or insurance, who knows where they were.

One of the packages I received was from Andie. My snowman swap partner. What a wonderful package she sent. She made the sign herself from a tile. Very nice! My son took the book and the snowman blanket. Says he wont give them up. And we've been enjoying the different teas. Thank so much Andie, it was a pleasure to swap with you.

Off I go to start my day. Suppose to get some snow tomorrow, so need to go food shopping.

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year.
