Happy 2006!

It has been a busy past couple of days. Trish was here visiting on Friday afternoon. We had a very nice dinner at the Sirloin Saloon. It was delicious as always. However, it was mobbed! We had the loudest group of people behind us that I have ever heard. By the time we left there I had a ginormous headache. Trish and I had our yearly birthday/Christmas gift exchange. She always finds the neatest things. She gave me a pair of Croc Socks. I have never seen these before. They are soft and warm!

I am also the proud owner of Napoleon Dynamite socks and a really cool necklace/earring set from Danforth Pewters as well as treasure chest of many other neat things too.

I sure hope Trish liked her gifts. One was a zipper barrette.

Here is a picture of some of the neat things I either got for Christmas or bought for myself. The two bird pins were made by a Jill Listzwan, a Vermont artist. The barrette with the glass pieces was made by Eye and I Glass, another Vermont Artist. I bought the orange clip and the other one was given to me by my mom and sister. I bought the fused glass pin at a Craft sale.

Eric and I had a New Years dinner at the Panda Pavillion. It was delicious! I ate every bite on my plate. We went on a shopping excursion at Hannaford and the liquor store so that we could enjoy our yearly tradition of mixed drinks at home. There have been some good movies on TV lately. We watched Kate and Leopold. I snoozed on my bed and now I am up thinking I would like to go back to bed.
Have a happy and healthy new year! If you had time off, lucky you. Have fun going back to work. I didn't have a single extra day off because all of the holidays lately have fallen on Saturdays. Can you tell I am not happy about that? Hmmmmmmm...
