I Fail

Lately, since I haven't been able to sit in front if a computer in over a month, I h e been failing at blogging. I even got this new app (when I don't even use apps mostly) on my phone just so I could blog easily. Yeah, still doesn't help much.

It ha been very cold lately and my room is in the back of the house and gets no circulation. Therefore it is always 40 degrees in my room. Ok so maybe not 40 degrees but probably 50. Cold enough that if you stand in there for two minutes or more, you will start shivering. Since the. computer is in the freezing room, I haven't really wanted to numb my buttcheeks just to sit on the computer.

But I miss blogging. I always think "oh I should blog about this" or I have an idea and instantly think "oh I so need to make a blog on this" but so far I haven't really gotten around to it. I'm hoping this app deal will help. We shall see

Later maybe..

Days of Christmas two

So lets do a quick DIY shall we? I love the smell of cinnamon in the winter, especially for the holidays, so I already have candles everywhere and scented pine cones in every corner and in my tree. Still it's not enough for me. A lovely way before people come over, or just a nice night sitting with hot chocolate looking at he lights is to throw some cinnamon in the fireplace.

We have a wood stove and very do often I take a cinnamon stick and wrap it tight in newspaper and put it in a corner of the stove so it burns slowly and smells heavenly. It is also nice if you wrap a couple piece of eucalyptus in with the cinnamon, so you smell the cinnamon but you also have a nice relief of clearing your sinuses in then cold winter. We have a cast iron kettle we keep on top of the stove with water that evaporates after a while of the stove burning that I like to put eucalyptus in too, so the aroma and vapors of the eucalyptus last longer than just burning it. Either way it's lovely to have along with the delicious smell of a cinnamon fire in the winter

Day one - 25 days of Christmas

Lets start with the new things, first, I finally got a phone that works! It's my first iPhone and so far it is so much better than trying to use old phones that had a thousand things wrong with them.

Next is my new kitty! Meet Gandalf the Grey, or just Grey for short. We found him at 630am one morning laying on our front porch in front of the door trying I huddle and be warm. He's been here a couple weeks now and he has grown soo much. He's hardly a year I'm guessing because of how he's still growing and how playful he still is and he still had itty bitty kitten teeth. He's the newest addition to our family and its silly how much I loved this kitty after only a day. I love that I took him in rather than going out and buying a cat, it's such a humbler thing to rescue your pets.

25 days of Christmas

Each day (or days if I get backed up) I'm going to post something about my Christmas or December. Sometimes it might just be a regular post or it may be a DIY post or it may just be an idea of something I'd like to do this December. But nonetheless, it is December and it is my favorite holiday month and I'm going to make the very best of it I can, giving my certain circumstances.
