Just me and the dogs

Scott has appointments today and Ella spent the night at a girlfriend's last night.  All alone.  Just me and the dogs.

About 6:00 this morning.  Pugs should just hybernate, they HATE the cold.

I've had about a pot of coffee and am working on 2012 calendars . . . my absolute favorite thing to do!  House, work, desk, purse, phone calendars - LOVE THEM!!

This week off has been heaven.  We've done nothing but relax and have had great family time.  Ella helped me take down Christmas (usually the dreaded Barb-only job) and put up the winter decorations, and we actually had a good time doing it.

Doily snowflakes - kinda cute.

The only thing that has been disappointing is the weather.  Bright, sunny, clear, dry.  Ella and I were hoping for gloomy, rainy days.  Scott . . . not so much.

After calendars I'm going to brew a pot of vegetable soup and buttermilk-cornmeal drop biscuits.  Very Martha.  And think about resolutions . . . and what to do New Years Eve.  The perfect Friday!!
