Rocking Your World Friday Week 5

Well, Friday has rolled around again rather quickly and that means that Virginia is looking to see what has made us do the happy dance this week.

I must admit, it's been a fairly quiet week on all fronts. I did manage to tame my scrap bins a little--no more raging, out of control mess.

A couple of late evening returns from work meant a couple of take-out meals--woo hoo, no cooking!

We managed to finish up Alessia's playroom (formerly the dining room) and she is pretty much all moved in and enjoying making a mess.

Happy mail from my SU! upline Maggie Patterson for a head office challenge that our team completed. It's a reusable bag and a trash sack that hooks onto your desk/table. Love the bear on the trash sack--I have that stamp set!

And finally, last Sunday a marathon of one of our fave TV shows, Life Above Zero. I almost never get to see it as I'm already in my jammies in bed when it comes on. It was nice to have caught up on the episodes I missed.

I'll leave you with this picture of Alessia in her playroom watching the snow falling outside which I'm going to like with Annie's Friday Smiles.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Hugs,
Michelle

**Sorry for the delay, I planned to get this up when I got home from work last night, but arrived home to an emergency situation. Our furnace quit working and it was only 13C in the house. Just for perspective, it was -10C (-25C with the windchill) outside. Spent the entire evening on the phone with the insurance and repair companies and then huddled in front of the fire while waiting for someone to show up. The furnace motor is terminally ill and needs to be replaced, but he did get it working again until he can get the new motor on Monday.**

Rocking Your World Week 4

Once again it is Friday and that means that it's time to link up with Virginia and shout out our positives for the week.

First of was the lovely visit with Mum and Dad who we haven't seen since the end of November. Made Dad happy by fixing his computer so that he could once again Skype with the rellies in Wales.

Next was several days of early finishing at work. It's so nice to get home before it gets dark in the evening.

Another positive this week was really cheap gas prices. Filling up a truck puts a large dent in the wallet, so the more money we can keep in our pockets the better!

Lunch today with an old friend/co-worker I haven't seen in about a year. Had a wonderful time catching up on each others goings on and made another lunch date for next month.

My granddaughter Alessia starting to take her first steps by holding on to the furniture and walking around it. This weekend we will be converting our dining room into a playroom for her as it has a door that can be closed to keep her out of trouble.

And, just because this picture makes me smile I will be linking up with Annie's Friday Smiles. I took this photo on the way to Great Gramma and Grampa's house for visit.

Thanks for stopping by.

Rocking Your World Friday Week 3

Wow, I turned around and it's not even Friday anymore! Oh well, better late than never.

Its been a pretty quiet week for me so not a long list.

First up, being able to do a bit of card making while on my lunch at work. While doing that I was able to see my squirrels that I feed. Whenever I have a loaf of unfinished bread I bring it to work for these little guys. They made out like bandits this week as I cleared out the freezer-burned hot dog and hamburger buns. It's so funny to see them running back and forth to get their goodies.

I also received my Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up this week. I took a peek and can't wait to actually get in there and make up the adorable treat bags.

On Sunday Mr R and I went out for a lovely dinner to celebrate his birthday. It was at one of our favorite restaurants. I had prime rib which is my favorite meals and it was so yummy!

That's about it for the week so I will leave you with this picture of my grandbaby who just loves her Nan's ball cap.

Off to link up with Virginia at Celtic House.
Thanks for stopping by.

Rocking Your World Friday-Week 2

Wow, here we are already two weeks into 2015. That means it's time to hook up with Virginia at Celtic House and share our happies for the week.

First off, a fairly quiet week at work for the first week back--bliss. This little guy was in the tree outside my office window. He's a little hard to see, but was so pretty with the red on his head. I watched him hop from branch to branch for about 5 minutes.

Next, my grand-daughter for just being so cute and happy all the time. She's getting so big. I can't believe that she's going to be a year old next month. Where does the time go?

Love the pink running shoes!

And my daughter for ordering in dinner for us last night because I didn't feel like cooking. Gotta love that!

Finally Mr R as always, for just being himself. And for making my lunch today. What a nice surprise that was, coming downstairs at 5:30 am all bleary eyed and discovering that everything had been done already. He's definitely a keeper!

Not a huge list this week, but it made the cold gray winter a little brighter.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
Michelle

Rocking Your World Friday-Week 1

Well, here we are at the first Friday of the new year. What a year 2014 was. There were ups (the birth of our grandbaby) and downs (having to say goodbye to my bulldog best friend). Mostly things fell into the good category so not too much to complain about.

Christmas morning before everyone else got up--so peaceful.

Found this precious ornament during a last minute trip to the mall on Xmas Eve day.

My little reindeer.



Opening presents with Papa.

Had a wonderful couple of weeks off work, spending lots of time with my family. Christmas with the baby, New Years Eve with my sister-in-law. Several days spent in pj's reading and watching Mr. R play his new video games. Getting some stuff done around the house. And to finish the week off, dinner out before the babes comes home for the weekend.

Off to link up with Virginia at Celtic House and turn in for the night.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
