Happy Monday!

Today is the end of Monday of a 3-day work week!!! WHOO-HOO!!! I am so excited about going down and seeing my family at Christmas, that every minute that I can shave off of my wait time, is ALWAYS a good thing!!

I made some salt-dough ornaments yesterday. The recipe said it would take about 10 minutes of baking to dry them out – UHM…NO!! 5 hours later, and I FINALLY got them to dry!!! It’s all good though, because they did turn out really cute. So a little paint and varnish, and ribbon, and they will be ready to hang on ye old Christmas tree!!!

I have finished wrapping all of the presents – even the stocking ones! My husband is in baking cookies – his gift to all of our friends and family!! I am done being responsible this evening, so if it hasn’t gotten done at this time of the night, it is not going to!

I was browsing on Facebook tonight and found this really old picture of me in jazz band – this is one of those rare finds, that brings back memories as if I were still there!!! CRAZY!! Can you find me??? My husband found me in an instant, I may look different, but my smile ALWAYS remains the same!!! Can you find me?

Wow this pic really takes me back!!!

I wonder if there are any other pics like this floating around! I have to tell you, I miss playing and being a part of something bigger then myself. I really LOVE music, and I sometimes fantasize about coming picking up my cornet again, yes I still have it, and practice – I am sure that there are adult musicians out there SOMEWHERE??? Can you imagine!! Oh, that would be bliss!!!

Anyway, as I spend the rest of my evening enjoying my Christmas lights, and hanging out with my sweetie and the girls,

Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉
