Time for Rules at the kathy b house

By -


*Now that the house is clean, if anyone uses the downstairs bathroom before Christmas afternoon, when guests arrive,
well Heaven help them.

*Eat whatever you want. Guiltless. It is okay.

*Sometimes Santa gives you a present you didn't know you wanted! Surprises are fun.

*If one relative won't play the Christmas game, play it anyhow with everyone else. Let him pout .

* It is nobody's last meal. Enjoy whatever you serve and don't worry about everyone's likes and dislikes.

*If you don't get yarn from Santa, buy yourself some!

*Don't skimp on your naps.

and finally,

*Turn off all news until after the holidays. Think Positive. If you must watch for the weather
turn the news on at quarter past the hour. Let me know if you try this one. I find it so mind clearing.
I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

Sounds like a very happy Christmas happening at your house. Cleaning bathrooms in preparation for guests--me too. Filling the fridge with food for everyone--me too. Taking naps--me too. Buying yarn--is there any doubt?

I agree about the news! I have stopped watching and listening for now while there are so many things going on that make me unhappy. We have stacked up a bunch of movies to watch. Something for everyone.

Hope your Christmas is super delightful and happy!!

Hi Kathy, thanks for dropping by. It was so sweet of you to visit. These "rules" would make a great gift plaque. My favorite is "Eat whatever you want. Guiltless. It is okay."

Have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!!! Oh how I love your rules! I read the one about Santa and the yarn to Pea . . . to which he replied "Oh no, I didn't get you any yarnies". It's okay, he spoiled me rotten!! :) Hope Santa spoiled you too!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
