Taking a Little Break!

January 7, 2014 by Patti 7 Comments

 My life is a whirlwind and I feel like I haven’t slowed down in months.  I know that I’ve been doing too much, but the dilemma is that I love everything that I do!  So . . . I’ve decided that I’m taking a little break (from almost everything) for the next several weeks.  It is a necessary break to restore some sanity to my life and to keep me from ending up looking like this!

Waiting at SeaTac (7)-001(I don’t know about you but my mom always told me that if I made a face like this one too long it would get stuck that way!)

During my time off I’ll be getting some things taken care of that have been on the back burner.  Things like . . .

doctor’s appointments that have been on hold so long they’ve stopped sending recall cards,

organizing my office space so it is a more peaceful place to work,

fine-tuning my WordPress site (does anyone know of someone who specializes in WP and isn’t too busy to respond?!),

putting the finishing touches on home projects that are almost completed (they look okay to other people) and nagging at me to get them done,

taking a long look at priorities and deciding what I need to continue doing and what I need to let go,

having a little fun while learning a new painting technique,

and finally, taking a mini-vacation or two where I can do nothing . . . if nothing is what I want to do!

So, if you don’t see any posts from me for awhile that’s the reason. Thank you for being patient with my absence.  I appreciate those of you who follow along with my little blog more than you’ll ever know.

 And hopefully when I come back I’ll be looking just as young and refreshed as Betty Grable!       

Blessings to you,

My Signature

A Happy New Year Gone to the Dogs!

January 1, 2014 by Patti 6 Comments

Doesn’t Sasha look sweet?  All dressed up and waiting for the party . . .

Sorry girl, no party here tonight, we’re off the the movies!

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty – It was a great “feel good” movie.  What a wonderful evening Mr. OTN and I had together.

Then we came home . . . to THIS!

Oh no! What happened here while we were away? Who got into the Christmas presents that we haven’t given out yet?
