How was Christmas you ask?? Well a continuation of my last "missive" - summed up - we are all sick, REAL sick,, two trips to the emergency room, three prescriptions for antibiotics, one sick guest from the US of A (we love ya and miss ya Lynnipooh!) many loads of laundry and 13,462 boxes give or take a few...of tissues and a partridge in a pear tree! Mac is recovering from a horrid round of pneumonia, with a twinkle returning to his eye this morning! I reckon he got really sick around the 20th of Dec...so it's been many weeks now!!
And now it's behind us! Thank goodness!! Tough to get into the spirit, with beautiful decorations hung with care, the most delicious chocolates which are hard to taste when your sinuses are raging, two amazing trees and about 58 appearances by the Big Elf in Red. Ho-ho-holy Moly!!!
So on my Christmas wish list for 2017, I would like to replace THIS (Santa and his fans - and he has thousands of them!) for Feet up by the pool with Palm Trees!!Is that too much for a Claus Widow to ask for?? Of course I want Santa's feet in the picture as well!
And no, no Red Velvet White Fur Trimmed holiday wear - in fact maybe we'll dye our hair black...hahahaha
Else where in the news - life as a consultant is sure slow. However, hope looms on the horizon with three excellent job leads, two of whom have expressed interest in making me their employee!! Watch for updates friends!
Have you heard the pipes, the pipes are calling! Well this Wednesday January 25th 2017 it's Robbie Burns Birthday - ahhh yes, another wonderful lad born in the first month (Along with hubby and with my friend Gman) but for Burns, ur home celebrates the entire week! Starting with a proper Scottish Breakfast on Sunday with black puddin', fried mushrooms and of course Haggis! With egg rolls?? And a wee dram perhaps. Well did ya know this year, it's Chinese New Year's on the 25th as well. And did you know there is a Chinese Tartan?Aye - we met a lovely man who wore his striking tartan when we took highland dance classes!
So one and all Happy Burns Day... tonight it's Fish & Chips, tomorrow maybe a nice Curry? All Scot Favorites! Get out those sporans, pour a wee dram of something smooth and toast to the Bard!
Here's to a 2017 that is prosperous, healthy, full of friends and safe riding ahead!!
Slainte!
