playing catch up today (dpp [day 21])

The only thing making if feel like Christmas today was wearing my favorite Christmas socks. I think our thermometer topped out at 73° today. Warm, windy, with intermittent rain. This is Winter Solstice 2013 in GA...not bad, not bad at all. I will take any warm weather day in the winter that comes my way and embrace it lovingly!

As for how I spent the first day of winter...after a morning cleaning house, laundry, and dishes...I went to see my ~~therapist~~ hair stylist for a long, overdue haircut. Met a friend to browse through the Dollar Tree with me because I needed more gift tags and ribbon. Made it out of the store for with only 12 items...not bad since I haven't been there in about a year.
This is where it gets really good...
My workout for the day...stacking this:



Cool down...a walk in the woods...looking for mistletoe, but discovering Christmas tree future...

and Christmas tree past...


before finding my mistletoe...


Unless we shoot it out of the tree, getting kissed under this mistletoe is going to require some walking to get there first. :)
Winter, you're arrival has been kind. I thank you! Longer daylight ahead with promise of Spring to come.

The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan. However, as with many things in life that I haven't particularly enjoyed over the years, my boys make it so worth my time and heart. I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball. Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...

Wednesday's Walk...Janis Lynn

In searching for a photo from my senior year in college, I was bombarded with sweet, sweet memories of one of my closest college friends....Janis Lynn MacLeish. I met Janis in the fall of 1993 when she came to Taylor University Fort Wayne. She was in my wing of Lexington Hall. Although, I was her RA, Janis taught me so much about life and living in a very short time that I often felt she did a better job leading than I ever could. Life was never the same for me after she and I became friends. It was oh, so much better! The room brightened when Janis finally awoke and entered through the door of one. She befriended the likes of anyone and made no enemies...except for the girls who were jealous of her for one reason or another. Her laughter echoed throughout the halls everyday. One knew when Janis was away for the weekend for it was creepily quiet on campus. Janis ...
