First off, hello everybody! How are you all this fine January day? I hope each and every one of you is doing well and having a marvelous week.
How was your Christmas? Mine was quite nice. I stayed home all day and had a fun and relaxing time with my family. Just right. <3
And now, I just have a few things to say. And I've decided to conquer my inexcusable habit of taking far too long to write a post so this one is going to be a quicky. Ready. Set. Go.
TEN THINGS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN
1. It's a new year people! If you are yet unaware of that fact, I suggest you "get aware"--and right quick, too--because if you want to get any sort of a good look at 2018 you need to take advantage of every single moment. Judging from past experience it's not going to stick around long.

| HAPPY NEW YEAR, FOLKS! |
2. It's cold here. I think maybe it's wintertime?
3. Going to work in the cold is not my cup of tea.
 |
| A day off? Maybe? |
 |
| Bummer. |
Note: Actually, to be honest, I've had quite a few days off lately because work at the motel has been slowing down of late. (It's not the season for traveling apparently?) So yeah, I really have nothing to complain of. Still it's an awkward fact that the less you work the less you want to work. And I confess I've been suffering from that malady a good deal lately.
4. I changed my blog look. (Like no! Never would have guessed that!) ("Thank you for pointing that out, my dear.")
What do you think?
5. I got some really sweet presents for Christmas this year. Two sets of super cute birthday cards (one from my parents and one from my sister), a lunch bag (with a beautiful floral design), earrings, and lots of candy! How about you? What did you get for Christmas?
6. I bought a set of Jane Austen books last month and I'm super happy about them. I finally own all of them! That is to say, all except Pride and Prejudice. That one wasn't included but I figured I'd be able to find a matching copy another time and the price was good for the other five books so...yeah. HAPPY! :D
7. Believe it or not, there is actually a point at which one's stomach can not handle being stuffed with any more candy. (Sad, but true.)
 |
| Trust me. I know. It happened to me just the other day. |
8. However! There's also a point at which one's stomach comes to it's senses and gets back to the normal routine. (Oh, happy day!!!) ("More sudar, marmer.")
9. What do you know? I can't think of anything for number 9.
10. Or number 10 either.
BUT GUESS WHAT?!! I wrote this post almost in the space of an hour. (And that's really something for me, so yay! I'm so proud of myself right now. ;))
Well, that's it! So long everyone! See you next time!
Yours truly,
Miss March
MISS MARCH!!!! What a great post. I loved it in all respects. Your pictures were, as always, just right and your new blog look is splendid!! It's so sweet and elegant and perfect!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't think Donald Duck has ever been so charming as he was assisting with this post. Hahaha.
I know what you mean about getting time off work and then being reluctant to return.
Well, I really didn't have so much time for a comment because I should actually be asleep by now but I couldn't resist.
Happy New Year!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, CORDY!! I'm so glad you approve. *big huge grin*
DeleteHaha. Well, I certainly had a lot of fun with him. ;D
Yes! Someone who understands! *hugs*
You gave up sleep to comment on my post?! Ahhhh! What have I done to deserve such a friend?! :) (Seriously though, I LOVE YOUR COMMENTS!! So thank you ever so much!! :))
Happy, HAPPY New Year, my friend!!!
~Miss March
Hahaha! You write such cute posts, Miss March! XD
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! <3

