woke up at 1:30 am to see the moon shining through the window… just above it and off to the side was a bright planet… a few seconds later it was covered by clouds… again, amazing to wake up at just the right moment to see the beautiful view…

then, on our way to the office, I got this view…

  
a Facebook memory this morning from four years back showed this lovely amaryllis… I had taken the picture looking out the window at the snow…

  
here is a picture of the amaryllis that I bought this year around Christmas… showed a beautiful pale pink flower on the box…

  
sadly, not a single blossom…

but the amazing thing is that the orchid continues to bloom… I so love flowers in the depths of winter…

  
more beautiful moments in my life…

today marks 3 years since I started herbiggirlpants… 

as I was sitting out in the hot tub tonight, gazing at the stars, I was feeling a bit sorry for myself… happy that I have kept up blogging on a regular basis, but feeling that I haven’t done as much to help others who are going through the loss of a loved one…

also missing my beloved…

the Advent fairy came this morning with a box full of boxes… spent a few minutes before leaving the house lining them up on the counter…

  
I love presents, which might be why I enjoy Advent so much, lol… day 1 was a lovely purple ball for the tree… which I haven’t put up yet… have plans with a friend to decorate this weekend… excited to see what suggestions she has to change things up…


this is a picture of what the missing magnetic covers looked like… I was able to download it from Facebook this morning…

thinking of so many who I know who are struggling with health issues these days…

I am quite a fan of technology… today after reading a great article on Pinterest I purchased camera + for my iPhone… have already spent some time with it and look forward to the things it can do…

I quite enjoy Pinterest, and seeing what people I follow are looking at, as well as what others are pinning… it can be just a little addictive, lol…

one of the things I do at work is provide a monthly Tech Tip for my colleagues… it is great fun to search out new little tidbits to share… often I learn them from a colleague… it always amazes me what tricks and shortcuts each of us know and use, and just assume that everyone else knows…

one that I particularly appreciate was demonstrated by a colleague a few months ago… it has to do with Facebook and adding links to a post… the trick makes the post look so much tidier, so I thought I would share it with you…

you write the post, and then add the hyperlink… wait just a few seconds and the hyperlink goes into the post, along with the actual picture and story…

now you can delete the hyperlink and only the picture and story remain… you can see how this tidies up the look of the post…  I do like things to be tidy…

give it a try…

busy day at work…

came home, had pho for dinner and helped set up a Facebook page and the Facebook app on an iPhone… was lots of fun…

heard from my accountant that two documents were missing from my tax stuff so had to go upstairs to the computer room and search through many, many, pieces of paper… eventually found what was needed and then had to remember how to scan and send a document…

finally figured it out and then went into the area where the scans were kept and started reading the ones that my son-in-law had done of the cards we received when George died…  made me cry, but I couldn’t stop reading them…

one of the cards we received...

one of the cards we received…

eventually the phone rang and I was able to pull myself away from them…

i miss my beloved…
