:wreath:
Just another fly-bye! Have walked this am, and shovelled snow...lots of cardio. Groomed one of my Mom's dogs...and am off to look for snow boots. Must work at 4:30.... :tree: We got 4 inches last night! :hohoho: |
:hohoho:
We must be in the pre-holiday crunch! I hope all are well! :snowglo: :snow4: |
Diet Maiden Am be verrra well this sparklin' Arizona morn, Sword Bearer! Huzzah!
Nice to have the ability to once more access the palace as I just happened on a partial postie from the top o' the thread wherein this was called "our sacred journey," for me that is very true when it comes to weight loss/maintenance and fitness. I intend to reach the destination, which is my goal o' the wild 125 (reached it once, gained 10 pounds seemingly overnight and have been hackin' away at that for a month or so). This week is my big WINTER SOLSTICE weigh-in Sunday. We shall see. I hope to have lost something, anything, just a tad, a wee bit, but if not a loss, then hope to be visited by the Maintenance Angel! I like her a lot, too! :lol: Worked four hours this morning, as well as having done an hour of weights, so now must rest up for working tonight. Joys of the season. Fa la la! |
Merry and bright!
Well, merrier and brighter! I pulled myself, kicking and screaming, onto the wagon yesterday and I've got the bumps, bruises and broken fingernails to prove it.
Ooooh, I had some BAD days. Stress, too much work, fatigue -- the usual suspects. And my drug of choice is always so readily available. Second day on plan down now and I'm getting into the new WW plan. DH's birthay party went well although I wasn't as prepared as I intended. Everyone had a good time anyway. Worked 11 hours today and, although things could have been better they could have been worse. I stayed in a pretty good mood all day, despite being chained to the computer. But -- it was a bright, sunny day :snowglo: and I should have gotten out for a walk. All day it was just one sprint to finish a task after another. But, happily, the bulk of my workload is finished for the week. On the bright side, I did walk to tai chi tonight, attended class and walked back again so exercise is not that bad for the day. Anagram, good for you stepping out of your comfort zone to go to festival of carols! I always find things like that daunting too but I'm finding it easier to make myself do them as I get older and then it feels less daunting. It IS lovely when I can venture out into what would once have felt uncomfortable and feel (mostly) at ease. Got a giggle out of your whoosh fairy toilet. Ceara, loved the sound of your rainy day! :chin: Other than the "going to work at four o'clock" thing, of course. Congrats to the champ! WSW, every warmish day is a treat now, isn't it. I love being able to step out the door without putting on coat and boots, gloves, hat, scarf. We had one of those days this week. :) Kat, I like your approach of only putting the special ornaments on the tree. I've got the decoration boxes in the dining room now and should really take them down to the cellar instead of just leaving them there until time to take the tree down. Which might have to be before New Years at the rate this baby's dropping needles. :wave: Janga -- fill us in on your adventures while on walkabout when you get a chance? Oh, mefinks it bes time for bed. :yawn: Sweet dreams, :queen:lies! |
Huzzah, Arabella! I know that drug of choice, which I tend to seek when in the field and on days when working from home. Have learned to go without for the most part, but t'is not always easy.
Ms. Diet Claus (aka Diet Wise Woman of whom Am has spoken before) is attendin' to the elves 'n the reindeer 'n last minute repairs on the toys for the good little diet girls 'n boys 'n t'is left to me, the Littlest Diet Elf in the place to mark off the days to the Solstice Weigh-In (a BIG holiday here in North Diet Pole) and remark that t'was the Night Before Today when we noticed we had finished the day with a cal count o' 1505 'n we also added 15 mins o' walkin' last night to our hour o' power (e.g., weights). We at the Diet North Pole, those of us named Am/Janga, are VERY extra busy doin' extra Black Lagoon (work) stuff so will not be doin' internet playtime much although we may sneak in when the Overseer is not lookin' (there is no overseer, only invisible people at the other side of computers waiting for stuff to be done, actually, but we like gettin' paid so probably we should just do it, or not, ah, decisions, decisions). Be that as it may, we have made a diet executive decision to maybe abstain from a workout today, not because of work but we think we may want to trick the bod into losing some weight (or maintaining) at the weigh-in on Sunday. So we'll just leave it up to fate if we want to take a walk/jog or do something else or do nothing or just be silent and soldier on. Transmission ends, film at 11. :ginger: |
Gadzooks, the solstice is gaining on us! I have been being fairly "GOOD" this week and have ADDED pounds. Usually when I struggle back to wagon I lose some of the fluffies.
