ten completely random thoughts.

1. ZJ, as she opened the door to walk outside for the bus:  "Wow!  It's warm out here!"  And she's right, it is!!! It's twenty-seven degrees out there!  And a storm expected before the afternoon!  Happiness! They said last night that we could get up to half a foot.  I'll take it with gladness!
2. My favorite niece, Jocelyn, is getting married in March.  I get to help with her wedding plans!  Something fun in the works to look forward too...the wedding and the planning.
3. I worked on my 2012 at a glance for the third  time last night.  And my laptop dumped it as I was putting pictures in.  Seriously.  I'm beginning to wonder if it's meant to be.
4. It's the weekend!  I still love Doug's four day work weeks all weekend long.  I just don't love them on work days when he has to go to bed at 8.
5. Last night, in the middle of the night, a spider landed on my face.  I felt something, slapped and ...EWWWW!  I no likee spiders.  Or being awakened in the night to wash my face and hands.  EEEWWWW again!Publish
6.  When my knees are completely recovered, I'm going to learn to dance Gangnam Style!
7. I finished another scarf last night and am now officially yarnless.  I've gone through a dozen skeins of yarn in two months.  Oh, how happy I am to have learned to knit!
8. Downton Abbey.  I love it.  Just sayin'.  I honestly think that it's one of the best things I've ever watched on TV.  I hope that the quality continues!
9. The paint colors I'm leaning toward...soft sage green kitchen or buttery yellow.  The rest of the upstairs living areas, soft buttery yellow or very light brownish tan.  LIGHT.  I am getting excited!
10. Life is good.

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth,
for the touch of a friendly hand
and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.

I just started watching Downton Abbey season 1 on Netflix. Love it! I think it was you mentioning it that got me interested enough to check into into watching it.

Sophia - those are EXACTLY the colors in my house, sage, butter yellow, and khaki -- more exactly the sage is from Lowes (Crocodile tears), the yellow also from lowes (Belgian Waffle) and the khaki which is a tan with a sage undertone, very subtle, is from Home Depot (called Oat Straw) - just thought I'd share.

Watched Downton Abbey for the first time Sunday night and loved it! Can't wait to get caught up on previous seasons. Looking forward to seeing the transformation of your house. I just know it will turn out beautifully! :-)

Downton Abbey.... Watched it for the first time this week... Coudnt't get into it, I guess I will have to watch the first episodes from previous seasons. And usually I like this type of British shows. I will have to give it another chance.

That two hour Downton Abbey was the best. I want to watch it again. I loved Shirley Mac Claine in it too!
Happy New Year Sophia!
