Baby, it's cold outside!

Brrrrrrrrr, I'm freezing and it is all because of my terrible memory.  Yesterday, I was cleaning my house and it was growing quite warm, so Debbie told me to turn it off.  I thought this a great idea at the time, but when you wake up to a chilly 50 degree living room because you forgot to turn the thermostat back on, and all you are wearing at the time of discovery are shorts and a t-shirt...not such a good idea.  There is definitely a dusting of snow outside my window right now and I am pretty darn pumped!!!  I don't want to get out from under this fleece blanket any time soon, and luckily, I woke up extremely early and can veg out for a bit.  I might venture into the kitchen and make me some chamomile tea but then it's back under the blanket until it gets warmer.
Are you ready? Ready to hear about how amazingly productive I was? Oh yes, my friends, I did some big things yesterday.  I talked of doing yoga and drinking tea yesterday morning and that was what turned the tables on my day.  Going into the kitchen to make tea, I take my blinders off and see that tiny elves have attacked my kitchen.  They left dirty dishes and a messy counter top in their wake, not to mention a full garbage can of almost overflowing proportions.  So, I put my water on to boil and attack the mess.  My kitchen is shiny and my dishes are done and even put away by the time my tea is ready.  (Who knows where that burst of energy came from at 7:30?!?) So, then I meander my way into the living room to do some yoga and realize that my tables are cluttered and there are clothes on the chair.  So I pop the yoga DVD in and start to clean as she is introducing some techniques.  I hurry and lay down and start to mimick her (should I mention I'm a novice at yoga? Or is it evident?).  This DVD goes from entry level poses to poses like intense forward bend almost before I can realize what is happening.  Needless to say, I am intensely sore today because I didn't catch the transition.  Bah!
 So after yoga, Debbie came over and we got our clean on, and worked some magic on my dining room.  (My house was kind of a disaster due to my dining room ceiling having to be replaced from a big storm in March).  The ceiling was fixed last week and all that remained was the mess.  Not anymore though! We cleaned and I think I heard the Cinderella theme song playing in my head at one point. 
Now all that remains is decorating for Christmas in the dining room and the avalanche of laundry that keeps growing.  I swear I do one load and five more multiply. Can you see what happens when I let it slide(hehe get it? Slide? )Train wreck!!!
Oh-my-goodness!!! It is definitely snowing big fat snowflakes, the kind that catch on your eyelashes and that can actually land on your tongue!  I wonder if my mom is at her house? I could definitely take a stroll with Sadie in the snow and have a visit...No, let me come back to earth...Sadie could drag me down the two blocks and I'd end up falling onto the snow slicked road.  Maybe not such a good idea.  (Sadie = 80 lb chocolate lab that has yet to learn how to take a leisurely stroll).
Nah, I think I will just stay in this morning...Maybe I'll call and invite her to breakfast...Yes, that's what I'll do. Ugh! No go!  Guess it's a solitary breakfast for this gal.  I'll post pictures of my pretty Christmas rooms soon!

Still have to tackle my room and the library.  I'll finish the bathroom and kitchen and post those pictures soon! :)

Sadie decided to sleep on the job!