No, I am not hitting the candy that's "in the house", nor eating the cookies. I did make lo-fat bran muffins this morning and may indulge in that later or may just go to Mall and walk around and take in "spirit" though that's been pretty good this year. I could have renewed by computer, ceara, had I not been too lazy to check due date. And still could have done so and paid up later but decided to just take everything back (won't read or listen much over next couple of weeks) and make an honest woman of myself. Fine was more expensive than I expected but it wasn't the money so much as I get terribly annoyed with Self when she doesn't stick to her accustomed habits - one of which is NOT to have "overdues" on anything. Expecting a little snow tomorrow, I hear, after tons of rain - I'd have been snowed in until April if it had all been snow. So will meander off now and see what else I can get into that won't cause me or the world harm. :wreath::wreath: :wreath: |
Hallo there, busy queens! I'm popping in to say "hey," and must be moving on... It's funny how my mellow thoughts of, "Oh, I still have time..." have somehow, suddenly morphed into "Uh oh...not much time left!!!" I have a few things to be done, but I refuse to stress about what may not get done. I have turned the WW gears up a notch, and am being near-angelic with food choices. Even when I do indulge, it is carefully considered, and measured, and if I can't measure, I KNOW it is less than would normally cross these lips! No weigh in this week, as there was no meeting at work due to the holiday party! (at which I was VERY angelic!) I did attend a meeting elsewhere, but did not weigh in... I'll just hold off to regular time and place. I'm liking the new 'Momentum' they've got going... what say you Arabella, oh fellow WWer?
Gotta run...I'm wishing all a lovely weekend and a peaceful, thoughtful Solstice... |
hi dear royals! hope everyone is having a good weekend. had a busy week, and having to lay low a bit this weekend. have been op. thinking i may be on another plateau, but will hang on by dainty regal fingernail, if necessary, because i plan to break through this latest weight "set point." i am determined! well, take care, all.
|
DEC 21 MANIFESTO:
This is the holiday (Solstice) that energizes me above all other days of the year, so despite not yet knowing what my weigh-in progress is (or is not, I'd be happy with a maintain) because I religiously adhere to the same weigh-in time of day and it is not yet that, I will survive and soldier on with this journey as it is important to me to live in the healthiest body I can manage, not to mention looking good in jeans as long as I live, which will be 120 or thereabouts because, pals, as a wise lady says a lot on another forum, life is good. And it's what we have so let's live it well. |
So glad to have your enthusiasm and determination back with us, Junga. And so proud of you, Kat & wsw, for your determination to get through this season in good shape.
Just a little bit of snow so far as befits the Solstice. Cooking ham & green beans and baked some sand tarts this a.m. Starting Tuesday, my house will have a swinging door but even with all the coming and goings, it looks like this will be another year when my kids won't hit at the same time. ;( However, they will hit and I'll be w/the Princesses at their Chimney when the Fat Fellow arrives. I read today a nutritionist's explanation that Santa isn't really that heavy, that he wears lots of thermals to combat the cold. Other quotes - Santa shares the reindeer's carrots, he eats cookies ONLY on Christmas Eve as that day he expends so much energy and needs the energy, that Mrs. C. keeps him fed very nutritious food the rest of the year, that he's active and very fit for his age. I'll worry about him a lot less this year ;) :santa: :santa: :santa: :santa: :santa: |
'Tis the solstice and we turn again towards the light
:snowglo: I have to say my behavior has been spotty. A couple of stellar days, a non-stellar day, a stellar day, a couple of non-stellar... Hoping it all balances out. Better than all :devil: all the time, anyway. ;)
I think we're beyond binges for the season, anyway, since I got through the two parties I was putting on. Nothing else will be so stressful and I DO still have time to do what I need to do yet so shall attempt to continue merry and bright. :xcheer: I had too much wine at a neighbours' gathering last night but I almost entirely avoided the Christmas treat-y food. However, I ate three sesame bars before I went. I think that the issue was that I'd been ravenous before I ate lunch and then my body still thought it needed to keep packing it in. Breaking news bulletin: Sheesh! I was just about to tell you that I'd successfully managed to get through 4+ days with carrot cake and ice cream in the freezer without succumbing. Then I went into the kitchen for something and thought -- seriously -- Hey! There's