A barnacle here and there

Had a whirlwind of a Christmas.

Some fun in the snow.

Sleigh rides.

Santa parties

Decorations

Cookies

And presents galore.

Now, I stand here in an ocean of discarded wrappings and bows, fighting a post-holiday bug.

I was just about to put my feet up when I heard a little voice…

“Mamma Talk….Mamma talk…..Mamma talk….”

Was that my blog calling to me?

Don’t leave me… Don’t leave me… Don't leave me...

So, I paid her a visit. It had been awhile.

Here she was, floating belly up, unattended, afloat on the bloggy seas. Barnacles were growing here and there and, at first glance, I thought there was little hope.

I immediately dove in and gave her a little resuscitation.

After a moment, she stood up on her shaky, spindly legs. She stretched and shook her head. Then, she wasted no time in chastising me for my neglect. She waggled her finger at me, hand on hip and eyes a glare.

She showed no mercy. Just would not let me up for air. She cursed my laziness and ripped into me venomously.

Yes. I know.

She’s a pistol.

But, the way I look at things, a blog's gotta have a little bite. So, in this case, I think I'll roll with the bloggy punches.

Give it your best shot, Mamma!

Happy New Year to you.

The post Christmas "stuff" can be brutal! I am in the ATTACK MODE today trying to gain SOME order back!

Feel better soon! I have been blowing dust off my blog too. She was much less nice to me. Told me I'd gotten fat and she wondered what had happened to my skinny-self. Actually, she started sounding a lot like my late grandmother....hmmmm...

Wow, there must have been something going around. I was sick too right before Christmas!! Hope you are feeling better if not now...soon:)

Cleaning up after Christmas is such a work in progress. Some years I am not back to normal until February!!

Saw your last post. I have people asking for a mirror cuz they can't seem to get a link. What!!

I also saw a button some where in the blogesphere about blogging without obligation. This past year I could go for weeks without blogging.

Happy New Year!

This is too funny because I was just saying how you beat me up to do more reviews! Every blog is feeling punchy these days huh? Well don't worry. I always say this Internet fad will outlast us all so you might as well get real world things done while you still can! :o)

My best, Lynn

Hope you're feeling better. I've had the post-holiday bug (and the pre-holiday bug too), and it really takes it out of you. Happy New Year!
