I got a bit of a surprise/shock today when I found a wonderful gift waiting for me in my inbox! Someone out there in blogdom has been kind and generous enough to gift me with a $25.00 gift card for eHandcrafts! I'd like to share with you my Secret Stitcher's lovely words :Wishing you and your family the joy and happiness of the season and more of the
same in the coming New Year.Merry Christmas to a wonderful stitcher and blogging friend,
From Santa
So to whomever you are, thank you so much! I haven't made my selections yet... but when I have I will be sure to share with all of you. You really brightened up my day and my mood, and faith in the Season. I think tomorrow I will put up my tree and think of you while I put each stitched ornament on it.
I had a lovely, peaceful day at home by myself today. Also, it was a little too cold to go out! So I planted myself in my favourite stitching chair, watched episodes of Star Trek : The Next Generation all day (see I'm a geek!) and worked on Paradigm Lost. I'm still plugging away at page 4 but the end is in sight. Its taken me all day to get near the end of this good-sized motif. I'll have to measure it tomorrow and tell you how bit it is, but nowhere near as bit as the 6" one! Tomorrow I can look forward to starting page 5 (out of 12).
Also tomorrow is ... Tuesday! Argh, the dreaded weigh in day! I've managed to be active the last three days, so I'm hoping this will counter-balance the few treats I've had this past week. On Saturday I did a 5K run, Sunday I spent an hour shovelling the driveway with Todd, and tonight I went to Taekwon-Do and got a nice little sweat going.
See you tomorrow (actually I should say today since its well after midnight)!

Wow! 5k run! I can't do 5k on a bike...but maybe in 2009! That's awesome:) More great progress on PL!!
Hi Dani,
Your Christmas cactus is blooming
right on schedule I see. What a
gorgeous colour!!
Wow. You're going to have fun
thanks to your secret Santa.
Can't think of anyone nicer
to receive such a gift.
And you're a trekkie too!!
Hello!! Are you like me and
waiting with baited breath
and some trepidation for the
movie coming out in May??
Oh, and did you hear that
Majel Barret passed away last
week??? She was only 76. I
met her about 10 years ago at
a convention (yes, I'm a geek
too) and heard her speak about
Star Trek and her husband and
his dreams.
Hope you have a successful
weight in tomorrow. Sure
sounds to me like you're
being good this season. It
surely can't be easy to do
that.
Hope you have a Merry
Christmas and best wishes
for the coming New Year.
Cheers!!
I love the color of the flower on your Christmas Cactus!!!
Merry Christmas - and for the inner geek - check out the Terminator 4 trailer - it's online and another one I can't wait for!
