Friday-10:15am

Karma and I watched a lot of TV yesterday. Miracle on 34th Street was even on in the afternoon!

[Note: To those of you who are new to my blog--I absolutely LOVE the holidays!! From Thanksgiving till New Year's I can lean toward sappiness and exuberant happiness--hehe! You have been forewarned.]

Yesterday I made a chicken and rice bake--so the apartment actually smelled like poultry--hehe! Karma and I had our usual quiet, lazy Thanksgiving. :)

Dagan and Leah trade off Thanksgivings and Christmases between Leah's mother & family and Dagan's father & family. Lest you misunderstand--I do LOVE and thoroughly enjoy my private holidays. I get to see Dagan and Leah all year round, so I'm okay with my peaceful, solitary holidays. I spent years rushing about on the holidays like everybody else, of course. I don't really miss that, to be honest. I get to see or communicate with all the people I love during the entire year. The people I miss seeing, I'd rather visit in nice weather--ROFL!!

Let's face it--I am always happily floating along on my own holiday joy cloud--hehe! Not physically being with the people I love on those particular days doesn't matter a whit to me. I know I am loved. Took me many years to believe that down to my core, but I know I am loved. :) I am more than happy to relieve some of the holiday stress for Dagan and Leah.

This year I am going over to Dagan and Leah's for our own Thanksgiving dinner--tomorrow! tada! I think Leah is making homemade pot pies from leftovers? Yummy! And we usually have our own Christmas dinner at some other point in time, too.

Anyways, Karma and I had a nice Thanksgiving. It was a bright day and a balmy 35degrees! Somebody was moving into the building on Thanksgiving, as you can see. At least it was a nice day for it.

I did dig around yesterday for paper to use on the trial sketchbook I am working on. Finally found some. (Told you I needed to get more organized--hehe!) Oh, BTW--you can click on my YouTube link up in the upper left-hand corner of the blog now. Under "My Other Web Spots" I added "SoulComfort's Video Corner" to the link list. I have five videos now! I'll keep adding more as I work on projects like this. :)

Anyways, I found some paper, but I need to make too long of a cut for it to fit in my new Dahle cutter. So--it is finally time for me to watch the video and learn how to use the new Logan mat cutter--TaDa!!! I knew that when I got back to bookbinding I would be soooo glad I have it!! (Thanks, Leah!!)

These sheets were loose and all the same size. I can't tell if they are really cheap watercolor paper or heavier drawing paper--chuckle! Doesn't matter. They will work just fine for the trial sketchbook.

So--today--I am going to watch the video on how to use the mat cutter. I am supposed to have Netflix movies coming in the mail today. Good thing! I was so sore last night--up and down--that I took a pain pill in the middle of the night. Another reason to eventually be more organized, eh? Less searching and hunting for my body to do--ROFL!! You really would think I was 90 years old instead of only 57--hehe!

Have a great day!!
