The week in review

This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster - both relaxing and stressful. Not stressful due to the usual holiday bustle, but because of the horrible 20-some degree weather with a lot of ICE on top of it (not to mention the terrible winds) all of which caused my car not to start come Monday. Strange given the fact that Monday's temps here were in the mid 40's. At any rate, my hubby put a new battery in it on New Year's Day (of course he had a very frustrating time trying to get the old one out because it was still frozen to the inside of my car). 

My good friend, Jesenia aka Chef Jesenia, and I had plans to FINALLY go to Murdough's Christmas Barn. A place which she had never been to before. I was supposed to drive us there, but since my car would not start that day, she drive us instead ...

I ended up buying a couple of little items ...

A couple of pics I took with my digital camera ...

Jesenia surprised me with this awesome mermaid mug and soup dish set for Christmas...💗

And, my gift to her was to treat her to a nice lunch after shopping at The Railroad House - another place which she has never been to before. While at Murdough's, I saw something that I thought she might enjoy and so I bought it for her as part of her Christmas gift. After Jesenia returned home, she took this pic of it and sent it to me. :)

Moving on, this is the last day of the company shutdown between Christmas and New Year's. As always, it went by WAYYYY too fast! I didn't do much for New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.

Wishing all a nice and safe weekend!
