I have come to the conclusion that January might very well be one of my favorite months.
And this after a week of "arctic" weather.
But with the holidays over and the lights and ornaments packed away, the feeling one ought to be at a party instead of doing the flowers for a party has gone away.
Gone away with the velvet leggings I lived in this December and the urge to go and get a little shot of Botox. Just enough to look relaxed, capisce?
We're eating heart warming meals, spending time with friends and Mr. Baby, napping, reading, working out, shaking our booty at Zumba and nesting.
Oh and shopping, everything is on sale!
Still painting that damn back bedroom. Downton Abbey got in the way this weekend.
We have a new roommate, an Army Reservist Colonel who moves in February 10th. She's here for a 6 month stint at the Pentagon.
Dear God, I hope she means it when she says she loves animals.
And I hope she doesn't mind a bit of the Rachel Maddow Show drifting back her way......
And I hope she likes the smell of onion and garlic cooking.
And doesn't have allergies.
One true thing I know for sure is.....

she fell for this one in a big way.
When the Colonel came to see the room, the lab bounded out the door with a big smile on her face and an even bigger bone in her mouth.
Done deal. Room rented.
Treat!
Doesn't sound like a bad month at all.
ReplyDeleteThat picture of the cats just makes me smile. What the hell is going on there, I don't know. And it doesn't matter. But it's a great snapshot in kitty time.
I was going to do my own flowers in the house today just for the fun of it. You beat me to it.
Sugar. FITH. I forgot to suggest next Monday. Thank you for the reminder.
DeleteBut don't wait, show me the petals!
A lady colonel - i like it! I bet she makes the same pay as the guys, too. Will wonders never cease? Sounds like an interesting six months.
ReplyDeleteCan't share your enthusiasm for january, tho. I have spent the entire month hybernating and now wwe have the longest month of the year to endure before spring.
Xoxo
Do you mean February> The shortest but snowiest, iciest month around?
DeleteI like your attitude! I will now look at January as nesting month.
ReplyDeleteTrust the lab!
Your animals will love your new room mate. The more the merrior is usually their motto.
ReplyDeleteGood for you doing Zumba
Helenxx
We loves the Zumba. You?
DeleteNice fleurs!! Girl power in the house! That Labby smiling face is a treasure, but I'll bet your small but really charming home charmed that colonel to bits!
ReplyDeleteIt did and she liked the garden too. Probably shows better in January. fewer weeds!
DeleteAnyone who loves dogs sounds good to me! x
ReplyDeleteI know....I love January! What a cool shot of your kitties!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a great temp roomie. Who could possibly resist that sweetheart of a doggie? And I must say you've turned into quite the kitty photographer, that one's a masterpiece. The William Wegman of he feline set I dare say.
ReplyDeleteAs I just told Marie, GG took the picture. It is a quintessential kitten moment.
DeleteLife, go get it!
Get ready, Colonel. Your life is about to be filled with excitement.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very funny cat picture.
ReplyDeleteVelvet leggings?
I know. I got them at Nordstrom's spent a little $$$ and lived in them all December..up and including New Years Eve. A must have I decree.
DeleteGG took the picture. It is like living in a flea ring circus.
Fifty has the same red harness! It makes them look like they work on Baywatch!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your new roomie x
