As I write this, it's Tuesday afternoon and I'm sitting on the couch with two pups and a peppermint mocha, looking at the Christmas tree covered in pretty lights.
Bug's warm little butt is snuggled next to me and she's got me thinking. Decorating is hard work. A nap sounds good.
Technically, I'm still sick and rest is the best thing. So I'll finish my peppermint mocha and nap to the sound of swish-swashing laundry, and snoozing pups.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen there's a homemade apple pie cooling and a loaf of smooch bread the first rise. More on those another day. Right now there's a Santa blanket and a big couch, calling my name.
You've got your Xmas tree up already?

Nothing better in the world than having a nap while snuggling with a pup or a cat.
Sure, why not? Life is short, I say enjoy the heck out of it whilst we can.
DeleteI agree, they love to snuggle. Makes it hard to get up and get things done sometimes, but that's okay too.
Cheers and boogie boogie.
Crap, might as well go for the really bad news...
ReplyDeleteGo snooze with the pups.
And it was a good snooze that that.
DeleteHahaha! I love the 'dear husband' note... Perfectly legit. Christmas lights rule...
ReplyDeleteDecorating sure is hard work. But it's fun, too. Especially when you get the Christmas wonderland up and running.
I love when it's done and I get to sit on the couch and drink something warm and look at the lights.
DeleteDo you do that? So relaxing.
Is there really any bad news associated with a game box? Yeah, you can tell I care about them, huh? Whereas my son would beg to differ. :)
ReplyDeleteI can tell that you don't care about them. Which is understandable if you're not into games.
DeleteWe want to see the extravaganza!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Will send you photos. It's very simple but sooooo cozy.
DeleteLove all the pictures on your blog. And the foods you mention. To die for.
Thanks Ivy♥️
DeleteSo show us the chocolate cream pie and talk about something different! Sounds as though you have been energetic enough for a sick person, a nap is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteHey Jo - How goes the bowling today? Congrats on getting better than last week. Cheers and boogie boogie.
DeleteYour tree is up?
ReplyDeleteSure, why not? Life is short so I say, enjoy, enjoy, and then enjoy some more.
DeleteLove the note to your hubby!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norma. Feels like we haven't chatted in awhile. Hope all is well on your end.
DeleteFeel better soon! I'm looking forward to decorating for Christmas. And, I want that chocolate cream pie, please….
ReplyDeleteElsie
Thanks, Mock Turtle. Hope all is well on your end and that no one has colds. One slice, coming up.
DeleteHow much trouble could that possibly cause to the xbox?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha.
DeleteI want that chocolate cream pie. Want it bad.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen Holly's book? She's got a load of fun bakes in there. Yummy, too.
DeleteSounds heavenly :)
ReplyDeleteIt is. Relaxing and heavenly.
DeleteA nap always sounds good and so does peppermint mocha.
ReplyDeleteGreat new cover, Susan. Hope you sell bunches and bunches.
DeleteChristmas is the only time where trees go inside and lights go out
ReplyDeleteIt's the best.
DeleteLove the note !
ReplyDeleteToo perfect !
cheers, parsnip
Thanks, Parsnip. Just got back from your place. Great photos. Loved the Halloween sushi. And it looks like you had a great time with your friend. Very cool. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.
DeleteI meant to ask... what is the crust on the cream pie. Is their a lemon one lurking somewhere ?
DeleteFunny you should say lemon, I just asked my husband tonight if he wanted a lemon pie.
DeleteThe crust in that pie is flour, non-hydrogenated shortening, sugar and water. I'm still working out the kinks on the crust though. The filling for that pie was Holly Sinclair's chocolate filling.
Hope you are feeling better soon and I am so glad the magic of Christmas is around you keeping you cozy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzie. It's those lights. I tell ya, I love the glow. So pretty.
