Santa Clause Welcomes Jesus

I just could not resist capturing this historic moment. It's not
every Christmas that you see a yard display featuring Mary, Joseph,
Jesus, Santa, a reindeer and a bunny, not to mention 2 spiral
Christmas trees. God got me though. As I got out to take the photo my
cell phone secretly unclipped itself from my waist and landed in the
wet street. I got a call the next day from a policeman who found it.
Alas, it was drowned and could not be resusitated but at least I found
out what happened to it instead of thinking somebody was out there
using it to call Santa or Mary or Joseph or Jesus...

RX: Take a Sick Day and Pamper Yourself

This seemed like a good day to pamper myself since I am fighting off a
sore throat and a cold. I decided to use the fizzy mango papaya fizzy
bath cupcake that my favorite daughter Jennifer gave me for Mother's
Day last year. It was almost too cute to use so I took a still photo
and a movie to document its charm and its fizziness. I would be
interested in hearing what some of you out there in the eithernet do
to pamper yourselves...

Mr and Mrs Santa with Amber, Owen and Isaac

Amber, Owen and Isaac had BRUNCH with Calinda Clause and Santa Clause
at the Morgan Hill Community Center on December 17th, 2009. A good
time was had by all: games, face painting, balloon animals, Christmas
songs and candy canes.

The Road To Hell Is Paved with New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Year Everyone!

I have made a few resolutions for Twenty Ten. This photo illustrates
my first one which is to "religiously" use my Neti Pot at least once
every day. Yes, it really works and no, it does not feel that good
while you are using it. They are available at drugstores or you can go
to http://www.nasaflo.com/.

Here's a few others: Use up the teas I have before buying more.
Take a walk or a bike ride every today. I went on a nice walk today
and so far I am at 9708 steps at 4:15 pm so should have no trouble
making 10,000 steps today.
Try at least one new recipe every week. (I'm reading Julie and Julia
and cannot imagine myself being as ambitious as she was with all those
Julia Child recipes). I actually have a cookbook called "The Busy
Woman's 3 Ingredient Cookbook". I have lots of other cookbooks and
many recipes I have saved from newspapers and magazines.

That's enough reporting of all my good intentions for today. The list
I started is upstairs. I'll report in a later blog if any seem worth
mentioning.
