finally coming out of hibernation.....

Much like the Groundhog earlier this month, or like Baby C here peeking out from her cocoon like stroller cover, I am peeking out from my bloggy break, getting ready to come back to Blog land.  I really didn't intend to take such a long break, but somehow PT has been wearing me out, and I've been on the lookout for my Bloggy Mojo.......every time I think I was ready to emerge, it waned.  It waxed and waned, leaving me with exhaustion and not a lot I felt like blogging about.  Alas, it is returning, so stay tuned for that giveaway I last talked about two weeks ago, stay tuned for my telling you about some awesome giveaways that I WON!, and stay tuned for a few other items that are bringing the mojo back...yes, dear friends, I am feeling the mojo start to gurgle...anyone else felt like that??? I have read a few posts from you, but even my blog reading has waned...just felt the need to take a break.  and catch a cold.  So I do hope I haven't lost all of you.......please tell me I have a few bloggy friends/neighbors left out there.......tomorrow I'll be telling you about some things I won as giveaways!!!  Lucky me!
And lucky me, that I get to be a Grammy to this little angel pictured above! This was taken by her mamma, who had her all bundled up for a neighborhood jaunt with the dogs!  Isn't she adorable?????

Gee, where does time go???

How can it be time for Friday Fives again??? Wasn't last Friday just two days ago?  I started my Physical Therapy, and not only does it take up a good chunk of time daily, but it HURTS!!! It is more painful by far, than the surgery and recovery from that!  Geez, Louise......but I am working thru it, and looking forward to my getaway later this spring.....Wanna know where we are going?????  Ok, here's a hint.....

YES!!! My husband and I are finally going to Paris for our 30th anniversary later this spring!!!  I am beyond excited, of course.....SO, on that note, let's do a Friday Fives about traveling!!! What do you say?  I don't know how many readers I have left since I've been just a tiny bit delinquent and absent in my blogging.....not daily for sure, so I hope a few of  you are still out there, and will leave a little shout out to let me know who's still reading....and yes, that giveaway is still coming up, but I"m still working on it, so I hope it's going to be amazing and that you'll come back for it....so for now, let's have some fun.....

FRIDAY FIVES:

1.  What was your most favorite vacation you've ever taken?

2.  What is your favorite WAY to travel?  Do you mind flying, would you rather take a train, drive a car????

3. If you had $3000 and a long weekend, today, where would you head?

4. What is your favorite traveling tip, especially any of you European travelers that have tips I may need to know!!

5.  Do you fold, roll or just throw in your clothes in the suitcase when you travel?? Best packing tip????

Have a great weekend, y'all........I'll be seeing you around!

Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more arm sling for me!! I can start Physical Therapy, or physical torture as a friend's child says, this week.  Hopefully a couple of months of that and I"ll be back to normal.  I can drive freely now, but no pulling, pushing or heavy lifting!!! Yes!!!

On to cleaning closets!!!

Friday fives!!!

Here in the Houston area, we are "ICED" in......roads are not good, so no driving for me!  Yesterday, the thought from the weathermen was that we would see rain/sleet/snow, but we got no snow....just lots of ice and treacherous road conditions!
  I had hoped to post  my Giveaway today, but I'll postpone it for next week, so I can get together all I need for my it.
Any thaw that could possibly happen today will be undone tonight when temps plunge again.
So let's move on with the Friday Fives today......
I'm sure you can imagine my theme....hah!

1. Have you ever been snowed in?  How much snow have you seen in your lifetime?

2. Have you ever made snow  ice cream?

3. What's your favorite cold weather comfort food?

4. Have you ever made a snow man?  How big was it?

5. Have you ever snow skied?

Stay warm, y'all......this is really weird winter weather when the temperatures in South Texas are colder than other places north of us!!!!
