Last week we had a full moon and a cloudy night.

This was the first time I have ever been able to actually capture the moon.

Nov 8 Something you do everyday

Nov 8 Something you do everyday, a photo by UgleeLittleThings on Flickr.

For those of you who haven't heard, I have two of the most spoiled dogs ever, in the history of ever.

Bruno the Dingo is way too big to be in my lap, but he does like to be RIGHTHERE under my armpit sometimes. And he helps me deal with my hubby being on the road, especially at night, because he's big, cuddly, snores, and farts in his sleep.

The one in this picture is Bugz, the WLP (World's Largest Pomeranian). He's my little monster, he yells at everyone, follows me through the house everywhere and insists upon being ON me every chance he gets. This is how we spend most of our days, with him in my lap and me trying to not knit or crochet him into everything LOL!

We have house gnomes. They're pretty quiet normally. But this morning, I heard a strange noise in the hall bath, so I went to check it out.

I think this one is Clarence, but I'm not sure to be honest.

Anyway, he was checking himself out in my hubby's shaving mirror and then, when I blinked, he was gone!

Happy election day!

Hi there! Happy election day! I hope you went to vote to day, it's important to voice our opinions about what's going on. I don't care who you vote for, that's your business, but at least go and cast your ballot!

It's only Tuesday, a little less than a week and my hunny will home for a whole whopping 5 days! WOO HOO! I'm keeping him updated on the election, since he's all the way in Australia.

This is going to be a big week for me, too! Actually, it was supposed to be a big month, with three friends having babies! It was supposed to be Charlie, then Brooke then Christian. It turned out that Christian had her son, Zane King, and Brooke had her son, Myles Jaxon, TODAY! LOL I'm so excited and happy to have two new baby boys in my life and I can hardly wait to see them and cuddle them and then give them back to their moms! Now it's Charlie's turn to have her baby girl! She's due Thursday, so here's hoping she's on time and not "fashionably late" as most girls like to be!

I'll stop here, and let you get back to watching the election results!

My favourite thing is my wedding bouquet. I love the colours and the fact that I had peacock feathers in it!

This is what I see every day at 5, Bugz laying next to my feet, if not actually on my slippers

Nov 3 Breakfast

A yummy green smoothie! I really need to get back into the routine of having smoothies.

Getting caught up

As you can tell, I've been busy uploading pictures of all kinds of things around here. I always seem to be taking pictures nowadays, now that I have a social life! LOL

We're settled into our new home, have been for a while. And we are getting back into our routine. Danny is on tour in Australia, I am home taking care of the dogs and designing and making and perfecting recipes for when the family visits.

And the biggest thing coming up is Christmas. Growing up, Christmas wasn't HUGE, meaning I don't ever remember there being any extended family around. This year, however, is shaping up to be the biggest Christmas of my life!

First off, my oldest is bringing her boyfriend to meet us - we'll see how that goes LOL. Then, this is the first Christmas I will have with Daddy and Mama Carol and all the aunts, uncles and cousins. I've discovered I have a ginormous family I didn't know. I think I need a flow chart to keep track of all of them! Then, Danny's sister and brother-in-law, Tara and Phil, will be coming! As will my bonus kids, Skyler and Lily.

And on top of all that, we have friends all over and are planning on them coming over at some point during the holidays!

WHEW! I need to clone myself, I think!

Danny and I also had our first wedding anniversary on October 29th, but we didn't really get to celebrate, since he is in Australia. We chatted on FaceTime, but that's it. We will have our celebration when he comes home this month. I am normally pretty good at dealing with missed holidays and birthdays and such, after all, this is his job, and he's been doing it for almost 30 years now. (Besides, I wouldn't know how to act or what to do if he was actually home for Thanksgiving LOL!), but I was a little bummed that he was gone on our anniversary.

And as for work, yes, I am still designing and making! And I am still loving it! I am moving a bit slow this week, since I am in the middle of a horrible FMS flare-up and that is driving me mad. I can't figure out a way to get the pain to relent even a little. In fact, despite being thrilled to be home, I am exhibiting new symptoms, and when they come up, they seem to be much worse. It's awful, I hate it every day, and I know I am learning to live with this stupid crap, but I don't want to have to live with it. I don't want anyone to have to learn to live with it. Yes, I can still get things done, but it seems to take forever. I am getting frustrated with this . . .

Now, I am going to stop complaining, there are people in the world who are worse off than I am. I am going to whip up something to eat and settle in for a night of crochet and "Ancient Aliens."

My awesome hunny, Danny

I'll post again soon, promise!
