The end of the 7th day of December

My 7th day of December ended on a chilly note...the temperature outside and the delightful dessert-after-church, a kids-sized gingerbread milkshake.  Talk about a Christmas party in my mouth!  It was delicious!!!  And even more sweet...SPENDING TIME WITH MY FRIEND!!!!

We even managed to score a chocolate mint for dessert with our dessert.  Free chocolate!!!  And people say "You can't get nothin' for free anymore!"  Well, to those people, I say, "Yes - there are two things that I know of that are free....the little chocolate mint AND my advice."  Technically, there are times when I wish I could charge for my advice but alas, I am just the engineering secretary and not a therapist. 

Speaking of "therapist" -- I know a third thing that's totally free...BLOGGING!  Well, you have to have internet...but I suppose you could use the library's free internet.  Ooooh I remember the days when I didn't have internet at the cottage and I would venture to the Rockton Center Branch of the library....2 words - screaming children!  When those same screaming children started in with a "colorful" vocabulary - that was when I drew the line and took a hard look at my budget and started slashing non-essentials to afford internet.  Now I can blog in my flannel jammies at the cottage.  Life is good.  I suppose I could have gone to the library in my jammies and blogged...but I am not that girl.  Have you noticed how many people shop at Wal-Mart in their jammies?  It's crazy! 

Happy 7th day of December.  I hope you did something absolutely delightful today.
