And Happy Birthday early.....Good to hear from you! And Happy Birthday early...and then we'll be the same age again until Nov.<br /><br />I've been wanting to make one of those rag quilts myself...watched the "how to" videos on youtube. I think I spend too much time on pinterest...so many ideas I don't know where to start! Your quilt looks great, btw.<br /><br />I thought we had so much in common until I saw your movie list! My hubby loves those shows/movies. I'm more the romantic comedy kind of gal. But I also love watching homesteading movies (Alone in the Wilderness if my favorite), and reruns of The Waltons. And I also can spend hours on Youtube watching short clips (example...anything by theMrsVolfie..a homesteader who tapes random things)<br /><br />I look forward to January but only because spring is on the way! We are expecting the 70s in NC this w/e...a little unusual, but I'll take it! I love sun/warmth!<br /><br />I think of you every night as I apply my Spring Chicken serum :)<br /><br />PS..."TheBoy" looks like he is having a great time (and yes, I do believe that is milk!...and it looks like the gal on the right has her hair in a blue bowl??) I know you miss him.kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516829712863561116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-41683065514256017402013-01-08T14:41:18.965-06:002013-01-08T14:41:18.965-06:00So good to "read" you again... ;)

My husband and I looked at each other and said, "That's it? Are they married? Did we miss something? What do you MEAN they are already back from a month in the South of France??!" That part was a bummer. But we love Downton Abbey and thought Shirley Maclaine (or however you spell her name) was a hoot.<br /><br />THAT QUILT...

January is one of my favorite times of the year too....the relative calm, a clean house and the promise of the new year. Love it!! I too have a dish fetish. ;) The tea set is too cute. :) I've been watching all the football games, college basketball and golf. ;) I don't think you are interested. =P I did watch Market Warriors last night though because the football game went south. ;) Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397352497202685897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-85746479259415469692013-01-08T10:41:53.958-06:002013-01-08T10:41:53.958-06:00Happy Happy New Year, Jayme!

I keep loading up the car with things for Goodwill, today I'm taking purses from 2 closets in to a consignment store. I think I might actually make some money on these! Yesterday I cleaned out the kitchen junk drawers, you just wouldn't believe the amount of twist ties, cell phones and chargers and unidentifyable stuff that was in there! I threw away the true junk and re-filed the good stuff. I feel empowered, I think you're right... this may be the best month of the year!Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-37834006797468297692013-01-08T00:27:05.382-06:002013-01-08T00:27:05.382-06:00if bates did it i may just be one of those freaks ...if bates did it i may just be one of those freaks that screams at their tv...only not during a football game. felt the same when matthew almost died.<br /><br /><br />i've been walking everyday in jan. yay me! pathetic, yes, but it's a start.<br /><br /><br />i too say poopoo to busyness. i think i am rare for a 32 yr old mom of 4. my kids will not benefit from the yanking of one activity to the next. love ya. glad you're back...Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10041240496017131851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-43124172723318923572013-01-07T21:55:23.260-06:002013-01-07T21:55:23.260-06:00Can you sell some o' your calm up on the Craig...Can you sell some o' your calm up on the Craigslist??<br /><br />Only you, Jaymse.
