weekend bits.

We took our Christmas tree down yesterday, all signs of the holidays are gone aside from our pantry being full to the tippy top with Christmas cookies, chocolates and candies. I must cut down on sugar so today the sweets are going straight to my work office for my co-workers to enjoy. While I packed up the Christmas decorations it was a good excuse to get rid of a few things that we don't use anymore and donate them. Shiraz followed my every move, he almost seemed sad to see our Christmas tree go too. He's so nutty my cat and has to know every single thing that goes on in "his" house ;) Our home feels rather bare now but a clean-up felt great. I ended it all off with some herbal tea, it's my newest thing, i've switched coffee for tea in the evenings. I'm sleeping better and feeling better too. 2011, so far so good!

How was your weekend? What did you do?

  1. As always great photos! Love your kitty.

    As for the weekend, it was fun...we saw Black Swan...that was a highlight.
    Need to cut down on the sugar too, such a hard habit to break. It sounds like you are making good changes...I need to follow suit!

  2. Wow! Your photos are beautiful & your blog is lovely.

    It felt like a good cleanse to put the holiday decorations away at our house. I am always ready to get back to normal.

  4. Shiraz is so gorgeous! What breed is he?

    Our tree came down last week and the lounge room looked so bare without it. Still, like Amy R. said it does feel cleansing to put it all away for another year.

    And your photos are very beautiful.

  10. Thanks so much guys!! Annelise, he is an abyssinian cat. I've had cats my whole life but never like an abby, they want so much attention. Shiraz is such an amazing cat :)

  13. I'm going to switch to tea too - but only because I want to take a pretty photo like you did! Sonia and Eric are adorable - especially their snowy engagement photo! I de-Christmas on boxing day - I think that is why it's called boxing day - it's the day everything goes back in boxes!
