Day 133:

Another nice day – not as warm as yesterday, but still nice out.  Although, that will all change since snow is in the forecast for Saturday!  Actually, this will be Remi’s first snow fall – I wonder what he’ll do?

Today, I took this photo of him hanging out with Tisha in the den

and then I noticed what he was chewing on…

his collar!

Day 133:

It’s a bit warmer today here in New Fairfield, CT – thank goodness since I was able to give the pellet stove a break – before I shut it down, I snapped this pic of Remi enjoying its warmth

I seemed to be on the phone and my laptop all day today – it’s a good thing I enjoy both.  Dinner was quick and easy since Joe is still working nights. 

I have been reading up on all the housing market statisticsHomes sales have shown gains for the past few months and mortgage applications were up even during the Thanksgiving holiday.

Day 132:

I can’t believe that I am still cleaning up after Thanksgiving.  Whenever I think I’m done – I find more that needs to be moved or put back – and…. in 3 weeks, our home will once again be filled with guests for Christmas Eve

Goods news today regarding my clientscontracts have been signed by both my buyers and the sellers.  This is a special home, and they are extremely fortunate to soon be the owners.

Remi is starting to warm up to his new toys.  The blue toy makes noise, and, at first,  he did not like that. Now, he is bringing it to his bed…

Here today in New Fairfield, CT – was very chilly – Well, more like freezing!  I couldn’t seem to warm up.  I was extremely tempted to turn on our furnace – but didn’t.  Between the pellet stove and fireplace – I am amazed that the house stays s warm.  Sometimes the kitchen gets a bit chilly, it always does.  With 5 kids and our pets going in and out, it is very difficult to keep this room toasty warm - and of course,  that is where I am most of the day!

Once again, I worked until the wee hours while watching Christmas themed movies on the Hallmark channel - trying to stay up until Joe got home who didn’t come in until after 1:30 am – he is now working nights.

Day 3 – and we have Food Networks 12 Days of Cookies with The Neely’s Best Sugary Butter Cookies – I can’t wait to bake these!

Day 131:

Monday – back to work for many – back to dieting and continuing their holiday shopping since Christmas will soon be upon us.

I have already started making mental notes of what to serve on Christmas Eve – which will be spent with my side of the familyChristmas Day will be spent with Joe’s side of the family.  Of course fish is at the top of the list for this special dinner.  My family and husband were born and raised in Portugal and my husband especially, is a huge fish lover – shell-fish being his absolute favorite.   When we go out dinner – he orders seafood and steak – and I… chicken.  I am always saying that I am a cheap date!

The other special food is COOKIES!  I have started posting Food Networks 12 Days of Cookies and this is helping me come up with some different and new cookies recipes to bake for the holidaysSugar cookies are my favorite and I have not made Gingerbread cookies in years – maybe it’s time!

OK – back to work and enjoying that David has taken such an interest in our fish tank.  He went out and purchased an air bubble device – more fish and a few toys for Remi….

                                                      Fish loving the air bubbles…

                                                 One of Remi’s new toys…

                                    until he spotted his new ginormous tennis ball!
