Breaking The Ice.

Wowza.  Last post November 4th.  Time to Break the ice and just crank out a catch up post.

Thanksgiving was great.  Turkey Trotted with my favorite girls.  Spent time with some extended family.  Rode home from Osseo with my favorite little people.

Weekend after Thanksgiving and Black Friday, Pete and I went up north.  I'm not going to lie.  It was not what I wanted to do.  I had been running through life at a break neck speed, and I had an agenda to burrow in our place and do all the things I hadn't had time to over the last few weeks.  Laundry, cooking, organizing, cleaning, netflixing, etc etc.  But, I did something I have to say I don't do enough.  I listened to Peter.  I went to Pinewood.  And it was exactly what I needed.  Reading, napping by the fire place, quality time with Gma Andrus and Pete's parents, a meat raffle, smelling the exhaust of the snowmobiles Pete had started up and tuned up for our trip in January.  Good Stuff.

This last weekend Pete and I headed to Prescott Friday night.  I had a date with my mom to start some Christmas baking, and Pete and Jack had an agenda to do some manly stuff.  Ya know, moving furniture, talking sports, drinking beer.  Unfortunately, my car was on the fritz...again.  So we departed and headed to our favorite mechanic.  Angel.  (Pete's sisters fiance).  We hung out with Maggie and Colton for the afternoon, and ended up spending the day with them on Sunday.

Thanks to Angel, my vehicle is back in action and at a minimal cost.  I am however saving up and keeping my eyes peeled for a new (to me) transportation device.  The KIA has been good to me, and has racked up a memorable 170,000 miles.  Including a trip with my mom and sister down to Texas back in its early years. Lots of memories in that little SUV, but lots of stress and dollars have gone into its life in the last few years.

I am however looking forward to Christmas, and all the gatherings that will commence.  This weekend I hope to get my Santa on and get my Christmas crafts started.  Stay tuned.  And now that I've broken the ice on the blogging, I hope to stay current.

Have a great Tuesday!
