It’s off to work I go! I believe I mentioned in one of my previous postings that I was transferred over to the Troy location, my alumn school, Russell Sage for Women. When I was hired almost a year ago, I mentioned that I preferred this campus just because I was familiar with the campus, programs and faculty members. But there wasn’t a position open. Good things come to those who wait and a position finally opened up after months of patiently waiting. I’ve been here for about three weeks now.
And I love the commute. It’s only five minutes- six if it’s a little snowy. I get to wake up later and not have to worry about traffic or slippery roads; my spirits have truly been lifted. Let’s take a little trip to work, shall we?
Bundled up in the foyer.
There sits the fit.
Liberty Street. Walk forward two blocks.
A holly bush along the way.
Closer look. Sure does look festive.
Take left at first crosswalk. Ta-da! Sage.
I love it. I walk home on my lunch and get to enjoy a fresh meal. Roscoe has been thrown off of his schedule of napping but I’m pretty sure he likes this disturbment. I think this week while I have off from work (yes, two full weeks, paid!) I’m going to walk downtown and take some photographs of the beautiful lights. I love running at night when they’re all on and glowing up my way.
As mentioned before, I made my tree stand this year for my Charlie-Brown Christmas tree. It was my mom and dad’s idea to use a bucket. Since the tree really isn’t that big, we decided a metal can would be suffice. I used one very similar to this one, one that my mom uses to melt down wax.
not a 12oz can but maybe triple that? there wasn't a label.
I then took it into my old bedroom at my parent’s house aka the Christmas wrapping center and wrapped the can in my favorite wrapping paper. This year it was a gold, thick paper with gold sparkles. Perfect. To make the tree stand within the can I went out to our stone wall, and filled the can. We tested it out in the garage- perfect! I added water to the mix once it was standing firm- I had to move around the stones to ensure it wouldn’t tip when Roscoe nibbled off a bite.
I'm not doing anything, I promise mom.
I have a bunch of other misc. photographs to share from the previous month or so. My apologies for the late posting but enjoy!
Naomi & Gus on Thanksgiving in the cabin.
oh look. Joe opened his eyes for 2 seconds to take a photograph.
Gus sound asleep.
quick shot of the dining room.
And now for a baby shower gift that I put together. I crotcheted the baby hat and found the book at the Used Book Barn. Seventy-five cents. Bingo!
cute and cozy hat.love love love this book.
These were the directions for the kiddos inside their advent calendar box when they returned home from Aruba.
sure do love my kiddos.
And lastly, I leave you with a photograph of Roscoe. I bought him this bed on sale a couple of weeks ago. At first I didn’t think he would use it, now, he never gets up! He barely fits in it. But shhh! Don’t tell him that. It was his early Christmas present from me.
added bonus: now my sheets won't be so hairy.
