Happy New Year- 3 no 2 things to take note of

First, I just want to say that Walgreen's has got it going on.
I bought 3 pre-wrapped dark chocolate Whitman's Sampler
boxes and 3 pairs of fuzzy socks. They are also where I go
when I'm have a toe sock craving. Unfortunately none of these items ever made it to their intended. Because I ate the chocolate and wore the socks.

Second, how do I make the word 'Walgreen's' linkable? 
I can type the address in but how do i make just the word a link? 
Oh wait. I just figured it out. (palm hits face)

Second, I just checked my cupboard and refrigerator and
I see I have all the necessary ingredients for crepes. Yaaayyy.
So I made the crepes, only to discover that there is...
no maple syrup.
NOOO000oooo.
Not that.
(going into downward spiral of maple syrup withdrawal)
 Then my significant other came home and I told him about my dilemma. I told Him that I was so sure I had a bottle of maple syrup.Do you know where it is? Where could it be? He said, "Well, let's go look." Then He opens the first cupboard door
(that I just looked inside of twice), stands on His tiptoes and  magically deliciously finds the bottle of maple syrup.
I promptly declared my love to my love. "I love you, maple syrup."

Cool Blogs to had by All

You know what I like about blogger.com
At the top of everybody's blog are the options to:
Follow, Share, or go on to Next Blog. That is so cool!

I love seeing what the next blog will be.
I love going on this mini exploration right here at my fingertips.
Learning new things, meeting new people,
and all of this happens in the confines of my living room.

Blog Finding Mssion I-a

I forgot to post my most favoritest website. etsy.com
I don't know what I was thinking. Must have been that holiday stress.
Even though all of my handmade gifts were well appreciated this year;
punctuated with many oohs and aahs; I actually think I can do better.
Next year I'll make a check list to keep better track. I was also hoping to have leftovers to play with and improve upon.  I think this coming year is going to be a good one. Year of the hippity hoppity Rabbit, here I come.

Things to be Thankful For:

First, (and the most obvious, I think) breathing.
I am thankful to be still breathing.
Second, I'm  thankful for my undemanding family, for giving me space and time to discover what I really want in this life I am privileged to be a part of.
I am also thankful for having a very wonderful, accepting, and understanding man in my life. Thank You, I Love You.
Third, I am thankful for my friends which are my second family. You see me at my worst and you're still here to stay. Thank You; All of you. I love you too.
Tomorrow I return to work after a lovely 4 day weekend. I sketched some designs this weekend, caught up on all my TV shows, washed massive amounts of laundry, did some rearranging of the central room layout and feel ready for next weekend. Ha-ha, guess I'll have to get through this week first. :)
