Ten for Tuesday: Say Hey (I Love You)

I know I'm a little behind with my posting which is surprising considering all the snow days we've had!  So, we're just going to pretend that today is Tuesday and get some updating done!

The purpose of Ten for Tuesday is to showcase ten things that I am loving right now...take that Oprah!

1~Our new kitty:

Kaia is settling in VERY well and of all our kitties she is the one that likes to cuddle the most.  Her sisters are taking some time to get used to her, but she walks around like she's been here forever! 

2~Soule Mama's blog: I am loving the beautiful photographs of her daily life, her kiddos and her crafty projects.  I think her heartfelt and honest way of writing draws me in and makes me feel as though I've known her for years.  On our last trip to Barnes and Noble I found her book and showed it to Dee; I was so excited to find it, as if it was authored by someone I talked with on a daily basis!

3~The beautiful snow and the resulting snow days:

By the time it was done last week we had about 10 inches.  Then we added more snow, sleet and ice on top of that yesterday and today.  At this point we haven't been back to school  except for a teacher workday on Thursday!

4~Starbucks Frappuccino: Vanilla of course!

A big "Thank You" to be my sweet Husbando who ran to the store and delivered this to me during car rider duty!  I had only gotten a few hours of sleep the previous night and it really helped me get through the day.

5 and 6~ These great tools that allowed me to really tailor my blog and do some fun updates: Mosaic Maker which I used to make my header and Pimp-My-Profile which I used to do a few other backgrounds.  Though I decided not to use those, I still learned a lot about coding from here!

7~This interview with Lady Gaga: 

I can't tell you how many nights I've lost sleep because I can't get her songs out of my head!  Admittedly I've always found her odd but I know that is part of her performance art.  Watching this interview really changed my opinion of her.  I commend her insight at such a young age and wish that more people thought like her.  And how about Barbara Walters???  What a phenomenal woman!  Thank you to my friend Angie for sharing this with video with me!

8~The True Blood Series: Dee and I started watching this through our Netflix subscription.  I think it's safe to say that we are both hooked!  I'm ready for the next disc to get here just as soon as I've put the last one in the mail!  Of course, pretty much anything with vampires is enough to suck (haha) me in!  Can't wait for the next season to come out on DVD; May is a long time away!

9~Sittin' in a Tree: This new pattern by Vera Bradley is beautiful!  I love the subtle colors and of course anything with brown is great by me!

10~Say Hey (I Love You): 

It seems like everywhere I go the more I see the less I know, but I know one thing...I love you.

What are you loving right now?  I hope you'll take a moment to share what's making your list this week!

Song for a Winter's Night

It certainly is COLD out there and seems like it will be for awhile. Possible snow flurries in the morning, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Really not too much to report overall today. It was a good day back; I was busy with testing and glad to see my kiddos.

Dee's taking his nap already in preparation for work tonight and I plan to follow him relatively soon. Hope to get a little more knitting done tonight as well as an episode or two of something on Netflix. I don't miss having TV too much, but there are a few shows I'm glad we can access online (LOST, House, Monk, Psych). The end of my day now seems complete knitting away in front of the computer.

On that note, we watched the first two episodes of True Blood last night. I really liked it, but that's kind of a given since there are vampires involved. :-) I can't wait for the next disk to arrive!

I think tonight I'll try and watch the Discovery Channel special on Secret Societies that I've been eying in my queue. Squeal!!!

In keeping with my Project 365 plans, here are a few pictures from my day:

Dee and I; he's trying not to look like he's forcing a smile...just in case you couldn't tell. ;-)

Nalla's not just a knitting kitty, she's a techie kitty too!


Nalla and her Dada:

I would be happy just to hold the hand I love on this winter's night with you...

Goodnight friends; I hope on this winter's night that you have someone special to hold your hand...<3
