Sunday Ramblings: Back Peddling, Farms, Wrestling, Wrapping

Look at these beauties! They're coming soon to a closet near me! Aren't they lovely?Living as we do in the Zone of Perpetual Rain, I think they're a sound investment. Not only that, they're cute as cute can be.

While I sit with my laptop and a cuppa on this misty afternoon, I thought I'd babble. Don't mind do you?
First, the back peddle: After a rare Friday evening spent at home by myself with the kids (Fridays are usually off limits for picture scheduling) while Daddy P shot a college graduation, I ended up with my laundry washed and folded and put away before the weekend ever started. I'm such a good girl, I know. I made a fire while the laundry churned, ordered a pizza, and spent a cozy Friday evening at home. Daddy P and I spent the entire day in town on Saturday. The weather was cold and rainy, but it was superb shopping weather, if ya ask me. We had an awesome lunch at the tea room. Chicken salad, Victorian soup, hot tea and a buttermilk scone. Oh, it was good. We're about as anal as they come, so we had a list and a plan and had our list knocked out by supper time. We had dinner and followed it up with a trip for coffee/hot chocolate and a pass thru the book store. It was a very fun day, and I think Santa picked up what I asked for this year! Oh, it's lovely, isn't it?

Farms: DaddyP and I have hatched, hashed, discussed, planned, and plotted for several years about where we'd like to end up. What I love most about DaddyP is that we're on the same page when it comes to being up for anything and making a goal. We love having work to do and project to work on together. And not to mention, I miss cows. Crops. Dirt. What do we both want? Land. Where? We aren't sure yet, but we're feeling led to one day end up on a chunk of land where we can put a house and possibly a horse or 2 and maybe even a cow or 10. Definitely, definitely chickens. Guineas to be exact. Pretty little hens to wander in my garden. Squeee! It's our plan, really. We're not sure when or where, but it's what we're working towards. It's definitely on the radar. When the right place shows up, we'll find it. Wherever it is.

Wrestling: My boys have taken to wrestling. This is what boys do with their free-time, you see. It's bound to happen. And despite the difference in their ages, what one lacks in age, he makes up for in spit & vinegar. This afternoon, we learned Self Defense 101. Never underestimate a well placed kick or evasive dodge and sweep of the feet. IT was a jolly good time. Jolly good. Now I'm tired and recovering on the couch.

Wrapping: Well, as I stated earlier, we started and finished our Christmas shopping yesterday. You thought perhaps that I'd be sequestered in my room with the wrapping paper and tape? Hahha, sillly people. But yeah, I should be. Perhaps later. It's calling me. For the first time in years, I've actually saved the Sunday comics from the entire year in order to my wrapping! It's something that I've always said that I would do, but it's never really happened until now. Go me! Maybe I should get started....yeah. Maybe I should.
