Christmas Part 2

001

Let’s try this one more time…

Well the weather was too bad on Christmas day for the family to come and visit, and then the heater broke, and that was a big mess. Today we are attempting to have Christmas together. I’m cleaning the house this morning and putting together some tasty appetizers for this afternoon. It looks like it is going to be a fun day, and then I’ll finally get to take down the tree.

Nico’s 2010 Resolutions

Thank goodness it is time for a new year! I’m happy to see 2009 over and out. I’ve got a few resolutions for the new year, and we’ll see if I keep them.

  1. A blog post a day, or at least a picture a day
  2. Be a better homemaker
  3. Finish some painting projects around the house. I would love to paint our bedroom, the boy’s room, and the upstairs bathroom too
  4. Stress less (but that one is probably not going to happen)
  5. Make more vegetarian meals (the boy’s aren’t going to like that one)

I figure 5 is a good start… What are some of your new year’s resolutions?

This Is Where I Lose It!

Guess who just called! Yep, the heater repair-guy, and the wrong part was shipped. So that means that we are looking at another day without heat! I am beyond mad at the moment.

We’re Waiting and Waiting

So let’s see we are starting day 4 of the great heater stand-off of ’09, and I’m staying optimistic today. I’ve already talked to the repair-man, and hopefully the delivery truck is on the way.

I haven’t been downstairs yet, because yesterday it was colder than this…

The little arrow had dropped below the black line. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any colder it did. I may sneak down to get a picture of it, but it is too cold for me to go down and make coffee, and I really love coffee, so that is a good indicator of just how cold it is downstairs.

So we are staying upstairs, and hoping for the best. I really really really hope that the heater is fixed soon!
