It is the beginning of a new year and many of us want to make changes in their lives, well if you don't know about Zumba yet, I would like to introduce you to it. If you love dancing and hate exercising, that might be for you. I love my Zumba work out twice a week, I wish I could do more, but with my back problems, two times a week will do, one hour long, great music, excellent teacher and many friends, it is just great. You don't even know you are working out, it is so much fun. Give it a try and see what it can do for you. Believe me, you will be hooked and asking for more.
Youtube has many Zumba instructors and classes showing what they are doing, how it is done and what it is all about. My favorite one is from MarceesZumbaParty Michael Jackson Wanna Be Startin Something. You go girl!
So check it out and have fun.

Just a few pictures!
We had a wonderful and traumatic sunrise the other morning. The colors were so bright. I had to go out in my bathrobe and take the pictures. We have wonderful sunrises, but this was just out of the ordinary.
We started remodeling our small bathroom downstairs in December, 5 days before my husband went into surgery for his knee. Not a good idea! We had this planned for a very long time, but I don't know what got over us to do it in the last minute, of course we are not done yet, but we are getting there. Thank goodness the toilet and the sink were put in before he had the surgery, because now he wouldn't be able to do it. We bought the lighting fixture a few days ago and will put it up this weekended, hopefully. Will take pictures when it is all done! I will never use a paint with a primer in it, very bad idea. Well, I did not listen to my husband, he told me not do it, but I want to cut time, well it has been a pain, I had to repaint several times and than the tape along the edges took the paint right off again. On my visit the next time to Home Depot, they will hear how bad this paint/primer is. It did not work, how it should worked. Well, you live and learn.
And last but not least, a few more pictures of my wonderful kitties.
Ta Ta, for now.

1. Advent!
Today is the first Advent, my goodness, time is just running. I don't even have my Advent wreath on the table. I haven't started baking yet either. I still have one more show to do and than hopefully can start making these wonderful treats. Can't wait to add more pounds to my hibs, LOL. I just have to double up on the Zumba workout. It does wonders! Love it.
We are still eating on our Turkey leftovers tonight and that will be it, had enough, the rest will be frozen for later meals.
Our new TV is working just fine,tomorrow we will get HD hooked up and we are in. We haven't bought a TV for 17 years, I guess it was time. The old heavy clunker had to go. It weight a ton, 3 people had to haul it out of the house, we are having somebody picking it up later on, it is free! We had only 10 people line up at that store, including us, everyone was waiting their turn, this is how it should be.
We still cannot get over all these people in Walmart on Thursday, like I said before, we will never do this ever again. These 15/20 minutes what I have spent in that store was enough for me. I am suprised all these stores are getting away with this safety hazard and the Fire Department let this happen, there is no safety at all.
If you really think about, what is the meaning of Christmas, I do not think it is shopping like a mad person and pepper spraying people in the face, just to get to this item or shooting somebody while they are going to their car. My gosh what is happening, it seams the people are getting every year more violent and don't care at all. Everyone wants to save money, myself included, but not this way. Christmas should not be about presents,we have been married a long time, we do not give each other anything, why, Christmas in our house if you see it that way, is all year long.
I had to run some errands with my husband on Saturday, I was afraid to be stuck in that mess again, but it was so pleseant, nobody in the store, we went to Michaels and I had no problems purchasing my ribbon for 60% off and on top of it I got another 20% off my total purchase. What a bargain! I am all stocked up on ribbon, you can never have enough!

Never, never again!
In my last post,I wrote about us going to the Black Friday Sale for a freezer chest and a TV. What can I say, never again! This was our first and last time we did something like that. Now I know what crazy means.
We went at 10 p.m. to Walmart, that was the first mistake, because we thought we could save $10 on our freezer, ha. We parked 5 blocks away and had no idea how we would haul that thing from the store to the car, but we didn't even have a chance to buy it. We went into the store and about fell on our butts, we have never seen so many people in one store and you know Walmart is big, they just packed them in there, you couldn't even go through the isles, they had them roped off, people were standing in the electronic department and waiting until midnight for the sale and there was the lines just for paying. We would have to stand with everyone else just to get the ticket for that item, we ran around for 15 minutes just to find the end of the line so we can stand in line to pay, some people even got nasty and told us not to cut in, we did not, we had to go through just to find the end. We had it, we said, the heck of it and left, it was not worth it to stand in line for 3 hours just for paying, we went home and sat on the couch and tried to get in a small snooze just to get up at 3 in the morning and to go to our local Bi-Mart and buy the 46" LED LCD flatscreen TV and it was great, we got to the parking lot at 3:20 and nobody was there, we even beat the employees of that store, we were all mummed up in blankets and waited until the store opened at 5 and we had
victory, we were the lucky ones, they had only 10 TV's and we took one home. Merry Christmas to us! Last weeks table display from the craftshow!
