The Orange Bridge

 Hello Everyone! My gosh I have been silent since before Christmas, so I will give you a brief update.
 p.s. This is the result of yet another 8 hours or so of snow flurries
(The only pic I have of Christmas Eve)
 
My Christmas Eve was the worst probably in my life. I got the flu early in the morning and spent the whole day in bed minus like an hour or so where I "tried to watch t.v. or spend time with family"
It was a weird flu! For some reason whenever I tried to watch t.v. I just felt worse and had to go back to bed.
(I will admit I even cried at a point thinking I might MISS CHRISTMAS!!!!)
But the Mr. went and got me some Buckley's cold and flu... and on Christmas morning I was feeling about 90% So thank God for that. Some other people told stories of feeling like crap for days so I guess I kind of lucked out.... a bit.... somehow.... okay well maybe it would have been better to not have got the flu at all.
THE ONLY plus side.... is I didn't intake any calories that day so I had lots to spare for Christmas and Chinese food.
*wink*
 I did miss my traditional Chinese Christmas Eve buffet dinner. But we made up for it on December 26. So instead of wearing a red Christmas dress and get all dolled up. (I actually went in sweatpants a tshirt and a wool sweater.) *Ahhhh such is life*
Just goes to show you can't plan everything.
 This was what I wore out today shopping. The tank top is a cute 60s tent style found at a thrift for $1. These pics were taken in a local park. This spot is the little "Japanese" garden area.
 Mr. and I
Stopping here for pics was a last minute decision. But it was so gorgeous with all the fresh snow I am glad we did.
