Game Night

Enjoying the group with games & wine...

Mom's Trip to Florida

My mother recently went to Florida for a week....

Niagara Falls, Canada

Spent the afternoon and evening in Niagara Falls, Canada with James.  Checked out the sights on Clifton Hill, even if it was incredibly cold.  Bought a funpack ticket to do amusement games, mini-golfing, ferriswheel, roller coaster & wax museum.  Was a wonderful day.  Even had a great steak and baked chicken wing dinner at Boston Pizza.  After, we hit the duty free shop and each bought $100US worth of alcohol for the upcoming parties.

Parties / Dancing / Drinking

Love....

Running

These warm days bring a smile to my face.. as I take advantage and run my heart out..

Volleyball Fridays

Even if I'm no longer on the volleyball team, seeing them in action for the first time in a long while was nice....

Wednesday Night Dinners

As part of one of my New Year's Resolutions, I am making a delicious home cooked meal on Wednesdays..... part of my way to try and connect more with the process.

Schitzo

Gave Ashley a new scratching post for Christmas... with organic cat nip...  AND SHE LIKES IT.

Present Wrapping

Well, I'm gonna give up on wrapping this year. Square boxes shouldn't be this hard to wrap...

James & Ja'von, enjoying some bonding time at the Olive Garden. :)

New Dishasher

Guess what!? I installed a new dishwasher... myself!  After taking the other one out several weeks ago, my counter space has had a large hole in it.  It was quite an experience.. but I did it! And it works wonderfully.

Annual Holiday Game Night

Our annual game night holiday party was a resounding success.  It's great to catch up with old friends, great gamers and play some party games. Some come for the games... I come for the people! This year had special meaning, and it was a wonderful time.

Holiday Shopping

I decided this year to gift wines and chocolates to my closest friends.  The best part of this are the tastings!  I personally tasted every wine and chocolate... deciding which would be best for which person.  I loved it.  Maybe spent wayyyy too much on fine wines and fine artisan chocolates.. but it was worth it!

Christmas Parties Afoot

Dave & Paul's annual Christmas party was a resounding success.  Had a ton of fun with a ton of great people...!

Family Birthdays

Lest not forget the happy birthdays of our kin... to my mother & cousin, Happy Birthday! (It was NOT Nola's birthday.)
