Admittedly, this collage has nothing to do with the holidays, but I’m using it for this post anyway. Because I can.

Wishing you and yours all the love, peace, and contentment you can handle in the coming year. I’ll see you in 2009.

i need some more shelf space

I’ve always wanted one of these awards that are passed from blogger to blogger. And now I have one thanks to Valaine.

mine! all mine!

Rules are to show the award, link to the giver, pass it along to 7 others, and let them know it by commenting on their blogs.

I need to think of some deserving recipients because someone on to whom I was going to pass this has not only already received one, but also has handed it out to several of the people in my short list. So, in the meantime, check out Nici’s blog and her recipients.

i’ve still got something up my sleeve

Remember that thing I had up my sleeve? Well, it’s going to remain there for a bit because I’m spending a few days in the bush this week. The opportunity arose and I had to take it. No, really, I had to.

I hope that you all have a great rest of the week and a relaxing weekend. I should be back by then, but who knows. My return is dependent on four-legged creatures and they are unpredictable.

I hate to leave you all hanging, so below the fold is another sneak peak of that thing up my sleeve. There are some other hints around too. I’m sure that you’ll sniff them out quite easily.

so far, better

Our stuff arrived last Wednesday. Most of it is still in boxes.

The modem with crap-arsed installation disc arrived today. The modem is on the desk. The installation disc is in the garbage.

I’m still revising. I’m tempted to put the diss in the garbage with the installation disc.

Details at some random point in the future. In the meantime, check out the macro on our new camera!

And check out our half-unpacked boxes!

There will be painting pictures next week. The lime sherbert in the bedroom has to go!

testing

There’s a new header because I think we have a new season here. I’m going to hedge my bets a little because Nici crowed about spring and look what happened.

coming soon

I promise.
