Tripping Through Life

What a fun weekend we had!  We rented a wood splitter and spent all day Saturday and most of Sunday splitting the rounds of wood that my hubby had spent the last couple of months cutting with his chain saw.  It was a lot of work, but it was fun, and of course, we had to see just how fast we could keep things moving when splitting the wood.  Well, it’s done for now and we have multiple piles of wood sitting around in our forest–and they do look good, all those mounds of wood.  Unfortunately, we now have to bring all that wood up the hill closer to the house so it can keep us warm on these cold, cold days . . . but I guess that is another job for another day.   :o)

I have just about had it with the glitter! I received a few Christmas cards with glitter on them, and thought, boy, what a pain. But then I had to run out and buy a few more Christmas cards to send out to people because I ran out of the cards we had bought earlier. Well, there wasn’t much to choose from in the store, and at only 3 days before Christmas, they weren’t even on sale (thanks, Target!). So I looked around and found a couple of boxes with nice looking cards in them. When I got them home and opened them, I realized (duh!) that one of the boxes had cards with glitter on them, plus there was glitter all over the envelopes, and glitter just all over inside the box–yuck! Well, I had to, so I sent them out. If you got one from me, I apologize!
My husband had some cards with only a small area that had glitter on them. The next day after getting those ready to mail, a guy in his office asked him why he had glitter on his forehead. My hubby was able to explain that no, he wasn’t trying to make a fashion statement!
So, I make my first New Year’s resolution . . . I will not buy any more cards (or anything else) with glitter on them! You know, that is one resolution that will change the world. :o) Hey, we all have to start somewhere!
(And, I wonder what exactly they make glitter out of these days anyway. I am sure that it is not the same as the way they used to make it, way back when.)
