There Are Times I Like Winter

First things first, I have to say, "Thank You, for all the well wishes and that sucks." 

I was rolling out of a parking space slowly because the car to my right was huge and I couldn't see anything. Which explains why I rolled right into the car driving past.  No one was hurt the cars didn't even jerk. There was no damage to my car at all.  The other car's passenger door was bent in. There wasn't even a visible scratch.

Hopefully, it is an easy fix for them.  I am feeling bad that it is something that they have to deal with. Feeling like an idiot.  

It was great to read everyones idiot moments.  

Made me feel better. 

Sometimes I think there is something wrong with the fact that other's idiot moments make me feel better.

Second, thing second.

There are times I like the winter and the snow.

For example days like today.

The sky is a beautiful blue, the snow is melting, the high is 44.  Which may sound cold but it feels blissfully warm.

I could handle winter if it would stay this way.

It is even pretty outside.

So in true Krissi fashion I went outside for some shots.

What do you think?

This look is why people don't like cats.  This look is why I like cats.  It just says, "Really, really, you want to mess with me. Just walk a way." I want to master this look.

Here is my rose flower bed.  They are there somewhere. Promise.

welcome

I just liked this shot of the welcome sign by my front door.

Here is a shot of the beautiful sky I told you about.  Doesn't it look heavenly? I love clouds. Especially, when there is no snow in sight.

This is just a shot of a bush.  Very exciting. Right?

You just made me shiver a bit with that last photo.

Since I missed the "hey, I'm an idiot too" comments, I thought I should fess up. I am an idiot too! I have backed into a couple metal posts in carports, dividing parking lots, etc, and that was bad. However, far worse was when I backed into the little cart-thingy that helps grocery workers gather the shopping carts into those ridiculously long cart-trains. Banged the heck out of my bumper. Luckily, I drive a Saturn most of the time. So, that huge dent (huge-huge dent... stinkin' plastic car can't take any strain) popped right out. If only it hadn't crumpled the paint on the bumper.

You are not alone in your moment of D'OH!

LOVED the snow today too! It was so pretty outside! I just wanted to stay out to look at the huge mountains all around us! I even turned off the heater inside for a while and opened up windows ... until it was too chilly inside and had to close up again. the 40's do seem warm already to us too!

I'd love to have your camera! Your pictures look great! I took one to show my family at home what pretty views we have here but it did no justice to the real thing. Glad your accident was a little one!

I agree that it was nice also. I actually kept going outside to shovel, pretty much nothing, but it was nice to be outside. I just kept braking ice up from our drive way. WEEEEEE.

I love that cloud shot, it's great! It's so dramatic and perfect.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Fantasy Land

The writer of this blog is currently in fantasy land. Meaning there will be no post as she is to busy pretending that she is on the sunny, care free, warm beaches of Hawaii. Apparently she is also under the delusion she looks smoking hot in a bikini and can currently (in the world of fantasy) be found on the beaches of Oahu sporting a bikini top and a grass skirt. Further evidence of how deeply she has entered fantasy land includes some very cute natives making sure her umbrella drinks are full and sunblock applied. The only thing she would like to mention to those of you still dealing with the real world and the endless hours of kids and summer vacation. "The water here is perfect and the sunsets are to die for please feel free to join me."

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
