Random Stuff and a Birthday

I hope you all had a nice New Year celebration! I'm happy to report that I managed to stay awake until midnight! I kept dozing off but forced myself to stay awake. The result of that was then I couldn't go to sleep until after 1:00! Go figure! My sleep issues don't care what year it is! 

I don't make NY resolutions as a rule, but I did write down some things I really want to get done this year:

  • I want to finish scanning my photos. It's a project that I started when I retired and got about 1/3 of the way done before pooping out! I really need to finish that! 
  • Our whole house needs painting on the inside so I'm hoping to get that done before the holidays this year! 
  • I want to paint the trim on our shed and the back steps, which I wanted to get done in the fall but never got around to! 
  • I have about 6 craft projects I've started but never finished, so I'm hoping to get those done! 

I will give it my best and hope my lazy, procrastinating self doesn't take over! Working doesn't help but I only work about 15 hours a week so that's no excuse! 

Anyway, call me crazy but did you know you can iron tissue paper?

 



It's doesn't come out perfect but good enough to wrap something or stick out of a gift bag! Normally I would just buy new because it's so cheap, but I had particular colors I wanted to use so this worked out good! 

Today is Maxwells 6th birthday. Yesterday was his party! Besides family he had some friends from school too! 




That's about it for now. I'm going to take a small blogging break so I can get ready for the February Photo A Day posts.  It's coming up fast! 

Until then stay safe and well, my friends! 



Phone Photo Dump

 Time for another purge of the photos I collect on my phone!  The boys were playing with kinetic sand and it is a little oily.  Levi left hi...