Aw, I'm so happy to hear that! Making people smile is what I love to do! :D Thank you for your kind words, Catherine!
DeleteHuzzah!
ReplyDeleteYES. IT'S SO COLD. WHY. (I guess, like you, it can be attributed to winter, BUT STILL.)
And I love your blog look!!! Winnie-the-Pooh <333 I actually have a little framed picture from one of the movies that I just hung above my bookcase, and it gives me great satisfaction. <3 :D
Yay for exciting Christmas gifts!! And yay for Jane Austen sets! I'm alllllmost finished with S&S and have loved it. :)
Fun post, m'dear! Hope your 2018 is off to a terrific start. *hugs*
"(I guess, like you, it can be attributed to winter, BUT STILL.)" Hahaha. True. But yeah, why must it be so VERY cold??
DeleteThank you! *grins* And oh yes, I love Winnie the Pooh pictures! They have such a refreshing, relaxing quality to them. Hanging one up in your room sounds like a splendid idea! :)
I'm so glad you've enjoyed S&S! This is your first time reading it, right?
Thank you!! 2018 is looking pretty good so far! :) I hope your new year proves to be wonderful as well! *hugs*
Your blog looks so beautiful and I LOVE WINNIE THE POOH. And the Donald Duck photos made me chuckle :) Also happy new year and i hope it's awesome
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brittany!! :D I hope your new year is great as well!! :D
DeleteHaha, Donald Duck this time! My little brother loves watching those cartoons.
ReplyDeleteYour new design is very cute! Winnie the Pooh. <3
Oohhh, those Christmas presents sound lovely! I got a jumble of presents (because my birthday is so close they seem to all come at once) but some of them were a copy of "Rilla of Ingleside", the DVDs La La Land and Beauty and the Beast, a new beach bag, a new cap, an exercise mat, a set of weights, lots of candles, soap, and a heap of chocolate and lollies. :D
(I was very spoiled.)
Lovely post! :)
My little brothers enjoy watching those, too. (As do I actually, when I'm in the mood for them. ;))
DeleteThank you!!
Oh wow! Such a lot of good things! Have you eaten all your chocolates yet?
Thanks again!
Yes, I don't mind watching a bit of Donald Duck either, occasionally. ;)
DeleteHaha, good gracious no! I know my limit on chocolate, and I have definitely worked on self control in that area. ;) I was given a giant box of chocolates for my birthday in 2016, and it lasted me a whole year, because I timed it so that I would have chocolate available to me the whole year round. XD
A WHOLE YEAR?!! Oh my! You are much, MUCH more disciplined than I am then. I could never keep a box of chocolates for a whole year. It would be gone long before that (unless I somehow forgot about it or something, haha).
DeleteI just took a closer look at your new profile picture. That's Meg from the new Little Women, isn't it? Have you seen the movie yet? (If so, what did you think of it?)
I love all the Beatrix Potter and Winnie the Pooh pictures! Such childhood memories... <3
ReplyDeleteBut I hope you're aware that, due to some rule that I don't know the name of [because I just made it up shhh], you will now find plenty of copies of Pride and Prejudice, yet none in the correct publication/size to match your set. It's an unfortunate fact of a bookworm's life, sadly.

Thanks! :D
DeleteHaha. That's how it works, huh? Oh dear. Why did no one tell me of this rule before I went and bought those books?! ;D
Eeeeek, I love the new header it's so cute squeeeeee!!
ReplyDelete5. I got rubber rainboots with multicolored polka dots and I am so unreasonably pleased. It's like being a little girl again. I also got the movie Fiddler On The Roof (have you seen that one??? I thought of you!!) and a new journal and some books and clothes... BUT THE RAINBOOTS.
6. Oooooh!! Jane Austen!!!
8. BAHAHAHAHAH THIS IS PERFECT.
What a lovely fun post!! I'm happy to be back so I can read them!! *hugs* And good job writing it in under an hour. Sometimes I write posts a little bit at a time so it takes me days or months to finish one and other times I bang out an entire fresh post in a few hours. So yes. It depends??
Thank you!!! :D
DeleteAw, your rubber boots sound adorable! *grins*
5. Yes, I've seen Fiddler On The Roof. We own it actually. Such a great movie!
6. Only the best. ;)
8. Heehee. ;D
Aw, thank you! And I'm so happy to have you back! *returns hugs* Yup. It definitely varies. Some posts take FOREVER to write, but others (thankfully) are a little more considerate and put themselves together quickly. I'm always glad when that happens. :)
((I'm so late))
ReplyDeleteLOVE the new look!!! Love hearing from you, this post is so happy!
Ugh, yes, cold. I hate going anywhere in the cold.
That's so cool about the Jane Austen books! I have them all except Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey, but none of mine match.
I love your Demi Brooke quote. :D I'm afraid I quite relate to the sugar problem.
Love this post, love you!! Sorry I'm so late!!
(I know! *frustrated sigh* What a horrible person you are, to come so late! Next time, BE ON TIME, okay?!) (Hahahaha. TOTALLY KIDDING!! :D There's no such thing as a late comment around here. Any time is a good time!)
DeleteAw, THANK YOU! That means a lot! <3
Ditto, ditto.
Yeah, I was pretty pumped about it. Still keeping an eye out for Pride and Prejudice.
Eeek! You got the quote! I was hoping someone would get that! *happy dance* :D But oh yes. Sugar. It really is SUCH a problem, isn't it?
LOVE YOU, TOO! (And nonsense. You're not late. So you have nothing to be sorry about!! :))