carrot cake and ice cream in the freezer! And I was just about ready to avail myself of same. Temporary insanity, I swear. Then I thought about the weight thing: My weight will be UP tomorrow if I give in. If I don't get a grip my weight will be up at WI. So. I didn't. Stay tuned for updates. :rolleyes: Janga, is that your pic as your avatar? Truly, thou art fab! WSW, didn't you just lose THREE pounds recently? Bet the fluffies are just waiting to fall off in another clump. :yes: Good for you staying OP -- huzzah! Kat, I've got to say I feel that this isn't the time to introduce changes to the program. Haven't they ever heard of New Years? :rolleyes: Just adding one more wrinkle to things right now is adding to my stress level which is making it harder to adhere. But I'm trying, and I do think it's going to work well once I get onto it. :woohoo: for your good behaviour though! :) Anagram, you don't deserve those pounds and so they must be gone from thee forthwith! Must say I feel like around here Self is just barely keeping it together. Lot of balls in the air this time of year and I feel like I'm dropping some. Just trying to keep the crucial ones up there. Ceara, Kaylets, Andria :wave: How goes it in your wings of the Palace? Cold but :sunny: here. DH and I went for our long Sunday walk and I guess we'll be heading out soon to do some shopping. Then I'm looking forward to some leisurely :gift: wrapping, listening to Christmas music, maybe doing some laundry. I want to buy copies of "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol." Even though it may be evil to spend money on Self :s: K, Dahlinks, I must be scootling! Let's make the most of today. :) |
Holey gadzooks, Robin, we've been visited by the maintenance angel again! :angel:
We'll get 'em next week, same bat time, same bat channel. :rofl: |
Anagram, thanks for the welcoming words and also the reassurance that Santa is ok as I do worry 'bout him sometimes. :)
Arabella, no, t'is just a random avatar I happened to find but it does look like me except for the hair color and length and I'm afraid that lass is a TAD bit younger, but I did pick it because I thought it looked like my body and also she is standing in a similar fashion to one of my favorite yoga poses (not classic yoga, but one recently made up by someone methinks, it is called "Morning Star" and I like it a lot, learned it in a class a few years back) Wsw! Hi! Yea to all, seems everyone is doing so well here as we soldier on through the holiday season. Congrats, Arabella, for catching self re the carrot cake. I do that a lot as well, just drift into the kitchen and reach for something that I'd already decided I didn't need, that's why I mostly just junk anything that's not in the plan at the moment. I do intend to lose a pound by the 28th and will let my goal stand as wanting to reach 125 (again), but that probably won't happen. Still and all, maintenance is good and I am happy with that, all things considered. Must away to have my one day off. |
Hmmm, I am testing something. Ignore me but hello all!
|
Merry Solstice!
:candy: Wishing all faire :queen:s a brightly burning Yule log, a starry night, a christmas carol serenade, peaceful thoughts, and everlasting joy! :xcheer:
:wreath: Love to all! :tree: |
a good evening to one and all! thinking of you. it is coooold here, and sitting at the computer, my frigid fingers are having a bit of a problem typing. so----- just popping in to say hope everyone is having a good holiday week thus far.

Greetings, Fair Royals -
Extending all sorts of Happy Wishes for all during the holiday season. I too have been successfully avoiding gift boxes of chocolates and candies in freezer and baked cookies, etc. However.......................ate out tonight with two sibs and their Prince Charmings and while I tried to fill up mostly on vegetables and eschewed a wide assortment of lovely looking breads, I still went way over the line as a whole. And tomorrow, DS and his DW arrive and the whirlwind begins. But I'm looking forward to my best Christmas in years and can wish you all nothing less than that. My palace attendance will be most erratic, I'm sure, but you will all be with me in thought while I try to at least keep GPS track of the wagon so I can attempt the occasional grab at it. In the meantime, all sorts of the LOVE, JOY AND PEACE that I wish you at all times but most especially at this Special Time. :wreath: :wreath: :wreath: :wreath: :wreath: |
Mornin' all....:hohoho:
Nice to see you all in the :ginger: palace and doing well! I've been quite busy shovelling :snow4: and reading....there are a few new muscles in my back that I forgot I had! The pre-Christmas rush is on...although I feel more prepared than I ususally do....I've actually wrapped a few things! Will finish this morning. That way I will be done! Have a great day....the days are getting longer, by the bye! :wreath: |
Good morrow, Royals!
