~ A Very Happy and BLESSED "New Year" to you ALL~
I can't believe it is time for this already.
I'm usually ALWAYS ready for the old year to end and the NEW Year to begin.
However the end of this year crept up on me pretty fast.
I didn't even realize it was ending already until just a few moments ago!
Which I suppose is a good thing.
2009 has been kind to us...and we added a new member to our family.
Which we didn't expect at the beginning of the year...but we were thankful for when it happened! We love our new "Son."
And our daughter,"Mrs. Priss and Mr. Joshua are very happy together. I am wishing you a VERY Happy and BLESSED 2010!
I pray that the next year will be just as good..not only for us, but for you and yours!

We're BACK!
After a long and FABULOUS trip to New York......we are now resting.We did so much while we were there that we absolutly wore ourselves ragged.
And the FIRST thing I did the next day after arriving home at 1:00am from New Orlean airport into Baton Rouge, was to make a "chicken soup."
Comforting to the body and to the soul.
Photos will come to post as soon as I figure out how to download them off of my NEW camera!
Hate that....but technology is ever changing.
It's a boy!
Othere than to tell you I'm fatter than a house... lol...
The only other news to report is that IT'S A BOY!!!
More posting coming soon :-)

~We are OFF to NYC~
Wishing you all a VERY Happy and MERRY Christmas.....
We leave for New Orleans at 4:15am....which means I need to be up for 3'ish.
WHO booked this flight so early?????
Hummm....well I guess I wasn't thinking so straight in July when the trip was booked that was about the very same time my daughter came home from her trip to Africa and became engaged that very day!!!
So I best get to bed now I am SO not an early morning person. I'd do better to just stay up actually but then I would be a bear all day and exhausted.
See you soon.......ya'll be BLESSED!

~Christmas Tea~
Our little "Tea" group met together last Saturday night at our good friend Marsha's house. Regardless of the fact that it was raining hard, as it had been for DAYS.
The evening was so wet and cold and dark...but inside of Marsha's house....it was cherry, warm and cozy!
We all each prepared a "Sweet and a Savory" dish to bring.......
ALL of the "Savories" were fabulous!
We dined on "mini quiche," a feta and spinach pinwheel sand which, Marsha's "WORLD FAMOUS" cucumber sandwiches...which really are the best in the world....and I made "Double Cranberry Turkey Costinis."
Well actually Don my husband made them for me because I was working and he did a GREAT job of following my instructions for making them. They were so gooooood!! (Not bragging or anything... :~)
We had scones of course, before our desserts...two kinds in fact.
Marsha made these because she's so great at doing them. She makes them all the time. I in fact have her make them for me to keep in my freezer for whenever I want one!
And now the "Sweets."
My friend Diane's "Yule Log" was so beautiful and tasted wonderful! I made the little "Cheesecakes" that were poured into molded Belgium chocolate candy, shaped molds, dressing them off with a bit of "Holly and berries," fake of course. HA!
Tricia brought the little "Bourbon Pecan Pie pieces." Wait, now I am not sure...was it Bourbon or Rum? Hiccup!
HA!They were DELICIOUS! And we couldn't taste a hint of alcohol. Whatever it was in there.Diane and Marsha, "deep in conversation."Tricia had come a bit later because she was at "Christmas Play Practice" for her church."Christy"...Marsha's sweet "DIL," came as soon as she had gotten off work at her job too. Joyce, who isn't looking so grand after working 6 hours of retail all day, and Tricia.
Two dear and happy friends, Diane and Marsha. Me, and "Becky," one of two sweet kitties that Marsha has and loves to bits.
Our little "Tea party" lasted SIX hours...good grief! I was sooo tied when I finally went home. HA! But what a great time and what great memories did I make with my dear friends.
I wanted to post these photos on here before I became much more crazed than I already am.
I will be working alot the next few days, including today...and we leave for NYC on Tuesday!
Hope to see you all again soon!
Be blessed,
Joyce

One of my biggest PROBLEMS
...
I let people walk allll over me because I can't stand confrontation and I NEVER have the words to defend myself in the moment, so I buckle/cave and let them do it and I feel like crap for it.
Well, I sort of did it again in a way...and now that I have had a lot of time to think it over since the 'EVENT' happened. I am pretty pissed off about it actually and it isn't getting any better.
So, because I still have a bit of kindness left in me, I am not going to post about the 'EVENT' was about, who it involved, and why I am so angry... I will leave you all with the following words...
DON'T FUCKING THINK YOU CAN TREAT ME LIKE SHIT AND I AM GOING TO KEEP TAKING IT FROM YOU. GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Amen.

Hot NEW GROUPS on Hairlista!
Looking to retain more length in 2010? Well, check out these new groups that recently surfaced on Hairlista!
Join Here: Long Hair Academy
Busy days.......
Thankfully, I did my decorating "early." Because I work retail and as you can imagine.....
This is my busiest work time of the entire year, and for the most part....
I LOOOOVE it!!
But it is hard to keep up with life and "event's" during the month of December for me. SO I "try" to stay highly organized.
This years Christmas mantel is being guarded by the very fierce "Nutcrackers"....the middle one is a Fitz and Floyd and the other two are Steinbachs.
These decorative "antique replica" postcards were went to me by my sister Jenny recently. She knows how much I love things like these.Cookies have been made....and some have been eaten and some have been "saved up" for our family Christmas Party this coming Thursday night.I don't do alot of baking any more..because I would be the only one eating it. But when there is a special "occasion"...I do a a little bit of it.
The "Stockings" are hung and they are full of......well, "Kittens."Just "one kitten" to be exact.
Meet my "Grandkitten"...... "Tom Kitten." Mrs Priss's new "baby"...she's a Beatrix Potter fan can you tell??
We babysat him while Mrs. Priss and Mr. Joshua were in Gatlinburg with his family for a week at Thanksgiving.
It's dreary, dark and absolutely pouring outside here...our version of "Cajun Sneaux" (snow).....and I think I am going BACK TO BED.Then later I'm off to work for the afternoon and evening.
Hope your all faring well in your worlds!
