Simply Ages...take a deep breath...

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted. Yes, Christmas has come and gone. I miss it, It didn't even feel like it was here when it was here. I suppose a lot of that has to do with my Dad being gone. I thought it was supposed to get easier, but instead, I think I miss him even more. I love you Dad. We all miss you so much.
Now I will try to get back to topics...
Managed to get most of my Christmas presents made that I planned on. There were a couple that will have to be birthday presents, the time just wasn't there when I needed it.
Can't wait for winter to be over. Come on Spring. We need some flowers and lots of sunshine. Well we did get some sunshine a couple days ago. Life is good..it could be so much worse. We could be homeless and without any family...so I will smile and be cheerful and life will get better. Do you hear me out there. It will be what we make it.

Phew!!!! Another Black Friday over and done. Are you a Black Friday shopper? I do not have the patience to wait in those horrifically long lines. It amazes me that anyone does. Now some of the deals I admit are very good, but I would just have to go without. I wait until the rush is over, and if it is left then I will get it, and if its not well...too bad for me.
Today is another wonderful day with a clean slate for me to fill. I am excited to see what wonders will unfold.
Have a beautiful day after black Friday everyone.

Thanksgiving

Wow...had a wonderful thanksgiving day. Was a little tired...but the who wouldn't be. All my food turned out great, except the brown and serve rolls that I burned on the bottom and were as hard as rocks...oh well something had to go wrong...LOL!!!
At least it wasn't something important.
Thank you Lord for a wonderful day. Missed my Dad something fierce, but I know that he would have been proud of us and happy that we were happy.
Well, off to work for the "yearly event " at wally world. I hope everyone gets what they need to start off their Christmas shopping.
Have a wonderful day all...I am planning on it.

Woo hooooooo Turkey day is almost here. How am I going to manage that with this bypass surgery????? Should be interesting...LOL!!! I will just have to be a good girl, and have a bite of 5 or 6 things! No matter what, the food will be good and the company will be better. I will be having dinner with my family. That is something to be grateful for.
I will miss my Dad. Holidays are just not quite the same without him, but we still love and miss him. We find it helps to talk about him. I think it makes us feel like even though he isn't with us in body, he is still there in our hearts.
Mom is still with us, and though she is in a lot of pain she still seems to be in good spirits most of the time. Thank you Lord for giving us more time to spend with her. We are grateful for every single day.
Enjoy your turkey everyone. Have a happy turkey day.

Just a quick note...to say hello...and thank God I am alive. I had a few bad days last week...won't go into details, but just suffice it to say....I am glad it's over. Now life it good...Christmas is coming, and after today I am off for two days. Yay!!!! That means I get to spend time with family, and maybe friends. Those are the best times...and I love spending time with family and friends. Life is good, God is great...and I am looking forward to this day. Smile everybody...it is catching.

Here goes another quick update on the life and times of Darlene. It is going to be another beautiful day...I just know it. Off to work, then a housewarming party for a friend with my sister...and then bed so I can off to work tomorrow...LOL!!!! Sounds fairly painless. No crafts to post...I have to take time to take the pictures. Sometimes...there is so much to do and just not enough time...but that means I am not bored. Don't you agree? Have a happy day all.

Christmas present

These are my felt cupckes. Don't they look good enough to eat? I have named them lemon meringue, red velvet, keylime, vanilla delight, and dark chocolate cream and milk chocolate cream...what do you think? Isn't some little girl going to just have a ball playing with these? Tea party here we come.