So nice that the site o' the 3 Kindly Sisters here hath deigned to work so well for Janga so that she can now visit the Palace wherein of yore she under another guise used to dwelleth (or mayhap t'is a new program she hath recently put in, not sure, same computer, just works better on 3FC with the new account). This be also a flybye as there be muchly to do here 'n apologies for a me-me postie but Diet Maiden Am 'n the Exercise Elves 'n Ms. Diet Claus are trying to work their royal muscles 'n then must away in the rain to the Black Lagoon (work area that I cover) 'n then have a day OFF (hopefully). Janga be bloggin' her cals and exercise so shall spare ye details o' the food and workouts, but her NY's resolution is now in place, a simple one: BECOME MORE PHYSICALLY FIT! |
Fly by - am heading out for a few last minute things - cash, gas, beer, etc. Nice and sunny , not as cold as yesterday. Eating sparsely so far today but won't be enough to atone for last night.
As said, well - for now - 'tis what it is and Christmas is to be a happy time, no matter what else is not as we'd like. Whoosh, whoosh, and away - though 'tis me not the pounds! :santa: :santa: :santa: :santa: :santa: |
Fly-by
In case I don't get another chance:
May these days of celebration be Merry and Bright! Love to all! :tree: :gift2: :tree: :hohoho: :tree: |
Hello all,
How is everyone? Did I see a post by Janga?? wowee, how long have I been gone?? What a head cold I had! One eye-- so red puffy it was closed for nearly a whole day, remained puffy another....now I have a cold sore on my bottom lip that is making people say, "Ah.... does that hurt?"..... but am finally able to say "I feel better!!" So, my festivities had no time for "should I, shouldn't I?" First decision was final decision and so far, everyone who has already recvd their gifts by mail seems pleased. I continue my new obsession in family genealogy and am thinking I really am getting good at it..... hmmmm..... you know what they say... It's fun till you get paid and then it's work.... but honestly, I really can see a path.... either in a library doing research, etc, etc. as for food, I can truly say this.... For the first time in many, many years, I have eaten so much the past few days, I actually thought I had given myself a stomach ache..... Too much. Too much. Too much.... Dec 26 is the new Royal Resolution Day. And it will be a good thing!! Here's to all! Here's the best Christmas yet! And the best coming New Year too! I plan to keep popping in. I really like things better when I'm closer to the palace!!:hug::hug: |
:wreath::tree:Is it REALLY Christmas Eve? :yes: Well, I'd better get my festive wishes out to one and all before it's all over!
Have the merriest Christmas and the happiest New Year! Peace, love, happiness and joy to all! :candy::wreath: |
hi kaylets, janga, anagram, ceara, kat, andria, and arabella!!!! merry christmas to all! i hope it is an excellent one for everyone.
take care, lovely royals. much peace and joy to all. |
Merry Christmas to all who dwelleth herein!
Kaylets, t'is wonderful to see thee again! Merry Christmas! This is coincidental but I also have had a cold/sinus thing and one eye has been affected. This seems to be going around here in my area, but I also feel better, but still staying at home tonight and listening to music with the dog curled up by my side. I don't think she likes the music, though. |
Fly-bye! Hope everone had a great Christmas Day! Ours was busy and full of food....what else is new?
Today...back to the routine....am off for a walk shortly. :snow4: |
Happy Boxing Day!
:) I had to go to wikipedia to look up "Boxing Day." I had always associated it with the day after Christmas shopping for bargains... I did not realize that it started out as a day for giving to the less fortunate. Although, when you think if it this year, what with our sketchy economy, merchants can probably also be considered the 'less fortunate!'
Christmas was lovely and quiet, very low key. We opened presents Christmas Eve, since dh and dd had to work Christmas Day. I baked a ham and had with it a lovely assortment of veggies; mashed cauliflower (in lieu of potatoes :T ) roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, spaghetti squash. Nobody seemed to mind the lack of starches! Dessert was an apple crisp, made w/Splenda and topped with FF Cool Whip! :angel: I am DETERMINED to get through the rest of this year without gaining! I'm at work today... taking my lunch break now after a brisk 15 minute walk. It felt great to get out in the cold, fresh air and move my chubby little legs! I am hereby declaring this to be a new healthy habit, (weather permitting) for 2009. I have a friend here, with whom I love to have lunch with, but she is not into the lunchtime walk at all, and I've kind of fallen into that pattern too, thinking "Oh, I'll get to it later..." We all know about later, don't we? How it sometimes never comes? Yeah, that later! Anyway, from this day forward, she can join me if she likes, or not join me, but the walk is going to be non-negotiable. :running: Allright, back to work for me... I'll pop in tonight, or sometime over the weekend. Lovely that it's a Friday... it sure felt like a Monday this morning! |
Your menu sounds delicious, Katrinabgood!
