The Winter Wind Wants Us To Stay Inside

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 21 Jan

I just got back from my walk this morning and for once I didn't see another soul out of the streets. Have to admit that the wind was pretty nasty on occasion, but I was already wearing a touk and it took only seconds to pull up...

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 20 Jan

It was -5 c this morning and I wasn't quite sure that I would go out or my walk, but I'm on a streak and didn't want to break it. So... I put on 2 layers of everything and headed out. I certainly wasn't expecting to go more than a...

What did You Do Today??

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 16 Jan

It's been a while since I have been on SuperBetter but I went back over today and one of my quests was to go for a walk around the block and smile at someone. I didn't really want to because it's miserable out there but I did it...

Lunches Have Become a Big Problem In Our House

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 13 Jan

We have a vegetarian in the house who relies on Marmite for all of his lunches. Well, the day came a few weeks ago when we finally ran out. We have always had a lot of jars on hand because of how much we use the stuff....

Have You Ever Gone Ice Fishing??

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 12 Jan

Would you even want to? Personally, it would be the last thing I think I would want to do. From the minute that I arrived, I would be wondering how thick the ice was beneath the hut... would it break some time during the...

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 10 Jan

What are you doing to stay busy today?? For me, it was a walk to see how many snowmen have been made in my neighbourhood. I expected a few, but I was pleasantly surprised at how many there were and all the detail that had gone...

Any Surprises Under The Christmas Tree??

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 29 Dec

I haven't begun taking it down yet, but I did remove the garland that was on the floor beneath the tree. I wanted to sweep under there so dust bunnies didn't begin partying under there. That's when I saw it!! There was a little...

Our Christmas Pudding was a Flop!

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 28 Dec

I don't know why, but this year our Christmas Pudding just was awful. It was a light brown in color and it was almost tasteless. It should be heavy on the spices and almost black in colour. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that...

Merry Christmas... What time did you get up this morning?

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 25 Dec

I guess that most of us have grown children and I'm sure we took advantage of the day off. Me, I was up at 8 a.m to get the Christmas Muffins going. They turned out awesome by the way and I think that there might be two left. I...

What's For Christmas Dinner Tomorrow??

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 24 Dec

Have to admit that I get off easy. Hubby loves to cook which lets me off the hook. I love to bake which he doesn't like, so we are a good match. I did help with the Christmas Pudding because that is hubby's area of expertise...

Have You Wrapped Everything At Long Last??

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15010) • Canada 22 Dec

Being the date that it is, and the fact that I want to stay away form people if at all possible, my wrapping is finished. I did end up placing things in gift bags and it was a whole lot easier. I did wrap everything in a few...
