reading Julia Childs book, My Life in France.   (I do have to learn how to make words into links...  anyone have a simple explanation?)  It was interesting, and made me hungry!  Well, today I watched the movie Julia and Julie.  It was cute, and definitely worth a rental!  (Thank God for Netflix on snow logged days)

It's been a good weekend, (so far).  Friday night a much beloved niece graduated from college, with a major in Nursing.  There was a lovely ceremony for just the Nursing department grads.  Afterwards, there was a family party.  Everyone was relaxed and really seemed to have a great time.  Saturday was shopping in the next state, at this HUGE mall.  I've been looking for a converter to play my old VHS-C sized home movies in a regular VCR, so I can get someone to load them onto DVD's for me.  I hate the technology change overs....especially when it's old home movies.  I've already done the Super 8 to VCR conversions in the 80's  LOL   Isn't once enough?  Anyway,  Best Buy had one!  SCORE!  I helped a faux niece find a lovely dress for New Years Eve, she's a TALL girl, and everything seems like a micro mini on her....  this dress was short, but cute, a liitle formal but she looked like a million in it.  Isn't it great that I can get as excited over her dress as I would be if I had found one????  We hit a coat outlet, where she found a Micheal Kors long coat, and her sister found a dressy P  Coat style, so shopping was a success.  We went to a family party (the faux family) and saw folks I haven't seen in a year or two, and came back to our state to watch the Devils hockey game on a big screen.  I left for home about 10p, just as the snow was really hitting!  After a quick stop to ShopRite for snacks for today, I hunkered in.    

I got up today, dug out the car, scrubbed the bathroom, (oh the mundane chores of life) and read blogs for a LONG time.  I watched 2 movies while I played on the computer.  I am now (seriously) going to log off and write Christmas cards.  If they don't hit the mail tomorrow morning, they'll turn into New Years cards!!!  Thanks to all the interesting peopkle who blog....  You made my day!   Hope you all had a relaxing weekend, are staying (or getting) stree free for the holiday, and are taking time to enjoy the 'now'!  MC