Happy Boxing Day to all. I am officially shopping and not eating a lot (don't have an appetite, oddly) for a few days, no work except one short trip today. Wazzooo! I am looking forward to just getting on with life in 2009, just another little bit of merry making to go through! |
Hello all!
Yes, looking forward to bringing in the new and being removed from some of the old!~ Oh man, please don't ask me what I've been eating!!! I think today might be a good FRESH START. So far, I am on a perfect start so, hey, LET"S DO THIS THING!!!!!!!! So glad to see so many posts from so many !! I admit I don't know anything about Boxing day either.... So.... HERE WE GO FRESH START, HERE WE GO!!!! :hug: |
Happy Almost New Year's to all the Royals who dwelleth herein. :wave:
And yea, Kaylets, time for a fresh start and fresh air, at least in my personal palace, which I am trying to declutter for New Year's or thereafter. Lost a pound of the regain weight 10 that I've been working on getting off since November, three more pounds to back to goal! Huzzah! I am starting my Project Janus Initiative, five weeks of focusing heavily on fitness and weight loss whilst trying to live the rest of my life as well and get through some patches of things! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday week! See ya! |
I was out wandering the woods on this fair winter's night and saw the light from the palace window, thought I'd stop to wish you all the best of the holiday season. It has been far too long since my path took me by way of the Royal Grounds.
So much has happened this last year...I am a new grandma to the most beautiful little girl the world has ever been blessed with. She is 4 weeks and 1 day old today. A fresh start is imminent in the Wild World, and I figured the New Year would be bringing a new thread...leave breadcrumbs and I will follow! |
A "semi-normal" day today...This is the plan. Walk, groom and work! A normal Monday! Only a few more days to 2009! Who'd have thought!
Congrats on the grandbaby Wildfire..nice to see you here! Good going on the :dance: down Janga! You will do this! We've had unseasonally warm weather here...with rain. It looks not bad now, so I will walk... Have a great day all! Back on the wagon! |
:flame: Yes, Wildfire, there is always a light on for long lost friends, happy wanderers, and weary stragglers! Congratulations on your 'New Grandma' status! How wonderful for you!
So all, the wagon is loading up...ALL ABOARD! No matter what your holiday was like... :devil: or :angel: Fresh Start cards are being handed out to one and all! Declare your New Year intentions, climb aboard, and let's see what this New Year's gonna bring! Wow, that sounds like New Thread material... should I start a new one? Mayhaps I will do just that on the 1st. Unless faire Arabella would like the honours... she always does such a lovely starter! (like my underhanded attempt at drawing you out, A?) ;) Actually, I'm hoping to draw ALL queens out of hiding... Let's face the New Year together, faire :queen:s... there's safety in numbers! |
:hat:Have a busy day lined up....so I will wish you all happiness, health and peace for the incoming year! :woo:
Happy New Year! :celebrate: :cheers: |
hi wildfire-so nice to see you. congrats on your new grandbaby!
hello to ceara, kat, arabella, janga, kaylets, anagram, andria, and all our loverly royals!! :) i wish everyone a happy, healthy, and peaceful 2009! had a nice christmas at good friends' home, with lots of kids, adults, noise, and great fun. can hardly believe 'tis the end of another year already. i say this every single year, of course, but it feels true every year. i have been hanging on to food and exercise plan. lost 3 lbs (now 222.) have de-cluttered another closet, and moved around some pictures/prints on my walls recently. now i have one wall which needs something, but will live with it as-is for a while until i can feel what really belongs there. i hadn't planned to move things around when i started but it just felt like i am preparing for the new year, and some good changes, so i went with it. well, my dear queens, happy new year!!!! |
Hello all!
