Tired!!!

I had a good workout weekend. Our regular Saturday workout at the main school and today's workout in the cities. Oh, and I went Salsa dancing Friday night.
I really need to work on my front leg kicks and closing the distance better when I'm fighting someone taller(which is all the time). Oh, and combos! :P Oi, I'm tired! Kind of wears you out, these 2 hour workouts. I love it though. :)

By the river.
On an evergreen.
Crabapples
This one turned out better for some reason. I think that maybe my flash went off for this one and not the other crabapple ones

Happy Anniversary to us, yesterday. :)

Yesterday was our 1 year anniversary. To be honest, I kind of forgot about it until last week. Oops. I know, women are supposed remember ALL of those types of things... Like I said, oops.
I did remember it in the end. I made Dave the most awesome card ever. :) And he took me out to eat. He also took the day of off work so we could spend it together. :)

Man, I'm not good at this blogging thing. :P

I just really have a hard time figuring out what to put in here. My life has been pretty boring lately,what with being laid off and Christmas being over. I have been trying new recipes out. I suppose that I could start blogging about that. Anyway, this is kind of a random post letting my one reader know that I haven't abandoned this blog yet. :) Hopefully I'll be able to come up with some good ideas soon. Maybe I'll have to challenge myself to post at least once a week. Yeah! That's what I'll do! Actually, I have lots of good ideas. Its the follow through I have trouble with. Hopefully I'll be going back to work soon and that will give me something to post about.

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! We sure got a nice white Christmas this year! A lot of the precip. came down as rain though, so it's not as much as it could have been. :) It is still coming down. Big huge flakes. Yay.

Getting ready for Christmas.

Candied nuts. They're so good! I need to package them up so I don't eat them all!
Russian Teacakes. I love these cookies. I ground the nuts in these. But, my sister made some yesterday and she just chopped them up a little. I kind of liked hers better.

No, I did not do all of this in one day. I am not a super woman. :)

Decorating for Christmas.

Christmas decorating is something kind of new to me. But, I figure that now I am married and have a step-son I should maybe quit being such a Scrooge. Besides, I have some really neat Santa(even though I don't believe in him) ornaments that a friend of mine made for me. I love them.
Anyway, the tree is up after some issues with making it actually stand up. And while we were under the stairs finding the tree we found a tote with various things including a stocking that L had made. We never did stockings when I was little but I think that it will be fun to do.

Dave and I went to town last night and I mentioned that I wanted some lights and ornaments to go on the tree....

For our 3' tree he bought a 96' string of lights. I'll post a photo went we get them on. His idea is "if we have enough lights we don't need no stinkin' ornaments."

So, I went back to town today without him to look for the rest of what I wanted. I didn't get any ornaments but, I did get a tree skirt, 3 stockings, and some tins for packing cookies for gifts. I looked for stocking holders but, holy cats! There is no way I'm spending that much on them! I'm using those hooks that stick to the wall.

I also got a bunch of my gifts wrapped today. Boo yah! :)
