These are the piggies of a purple princess - the night before her birthday - having a wonderful time while Stacy and I slave over the cake - it was so cute and delicious too. The party was a success and the purple satin cape I made her was a hit - I need to get a better picture of it.
Then there was Thanksgiving - I cooked a very good meal - if I do say so myself - with one big exception - my pies were AWFUL. My pecan pie didn't ever set up - but it looked pretty and I over seasoned my Pumpkin Praline pie - nasty! I took only one picture all day - it was of my daughters appetizers - so I won't share it!
Now - it is Christmas time - the most happiest time of the year! NOT ! I am starting to feel the stress of it all already - too many thoughts running in my tired brain - do this - do that - make this - make that for her. Do you listen to the voices inside your head? My inner self is not my friend. I have just about figured out how to work on the "level of Priority " - what has to be done today - tomorrow - and what can I put off until next week. As always, life goes on whether I am ready for it or not. I wish I had the energy I had 25 years ago to keep up with all the ideas I can come up with in my head today. So I am going to try real hard to keep the spirit of the sharing, giving and gratitude, and try to not beat myself up over everything else. Who knows - maybe someday I will really bare my soul!
What ever state of mind your in - I hope you are productive and happy. Have a great day.
