On Ice... Rest in the nest!

ON ICE

not this kind

not this kind
yep....this is it!
knee surgery on 11/30
and I am NOT a stay at home girl! So I am making plans on what will occupy my time for at least 2 weeks away from my job in the Health Room at school and then light duty when I return. You see I won't be allowed to run with a wheelchair, perform CPR, blah, blah, blah. I know I've told you I love my job...so this is a set back but only temporary.
I've never had any kind of bone or joint repairs. Lucky. Blessed. Tonsils and Adenoids, 2 C- sections, Hysterectomy, 1 Kidney removed but this is more intimidating because it might keep me down! So I've planned ahead...(if pain isn't involved of course, lol) to make cards for Christmas, to donate to local places for fundraisers, to learn some simple beading techniques, watch a few dvds I have wanted to see, and not gain 89 lbs.!!!
so a pedicure is a priority while I can bend my knee
crafts have been purchased at Michael's (with many a coupon I might add)
I've made a list of dvds I would like to see (some I've seen but that never bothers me)
my Kindle is loaded
I'm ready to be as good as new.
If any of you know of someone in the military that would like to have cards sent to them,
it would be an honor to make cards and personalize them for someone special.

Happy Landing...best nest!

i believe i've had a happy landing!
a wooden heart welcomes you - a warm smile follows
glass catches the morning light,
family and friends photos share surfaces,
sayings in frames inspire and tell you of
the meaning of love, spirit, Life, friendship and more
i'm reviving,rejuvenating,making new friends,
sharing my new nest with special friends...
my spirit rests as I nest! 

p.s. my new friend = "Francesca"
Mother, Nana, RN, Holistic Medicine, dancer, traveler...
housemate.

Many Happy Returns - It was a Fun Weekend!

**the photos shown in the post are representative of ideas, npt actual items I purchased this weekend. I will post my treasures in a future blog....jennifer
sneakers on...
I PEERED THROUGH MY GARDEN GATE
Spring flowers blossoming
And I knew it was time to venture out
The weather was chilly and windy,
so I didn't travel as far as I'd have like.
I picked up some vintage jewelry,
2 ironstone pieces
a clay pot to tuck in my garden
Bits and pieces of vintage lace
Mismatched transferware
Great ephemera
Some picture frames, a funnel and a silly wire frog!
**I promise to post my real finds later this week!
Jennifer
not too much money spent, lots of fun, lunch with a friend, dinner at another friends, I vacuumed, did dishes, relaxed, slept in, it was very cool.then...
back to my nest!
