reflections – 31 dec 2011
Today we wandered around Blue Ridge for quite a bit. Chloe didn’t get these ornament trees, but I like the reflections we could see in them.
Photo-A-Day 2011
In a few minutes, I will post my last photo-a-day to the blog for 2011. This year, I posted my daily photo to this blog for much of the year, to Picasa and to facebook. In my 2008 daily album on picasa, I posted 202 photos. In my 2009 daily album on picasa, I posted
fungus – 30 dec 2011
My back hurt today, so I didn’t get in my 10K steps. But we did get out for a little walk around the cabin where I spotted this.
sawicki’s – 29 dec 2011
Rob headed over to Sawicki’s to pick up a nice loaf of French bread and some yummy breakfast pastries for us to eat before we tackled picking up, cleaning and packing.
winter wonderland – 28 dec 2011
At long last we finally made it to the Atlanta Botanical Garden to see the lights !! Stunning — I’m so glad that we made it in the end.
a year of living locally
As we worked through the idea of our downsize move and talked about what it was that we hoped to gain from the move, one of the ideas that I was hoping to pursue was that of living locally. Now that we’ve settled in and we’ve started to try to “live local”, I’m questioning what
decatur – 27 dec 2011
I will be missing these lights when they come down for the season!!
multitaking versus concentrating
Is it an age thing? Am I lacking on some vital nutrients? I used to be able to multitask efficiently. There’s no way I could have worked, traveled, homeschooled, gardened, de-cluttered, blogged and the rest if I wasn’t multi-tasking every second of the day. But these days, not only do I stink at multi-tasking, I
fernbank christmas – 26 dec 2011
We finally, FINALLY, got to the Darwin exhibit at Fernbank yesterday. Highly recommended, but you are running out of time. Get there tomorrow!
hello my name is gwyneth and i like holiday cards.
It should no longer came as any surprise to me, but I’m once again reminded of how “unhip” I am. Everyone around me is making fun of Christmas “brag letters” saying how much they despise them as being ridiculous and how they think the letters that make fun of the sincere ones are “hysterically funny”.
dalek – 25 dec 2011
It was a very Doctor Who Christmas. We watched a few episodes as well as the Christmas Special. In addition, Chloe made lots of Doctor Who characters out of play-doh….
square – 24 dec 2011
We had a nice quiet day around town. Lunch out, way around the square in the evening. A beautiful, relaxing day.
festivus – 23 dec 2011
Festivus is a made-up holiday, but I don’t need much of an excuse to have a celebration. We aired our grievances, ate meatloaf and enjoyed our M&M covered Pepperidge Farms cake.
stormy skies – 22 dec 2011
A stormy day, complete with tornado watches. I stayed in and worked all day long.
commerce – 21 dec 2011
A rainy, dreary day. At least I managed to finish writing the holiday letter and can hopefully get the cards out in the mail before Christmas. Each year I promise to get them out earlier the next year, but it doesn’t happen. 2012 will be my year!
That “White Ham” sandwich ….
A month ago, Chloe jumped in the car for our twice weekly race from school to gymnastics. “The good news is I don’t feel sick!” Um … ok? “See, we had sack lunch in our classroom, and I had to eat a ham sandwich for lunch.” “No, no choice. That’s what they handed me.” Ever
fox theatre – 20 dec 2011
Chloe left for school at 7:45. From school, she went right to two hours of gymnastics. From the gym, we got on MARTA to get to midtown to go see The Nutcracker. A long day for a slightly sick little girl! The Nutcracker was amazing, made even more so by getting to see Tristan as
city of decatur – 19 dec 2011
I like the little “logo” for Decatur, but think that the slogan could use a little bit of tweaking : “city of homes, schools, places of worship”. Rob thinks it should be called the sudsiest city, I think.
sunset on ponce – 18 dec 2011
A to-do day. Cleaned house, bought clothes for the girls to wear to the Nutcracker (and Annie, I hope). Rested up, hoping to kick the illnesses that hae been floating around before the busy week ahead. And tried out a new restaurant on the square.
courthouse – 17 dec 2011
Today I headed out for a walk to the library and the grocery store — I am soon to be the foursquare mayor at boh places, I think. While walking, I found a “bill folio” (you know, that black faux leather folder that your restaurant bill comes in and that you place your credit card
