Twenty Three Weeks and Three Days To Go

In 23 weeks and three days I will retire. Yippee.

I have the candle on the mantle deal going. I started two and a half weeks ago with 26 candles, one for each week I still have to go to work. I took the first one down, the once I couldn't get to light anyway. Hubby took the second one down, next week boy A will take one down, then boy B. We take turns choosing where to go out to dinner each week, we might as well take turns pulling off the candles.

The thing is I'm adding to my hobbies. I'm not sure that is such a good thing, I will have extra time, but I sure won't have extra money. Friend-K has been a stamping fool for years. She makes gorgeous hand made holiday cards. She does such nice work she has gotten Friend N and I interested too. Now I'm spending mucho bucks on stamps, inks, papers, etc. But it will be fun. Actually the most fun will be when the three of us get together, make cards and/or scrapbook pages and sit and talk.
