a little catch up

Thanksgiving has come and gone. I went shopping Friday morning. I go by myself, on a mission and managed to be done by 9 AM. I got some great deals and didn't have to stand in line anywhere for too long. I also managed to make it from Menards in Washington to Grand Prairie Mall in 15 minutes. Got to love no traffic and hitting all green lights!
We were going to cut our tree down on Sunday but it was snowing and the roads weren't great to drive to Talbots Tree farm so we will try again another day. Mia has been showing me what a big girl she is lately. Yesterday she helped me sort the laundry, match up socks and even folded a few towels for me. Dane's black eye is still there, getting light each day.
Now for the snow. I was ready for a good snow. I shoveled the driveway on Sunday and let Mia play in the snow. She had a blast. Then with the wind and such the driveway turned to a sheet of snow/ice and Tuesday I managed to chip that away so the driveway is nice and clear. My back is a bit sore but I think I will consider that my workout for the week. Mia loved the snow piles the plow made in front of our house and climbed up those over and over. She also loved eating the snow. Yes we talked about clean snow and dirty snow. No pics of the snow playing, I was bundled up and the camera was upstairs.
Matt either really wants a new tv or he's buttering me up for something. The last 2 night in a row he has started the tube for me and insisted that I go and read a book or something. SO I actually read a book, in the tub and just relaxed. It was very nice, I could get used to it. I do get one visit from Mia usually, just to check on me and see how the bubbles are doing.
