Yes, my husband is crazy about them too. I'm looking forward to packing them up soon and getting the carpets cleaned and doing some purging of my own. :) Thanks for the encouragement tonight! I've kinda been MIA on and off the past six months...have missed everyone! You have a super week and keep on cookin! You're right, sometimes we do quit doing some of the things we adored when we were younger as we mature... :) I'm wanting to bake some Madeleines soon...you've just convinced me that it's still worth it! :) Thanks! ~CC Catherine~CC Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792691562262851929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-21623758967385674532010-01-14T23:11:17.638-06:002010-01-14T23:11:17.638-06:00Hi Jane!

During this time, I usually start vacation planning. I also like to think about gardening and what I'm going to do outside in the deck for the summer. It helps brighten my outlook, as I need something to look forward to after a long, cold winter.<br /><br />JaneSigning Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316791722114615219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-14359246964038407072010-01-14T09:46:27.472-06:002010-01-14T09:46:27.472-06:00Thanks sooo much for your nice comment yesterday!

And for your generous bid!!<br /><br />I have had a serious case of the "blahs" this past month and just can't get motivated to do much of anything useful (speaking of...can you send Emily over?! I'll gladly pay her. :-). My job has been a bear so I'm going to blame that for my funk. I didn't even want to go to a thrift store we parked in front of this weekend...can you imagine?!? It sounds like you're doing better than me with your "to do" list -- you'll have plenty of blog material in no time. Besides...there are no rules about how much/often you have to write on your blog. That's one of the many things that makes blogging so great. :-) xo, LauraLaura @ the shorehouse.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442672928319257413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-41336387339928272752010-01-13T23:12:34.095-06:002010-01-13T23:12:34.095-06:00I feel the smae way about taking down all the Chri...I feel the smae way about taking down all the Christmas.

Life ebbs and flows. If it were all exciting all the time, we'd all be exhausted!<br /><br />Plus -- I think January is one of those months where we all slow down. It's sort of the definition of anti-climax. <br /><br />The fun part of blogging is that it is not mandatory! Do it when you want to -- and if there are more posts like this one, that's OK -- this one was great!<br />CassCass @ That Old Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173199705431319322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-86073548043641370112010-01-13T20:41:43.246-06:002010-01-13T20:41:43.246-06:00Not a thing wrong with random my dear...I too HATE...Not a thing wrong with random my dear...I too HATE Jan.with a passion,can hardly wait for spring!!

I have the after Christmas blues too and am just trying to survive day to day right now. I get Bloggers block a lot and sometimes I just don't have the ambition for a tablescape etc. On another note, I look forward to seeing how you do the cloche you two got in Galena! I think cloche's are hard to do, and I am always amazed by things other's come up with. Well take care my friend, thinking of you and wishing you a happy week, hey we're over hump day now.

It's been bad...with not so good things happening. I am looking forward to February and little teensy hints of Spring. I am going to take your advise and head over to Macy's.
