And November gloominess.<br />And what saves me is lots and lots of Christmas color and lights, coming soon.<br />I don't like the sparse look at all. I am decorating with a little one in my mind and I want her to see the magic!<br />When I was about 5 my Mom took me downtown Chicago to Marshal Fields and all the the wonderful displays. I will never forget how in awe I was. Now that's Christmas to me, through the eyes of a child.<br />Wish I was closer we could head downtown Chicago for some cheer. Hey, I want to do that at Christmas time. Hang in there sweetie.<br />Hugs friend,<br />CindyCindy (Applestone Cottage)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03761029458170652533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-33901559386866355122013-11-07T20:08:54.400-06:002013-11-07T20:08:54.400-06:00Hi Janie!

This gross weather doesn't help any, that's for sure! Even Tim was telling me today (via text) that he felt so blah with all the rain and it getting dark at 4:30. I don't buy any Christmas magazines, but I agree with you that the picture you posted from the magazine doesn't even LOOK Christmas! Nothing wrong with paring things down, but that room at least needs a little more "glitter" and at least some pretty white lights. Too bad you can't return magazines! lol Now one thing that looks wonderful is your goulash. Yum-yum! I'm sending you a warm, happy hug. xoxoMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-28106233476835276942013-11-06T12:10:34.640-06:002013-11-06T12:10:34.640-06:00I'm with you - those houses look boring.

I love a glitzy Christmas mag whether I go that way or another. <br /><br />I am blah, too, and was sick as a dog yesterday. Trimble headache that made me queasy and sick at my stomach. Felt better when Mr. Magpie brought me a mocha frappuchinio. The caffeine and chocolate really worked. I had to sip it in stages. That was the hard part. ;-)<br /><br />We won't talk about yards.

Maybe there's something in the air.<br /><br />I have a confession to make. I rarely buy magazines. Guess I'm too cheap, but I find them so expensive so I just go to the library if I need a magazine fix. <br /><br />I hope you're feeling better today. Sometimes we just need a good night's sleep. And maybe we should tell Mother Nature to shed some sun your way too! <br />Doreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-71254574954080022052013-11-06T07:04:33.666-06:002013-11-06T07:04:33.666-06:00I think your seeds just went deep into the ground ...I think your seeds just went deep into the ground and will come up.

It worries me that you went from not sleeping to sleeping a lot. I remember back a few months ago that you were worried about your health. Maybe you should call your doctor just to make sure. <br />As far as the magazines.....I think since we can pick and choose what blogs we like, we get our fix from blogs and magazines are getting boring. I always love buying Christmas issues. Maybe others will suggest better ones for us to spend our money on.<br />I love those trees. I used to decorate every corner of the house. I don't as much but I still am far from being sparse. I am feeling the season approaching. Maybe it is a good idea to start early....less stress. Hope you feel better soon. I get in those moods often and it helps to vent.

We talked about we should do that more often. If I lived close, I'd come over and cheer you up! Maybe you will feel better soon! <br /><br />I'm with you on those magazine pictures. I don't see any Christmas in them! What's up with that?<br /><br />Tonight I've been sitting here, looking at You Tube videos of how to make various types of wreaths with decomesh, and how to use a tomato cage and decomesh to make Christmas trees. They would be really cute in the yard, or on the porch.<br /><br />Oh well, I'll shut up now! Thanks so much for visiting me!

After I finished, I thought, if Jane lived close, I would stop by with two "real" peppermint mocha's and a hug!<br /><br />I am sorry that you are feeling gloomy. <br /><br />I think that you are younger than me. I started having sleep issues in my late 40's and 50's. I made the big mistake of not prioritizing sleep, and got up and did laundry and ironing and projects. Make sure that you get at least 7 hours if you can. Catch a nap to recoup. The Husband needs his sleep too. You are a wonderful wife to get up with him. <br /><br />I rarely buy magazines any longer because my blog friends are so much more talented and inspiring. <br /><br />Bravo for tackling the garage!<br /><br />I just finished dinner and dishes and it's time to crash!

I would be disappointed in the magazines too, I want to see sparkle and lights and decorations!!! NO, I do not want to pare back or be simplistic. I have worked too hard to collect my things and love to display them so I will do it til I can't!!!! Feel better and hope you can get out of the house!!!!
