Jan 27


Since there was a threat of an ice/winter storm, I had to hook up the phone with a cord, just in case the power went out.

I have been fighting a cold and today was one of those days where I just wanted to stay in bed. Sore and achey all over. Blech!

So, who's up for a game of Clue? Board games a some of the best family together time there is. We had so much fun!

Today, I am sharing a scan instead of a photo. This is my page for the sketch at
http://52sketches52weeks.com/ for week #3. The photo is from Eric and my wedding.

I FINALLY got this tree down. I have been putting it off and putting it off, and so tired every time I've been home. Well, I fianlly just sucked it up and got it done. I couldn't stand looking at it in the living room any more!

My favorite part of the day, I'm almost ashamed to say, is just after they go to sleep- the house is so peaceful and quiet!

Got to have my lotion! I must have lotion for my hands and feet- the thicker and creamier, the better. Can't make it through a day without lotion!

Some pictures from my TV screen:
















Today was a great day for our country! Tears filled my eyes as I watched history unfold, and thought about the awesome burden that is being laid at our new President's feet. I am so touched by the amount of emotion that is so evident on so many faces as they witness what they thought would never happen.It is especially touching to see the older black people who had to struggle in the civil rights movement, and not be afford the same rights as others. I can't help but think that this is the day that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. hoped and prayed for. But while we have come far, I hope we do not stop here, and carry on until we all can truly walk as one people.
















I have to say, this was one of my favorite (and most touching) moments of the day. Beyonce did an incredible job singing the Etta James' song, "At Last", which was mine and Eric's song for our first dance at our wedding. The First Couple looked amazing, and again, it was so touching to watch the emotions on people's faces.

I colored my hair today- trying to get back to my natural color-I'm getting closer! This, by the way, is the best smelling stuff I have ever used!
