Hazel’s Safe Harbour

It’s another new year for all of us. Let’s welcome the year of 2009 with all happiness and embrace it with warmth thoughts. I wish everyone a fruitful new year!

Yesterday, I got a Christmas call from Jacy. I’m still in deep slumber when the phone rang. My husband was the one who answered the phone. The husband woke me up and gave me the phone. I don’t have any idea who called me early in the morning of Christmas day. I was really surprised!

She’s such a sweet person. We talked for a little bit. I got out of bed and put my clothes on. We celebrated Christmas day with all the piled snow all around the state. We went to Devil’s Lake. Some people ejoyed ice fishing. It was very cold and my ears got frozen for a little bit. We went to Spirit Lake Casino and Resort to eat. We watched people playing in the slot machines. Food was great and we went home really stuffed.  Merry Christmas everyone!

How are you today? Are you feeling restless and cold about the weather? Well, it is 7 degrees and snowing this morning. We got about 7-10 inches for the past 3 days and I am feeling blue inside the house. I want to go out and enjoy the winter. But my husband won’t allow me because he said, I might get sick or will frost bite. That’s one thing he’s trying to avoid. Besides, I am new to the harsh weather here in North Dakota and I am not accustom to what will happen during the entire winter season.

But I still wish I will have the chance to play outside and just go crazy about the pile of snow around. Hopefully the weather will be great so we can travel and meet friends to celebrate a wonderful winter time. I am still looking forward on our ice fishing, snow tubing and making the big snowman. Let’s see what will happen next.

At least for now, I am back to give this blog a meaningful post. I don’t even know what to write for the mean time. You see, I just got back from the world of blogging. I got a new internet service provider which is way better that I have before. There’s more signal and faster than ever. Now, I can enjoy blogging, reading blogs and even surf the internet. I won’t be bored anymore. Thanks to my husband!

Today will be the shortest day of the year. It also mark the first day of the winter season. It is getting colder and colder up here and I think we need to go down south and enjoy a warmer weather. But, we’ll see what will happen next.

Well, it is Monday again! Another week had passed and more weeks will be coming as we end the year 2008. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas will soon be celebrated. The weather gets colder and colder up here. I am already in my winter clothes with socks on roaming around the office and house. My husband cook for lunch today and it’s delicious – Chicken with Mushroom soup. I need a rice!

I need to do the laundry today. It’s getting pretty easy at work now since Autumn began. There’s less work and things to do. All I need is to simply wait until the camping season will close for the winter time. It is time to get things back together with my husband. Go to Wal-Mart for grocery shopping, watch the latest movie in theaters, go the mall and shop for winter clothes, go and celebrate (again!) for the times we missed to celebrate special occasions such as Wedding Anniversary and my birthday (of course!) and simply enjoy everything together for the fall and winter time.

At last! We are finally done packing. It was so quick and everything went well. My husband been very supportive while I was packing. He wants everything to be pack as we will not have any problems when the time comes we are about to move. I was feeling so energetic and been active that I easily pack all the things we got. Our clothes, my toiletries, personal belongings, the albums, books, shoes and even our bed things. It was so hot when we load the boxes inside the car and truck. We were sweating really good that we need a good bath after loading. I have to wash the dishes and do the laundry too so that we don’t have to bring dirty clothes and dishes.  Everything is packed and set to go.

It has been a lazy and dull moment for us today. We really didn’t finish packing all our stuffs and put them in the box. Though I made an effort to try and packed some of them. My husband was feeling dizzy and got a headache all day. The medicine he took made him restless and completely weak and drain. I don’t even know what to do and put him in the bed to get his rest. I cooked good breakfast to make him feel better but he remain the same all day. There are times that I still peeked and sneaked in my personal computer to see what’s going on in the internet world. I didn’t have the chance to get some opportunities from the money-making websites I joined but I was happy enough when they approved my 2 previous posts.

I cooked my favorite Filipino dish – chicken adobo for lunch. As usual, it was all good and I garnished it with tomatoes and boiled eggs. It was very delicious! My husband said, it was his second favorite Filipino dish. Late in the afternoon, I played with my baby Wacko and I noticed he’s getting bigger and stronger. My husband joined me too. We sat together in our picnic table, waited and watched the sunset. How lovely! I always wanted to do the thing with my husband – simple yet very romantic being together.
