Winter Manifesto......

Soulemama.com
A Winter's Manifesto ::
1. Follow the sun wherever you find it. Rejoice in the slowly-growing-longer days.
2. Make Stuff.
3. With gratitude for the labor of summer and fall, do everything in front of the fire. Morning, Noon, and Night.
4. Get out there everyday, no matter how cold or quick the visit may be. Through crunchy snow underfoot and breath-warmed wool on your face, remember the magic and wonder of it all. Try not to take it for granted.
5. Shake things up, change the scenery, and Get out of Dodge.
6. Wool. Flannel. Capilene. Know them. Love them. Layer them.
7. Gather often with friends. To commiserate. To laugh. To warm the spirit.
8. Savor the memories and bounty of past seasons harvest. Plan and dream for the one yet to come.

Bourbon Cough Syrup.....

I am surrounded by sick people....
Tissues.....
Ear-aches.....
Stuffy noses....
Sneezing.....
I stumbled upon this remedy.....
"Bourbon Cough Syrup"...
@ TheKitchn.com
Not exactly appropriate for a 7 year old....
I do think the adults might like it though.

Sleep Over.....

Gramma Judi decided to stay over last night...
Rather than driving all the way to New Hudson in a blizzard....
She had dinner with us.....
She sat next to Jake at the big farm table....
Jake shared his room with her...
They watched cartoons in his Ikea twin bed...
with white fluffy clouds painted on the ceiling...
She is a big fan of "The Penguins Of Madagascar"....
She watches it even when shes home alone....
He showed her his "Secret Fort"....
(2 chairs with a sleeping bag on top & a TV inside)....
They practiced the Cub Scout Promise...
They are good buddies.
Today a nice man delivered this delicious morsel to our door....
Thanks Gramma....Your the Best!
Mmmmmm....Chocolate Covered Bananas!

Snow Day.....

You know what that means.....
Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Sledding!!!

Urban Dictionary....

Yvonne...
French-ass name
"Oh Yvonne...That's a French-ass name"
To Yvonne is to possess an uncurable fetish of candy while having an irritating upbeat attitude that resembles those of little lolicon girls that you find in anime or
hentai.
Coincidentally...
you will also find yourself infecting your computer with uncontrollable amounts of viruses.
"Oh crap, I just yvonned my computer."
"Stop acting like such a Yvonne~!
What would Kris and Emilio say?
Don't you dare anger the mexican christ."
