Thank Heaven
What’s Jack up to? Well he was way too happy in the snow yesterday. Rolling around and having a ball. I just could not muster up the same enthusiasm. Sorry Jack I’m just over it now.
The Dear Twins will be home tonight! I’ve missed them a lot but it’s been a good miss and gone by so fast. Quickly we’ll all be back to the grind.
In honor of the twins coming home I leave you with this trailer and clip from Gigi with Leslie Caron one of my all time favorite movies that pays homage to gay Paris!Best,

So what about all that snow the east coast got socked with huh? Just what we didn’t need and the dear twins are supposed to head for Paris today with their French group. I sure hope all goes off on time and well. Please send good bloggy vibes their way.
Yesterday the family headed out to brave the snow and do some shoveling and cleaning of the cars.
Jack wasn’t all that thrilled with the idea and had to seriously consider stepping off the porch.
Once he did he got into the swing of things for a bit, that is until the DH opened the car door for a moment and like a shot Jack was gone.
Into the sanctuary of the warm car. Leaving us outside to clean up on our own. Smart dog.
Best,
KwanaP.S. There is still time to enter the Cara Elliot Sin with a Scoundrel giveaway from yesterday’s post below.
A Dog’s Life-Wordless Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! For more Wordless Wednesday posts go to 5 Minutes for Mom.

What’s Jack up to? He’s looking like a new dog after his much needed haircut this weekend and I’d swear he has some extra pep in his step. It must be from lugging all that shaggy hair weight.
It was totally my own fault
And seeing how good he looks now I’m just ashamed (Kwana hangs head…until next time).
Sorry Jackster.
Have you ever just let things (like your poor pet or gasp, your own hair) go?Best,
KwanaMy Blogiversary and I missed it… Blah
Wow in the midst of all the holiday hoopla and my own recuperating I missed my own 2 year blog anniversary which was December 23rd. So better late than never I’m saying Happy Blogiversary to me!Thank you all so much for sticking with me these past 2 years. I’m so grateful that words really can’t explain it. Your kindness, support and blog friendships have meant so much to me as I continue my road to publication.Jack, the spoiled dog that he is, would also like to thank you for all the kind words even when he’s being just awful. You all truly are special to us..jpg)
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and I wish you all the best in 2010. I’m hoping for good health, joy, love, peace and prosperity for all of us.Words will be light on the blog with a few pics or videos until the new year. I will try and post my hot mess snow video. Yikes!Please feel free to stop by roam a bit and comment. You know I love to hear from you. But please also enjoy this time with family and friends and do a little relaxing yourself.Thanks so much.All the best,KwanaP.S. The above pic of Jack from the very first post here.
Oh Christmas Tree- 09
What’s Jack up to? Poor Jack has been a little tippy on his toes? He walks for a bit and then starts to hop. I’m afraid he has a cut on his paw. So we’re tending to that. Ouch. Any advice for me on that? How to help the pain also how to get him to stop biting and licking at it? And check him out. Boy does he need a haircut.
First off thanks to all the new people who stopped by yesterday for the PW talk. It was quite a day for me for blog hits and much appreciated.
As promised here are picture so of this year’s tree which is pretty much last year’s tree since it came out of the box from the basement. Thank you Martha.
As you can see I have lots of ornaments that I add to every year. I still have to pick up this years ornament for the kids. Must get on that. at the rat I’m going they’ll be hanging it on Christmas eve. Oh will it’ll still count.
Something corny that I do and I just can’t stop (superstition maybe?) is I always have an ornament for the hubby and me. Sometimes it’s a store bought one and when times are a bit leaner or time gets away from me I just wing it. As long as it says we’re still hanging together for another Christmas. You see we were engaged on Christmas eve. But that’s a blog post for another day. *wink*
What are some of your traditions?
Best,
KwanaBleak Weekend
What’s Jack up to? Jack had been a funny one doing a few things that are out of the norm for him. Like in the picture here of him of sitting in front of the fire (yes, I know I need to paint, um, will get to it in the Spring).For some reason he really enjoyed the fireplace this weekend with me as I spent lost of time in front if it watching BBC’s version of Bleak House.
It was the perfect thing to watch in front of the fire and used up so much wood. Have you seen it? I totally enjoyed it. Bleak but not as bleak as I thought. Quite funny actually in parts.
Besides that, the usual running wild, finally getting the tree decorated and bowling a 132 (my new high). That was my weekend.Thanks to all my new followers and to those who entered my PVE giveaway.
The winner thanks to random number generator is: Deidra from Jumping Tandem!Congrats Deidra. And if your have not been to Deidra’s blog please stop by. It’s the perfect place for a little peace during this holiday season.
Deidra please send me an email with your info so I can get your prize out to you.I hope the holidays are running smoothly so far for all of you.Best,KwanaDream a little Dream
What’s Jack up to? That Jack was a hot mess yesterday. We had him out for a little walk and he met up with new neighbor Arya (see below) and he wanted no parts of her. I was so embarrassed. Arya was so happy to see Jack ready to sniff and say hi and Jack kept running away. She tried and tried and he was not having it. It was very sad and Arya looked heartbroken. I really shouldn’t be surprised. Jack is not even into dogs on tv. Here he is wanting no part of the dog show. I just don’t know what to do with my anti-social dog. Humph!Onto other news which is not really news, but I’ve still got Nano on my mind. Sorry, if this blog is getting boring. I’ll think up something better soon. Maybe crash a party. Ugh! Don’t get me started on at hot mess. Makes me so mad.But, back to NaNo…Getting it completed was such a thrill. Would you like to see how it looked once I uploaded my manuscript? Sure you do, so here goes. I was happy to see this page. Pretty.
And this was my page once I passed the 50,000 word mark. It’s wonderful how many others made their goals too and even those who did not still came so far because just trying and getting 10 or 20,000 words done is still so much. Congrats to all the participants!
If you have some dream that is gnawing at you and you think it’s beyond your reach, I say give it a go anyway. You never know what you can do until you try. I’m not anywhere near my ultimate dream but I’m so much closer than where I was.Any challenges pressing on your heart that you think you might want to try? Please share.Best,KwanaWalking with Friends
Jack took a stroll yesterday with one of his oldest friends, Bentley!
Though they paid each other little attention each going their own way.
And Jack clearly was in no mood to be photographed. Ugh, paparazzi!
But he was happy to catch up with this friend and so was I.
Patricia of pve design. Why don’t you pop over here and give her a Hi. I’m sure she’ll have something inspiring to get you over this hump day.Best,KwanaP.S. I’m still rolling along with The NaNowrimo challenge. The words are addling up nicely. Yesterday was a bit of a bust with the being election day and the kids out of school, but I hope to put it in a higher gear today. I think I can hear you all cheering me on from your homes. Thanks.
Trick or Treat
Happy Halloween from me and Jack!
We hope you have more treats than tricks.
Best
Kwana
