Hi kids! *waves*

I've been MIA, down for the count, out of it. I totally missed the 12th day stuff, I've been....yeah. Missing.

Nothing dire, just life. Yanno? Another (yes, yes, I made a doctor's appointment) uti, new glasses that are kicking my butt (progressives, getting old ain't for sissies!) and dealing (albeit long distance) with my stepmom and her shenanigans. Yikes!

I'm adjusting to my glasses, uti is under control, mom (I call her mom) is settling in to her new routine and the two step sibs have each other's backs. When life isn't going well, I tend to hibernate and just...not. Now I'm back to being me and life doesn't look so dim. Cycles.

The upside is I've been reading like mad. I'm on my 9th book this year (which, yeah, but I'm just getting started!) and I have two more on hold at the digital library. I have plans to reread a bunch of stuff I have here, so that's a go. I'm still making bears and boobs for charity and that's good as well.

I also deleted (geez, it's been over a year!) all the old yoga stuff. Trying super hard to just let all that go. Not worry about "them". I started back at a new place once a week. That is refreshing to get another yoga perspective. I'm still dithering whether I'll continue my personal teaching once His Lordship retires. Right now, I'm leaning toward not, but we'll see. His original plan was to retire around his 60th b-day (a year from May) but now he's thinking he doesn't want to do another winter of getting up in the dark, shoveling out and driving with idiots up the highway. Again, we'll see.

The Heir is in Cabo this week with his gf's family. He's having a fantastic time. They have lots (and I do mean LOTS) of money so they are at a fancy, all inclusive resort right on the beach. He's called me 3 times just full of himself (and the free wifi!). Silly boy. He made an interesting, spur of the moment comment that went something along the lines of "...I'm marrying money...". o-O

We'll see is my new mantra.

I'm making corned beef, et.al. today and The Spare is supposed to show up. I also made a new recipe: Bailey's Chocolate Chip pound cake. It smelled divine baking, I hope it tastes as good. His Lordship's pal W is coming over as well.

So that's my story. Sorry, again, for not commenting or writing. Sometimes a girl has to chill.

Smooches to all!

Sorry this is sideways, haven't figured out how to turn them!

What I did today!

I've been searching the interwebz and finally found where I can watch GBBO on the computer. I'm totally unspoiled as to the season 8 winner, so please....don't tell me. I watched the first episode tonight and was quite pleasantly surprised at liking the new hosts/judge. I really like this show and look forward to watching more tomorrow.

I've been working on my crocheting for the craft show, using up yarn. I've decided to start things at $10 and then after an hour drop everything to $5.00. I really want to move this stuff. (and hopefully I haven't said this all before! *iz old*)

I made a most delicious dinner of thick cut boneless porkchops, roasted Brussels sprouts with sriracha mayo and home made biscuits. I'm a very full, very happy girl.

Ta!

It's been a while since I've been crafty. I was asked to make mermaid tail otter pop holders. I guess it's a thing. I had some leftover yarn from the actual mermaid tails and since it was for those particular girlies...here ya go!
