Elf in the morning!

 

The face of bitter coffee.. 

The face of Buddy the Elf! 

My face is smiling as I have Elf on the tv and a stout cuppa jolene here at my side. Feet up taking in the feel of the living room in it's "closer to done" state.  Fresh fruit for breakfast, and a paint can with my name on it.  Before I head up to The Baked Pueblo today I am gonna bust out the painting on the walls that I primed 2 days ago.

I am trucking in a bunch of sprouted goodness to my mom's today as well as food for me to partake in while I spend a few days up in Tucson. The Mother Unit is having a procedure done on Monday,  and I am so lucky to be close enough to be there for her. That's the one thing that is kinda sticking out in my thoughts today.

Gratitude for my mom. And when I think of that I inevitably think of my pals... and all the love I have in my world. I may not see many of these friends that often, but that doesn't mean the love ain't there. And of course no post on love of friends would be complete without mentioning my four-legged BFF's
Rosey..

 And Marvin...

My love for both is huge.. and also... my "baby sister" Tianna the cheehoo (chihuahua) of The Mother Unit.. she's a sweetheart in my world! But I have no pics of her.

Today I celebrate the incredible people I have in my world... and I thank you all!
