Down the Frozen Lakes

I know my Sweetie isn't very impressed when I spend long hours in the lakes and ponds of Maine. Though she knows that it is that time of the year where we enjoy some winter activities like snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and of course her most favorite... ice-fishing.

She is happy that it is ice-fishing season already. What she is not happy about it.. is that I spend so much time out in the frozen lake while I am having some pains on my back, toes and joint. She is complaining that when I am hurting and in pain, she takes the toll because I bother her to rub my back with her magic ointment.

Well, what can I do? I can't work full time now considering the weather. We have snow storms almost twice a week so we can't work on a regular basis for obvious reasons. And for obvious reasons... it is the best time when fishes bite!

Alone on New Year's Day

My Sweetie is in California. She will be back on the 8th [I hope].

This is the very first New Year's Day that we didn't celebrate together since we got married. When she told me her plans last year, I was okay with it. It only sank deep when she finally got the ticket 6 months after. And I finally realized it's impact when she finally said goodbye to me at the airport.

Facebook page where she updates her 12-day Vacation.

Last week, we had a really bad snow storm that led to cancellations of thousand of flights. I was secretly hoping that it will continue so I can keep Sweetie to myself and celebrate New Year with her. But I knew deep in my heart that this vacation meant so much to her specially that she will finally reunited with her cousin whom she had not seen for more than 10 years.

Well, my Sweetie calls me everyday since she left to check on me and to share how her day was. And every time we speak on the phone... I knew how happy she is and how she misses me so much. And that is good enough reason that I let her go - at least for just a couple of weeks.

Her Creative Side

My Sweetie is really very creative. Well, I am not patronizing her. I am just amazed on how she does things.

Every Christmas since we got married, she would send out Christmas cards to family and friends which she made herself.

Here is this year's card that she sent out early this month.

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Cleaning Time

It’s not officially Winter yet but it feels like it. The crazy weather, the allergies, the sickness and the whole 9-yards that go with the changing season is all around me. And I have very little time in my hand now do play around so I need to really get ready with my fall cleaning before winter sacked me up.

So this weekend I planned to try the “air duct cleaning do it yourself” because I need to make sure that the air ducts are clear of debris so air can circulate properly for ventilation. I check out The Steam Team online and they offer an impressive house cleaning systems that can guarantee a total top of the line headache-proof cleaning system. I checked out some furniture cleaning tips too like their fabric upholstery cleaning Austin and I am just so happy that I am motivated enough to really take the next level in cleaning my house.

Well, I woke up to a wintery morning this day after Thanksgiving. Winter is almost here and there is no way I can take things easy. I need to prepare my home now and I do need help from The Steam Team. Wink*

Gold Panning is Over

I's been a while since I last wrote here. Aside from a few "guest posts" every not too often, my blogging really took a back seat because My Sweetie is now working on weekends too. Well, if she is not home on weekends I rather not be home too and blogging [I took a weekend job too and I hang out with some friends when I was not working]. And besides I really spent the whole summer gold panning which reminds me that I should have posted a lot of interesting blogs if I wasn't too lazy to do so. Well, what else is new? [I can hear My Sweetie saying]

Okay, so gold panning is over folks because the river is too cold to dredge now. I will not brave it for hypothermia's sake because I have big plans for next summer.

Summer is long gone and it is now fall... it's time for Deer Hunting season... which starts TODAY!