Wildfire! Congrats to you and yours! What a wonderful holiday you are having! You sound as though you are floating! WSW: congrats on your amazing loss! I am jealous of your closet too! Katrina: sounds like an ideal thread start!! :) Janga: I'm looking forward to your January posts! Always fun to see what you will devise! And good for you on getting those "temp" pounds to drop. Ceara: How goes it?? We could use that warm weather tonight, the wind is blasting and its COLD!!!!!!!!!! Anagram: I know its cold your way too! How did the princesses fare this holiday? And you too? WoodNymph: How goes it in your palace? I know you have lots to share! **** Yes, I am coming on board too! I have had enough and am ready ! We spend NY's quietly... inside.... in our area tonight we have crazy wild winds and many, many homes are without power. DH picked me up from work and suddenly, lots of traffic lights were out, stores, restaurants, etc were dark, dark, dark. What a night to be without power!! Again, I think of how much I really do have in my palace. It might be a tad chilly but it is a very windy cold night and I am a tightwad. But I am grateful t hat I can turn up the heat if I want. Meanwhile, I will put on gym sox and my heavy robe. And in appreciating what I have in other ways, I have been thoughtless for too long. Lots of things for me to seriously consider this evening. Here's to the best year ever! :celebrate: |
Just a fly-bye to say how lovely t'is to see folkettes in the palace on this New Year's Eve! I had a nice day but am sinkin' into the usual malaise I experience on this night, howsomever t'will not move me to eat a bunch o' stuff, I am going to bed soon!
Wildfire, so nice to see thee and hear the news o' thy little grandprincess! Congratulations. Sword Bearer, Kaylets, WSW, Arabella, Katrina, anagram, andria and all royals that I may have missed since I was last able to access the palace under the old name, t'is great to "see" thee! Happy New Year to all! I am soldierin' away on the Janus project (looking back and looking forward, all at the same time) this day, walked three hours and am pooped, but t'was a loverly day here in my part o' the world, warm and green (after the sun came up, before that it was freezing). |
Happy New Year, Queenlies!
:cheers: :ginger:
Oy. Where have I been? Well, this has been the busiest, most stressful "holidays" I've ever done. Other than Christmas day itself, I haven't had any time off and I swear I'm just about ready to throw a champagne glass at the next person who invites me to a party. :devil: But. I worked a couple of extra-long days to get stuff done ahead so I can (mostly) take today and tomorrow off and almost get a long weekend out of the holidays. Next year will be different, I swear! :yes: And you can imagine what the eating's been like, also no doubt partially responsible for the extra stress. And it was lovely to wake up today, blizzard notwithstanding, and feel like I've got the whole day to look after myself. I'm going to bundle up and walk around the harbour. Do some yoga. Meditate, lounge, Reiki, pedicure. Maybe watch "It's a Wonderful Life" or visit my sister or perhaps even do both simultaneously. DH rented a bunch of videos that I have no interest in, lots of violence and nihilism. Next year I'm going to try to impose a moratorium on nasty movies at least until after Christmas. Two years in a row, I'm wrapping gifts and preparing things for Christmas, when I want to have soft music playing and a glow in my heart and I'm hearing explosions, screams and gunshot. I'm sure if I ask him nicely he'll be okay with holding off. It just makes me feel like crying. Gee whiz. He just came in and asked me if I'd be willing to watch one of the movies he got tonight. I nicely refused and said that I want to keep my spirits up and that that kind of movie makes it hard for me. He's not always into grim movies but for some reason when he takes time off that's the kind of thing he wants to see. :shrug: Anyway, enough of that. One resolution is to stand up for myself and protect my own good spirits in whatever way I can. :) This is also a good day to get myself sorted for the year to come. Christmas day was very nice. We went to my sister's on Christmas Eve for the usual gathering and then home for port and cheese with DS & his GF. They stayed overnight and after the too many presents we had a lovely brunch -- seafood quiche, champagne and orange juice. Then out to SIL's for games and turkey dinner. Very satisfying. :) Wildfire! :hug: So glad to see you in the palace -- was just thinking of you the other day. :) WSW, sounds like your Christmas was lovely. It really is nice to have a party on the day and lots of people. I'm definitely not a quiet Christmas kind of person. :) Janga, I'm loving the sound of your Janus project. Shall do similar. :) Ceara, busy? Check! Full of food? Check! TGI New Years. :) Kat, you're a lovely thread starter and you have my blessings 100%! I'm just happy to have time to post and reconnect with my Royal friends. :) Kaylets, I won't ask you if you don't ask me. ;) Now, onward we go. :) Anagram, is your family visiting you or vice versa? Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! :) K, Dollings, the tempest rages and tempus fugit! :snowglo: I must get out there to get the steps recorded on my pedometer for this day (clears at noon). Love to one and all and have a fabulous day. This is our year! :cheers: |
Happy New Year, all!
New site is presently under construction, so please bear with me... I'm only on my second cup of coffee! I'll be back in a bit to hand out Fresh Start cards and officially invite y'all to climb aboard! |
Come on down, :queen:s !! New thread's open!
