Thank you for informing me that what I saw this morning was a Pileated Woodpecker!
How cool!
My gut instinct was that he was a woodpecker, but then I thought…no it can’t be, so I really didn’t think it was.
I will be on high alert for him all week. :) I got within 10 feet of him today and he wasn’t even that scared of me. I was more scared of him I think!

Thank you for all of your comments on today’s post. Wow I am truly blessed to have you guys in my life! It is a private matter so I can’t discuss it on the blog, but please know that everything is fine.
Last night I was looking at our honeymoon pictures. And Eric said, ‘Uh oh what’s wrong?’ He knows whenever I am feeling down in the dumps I look at my honeymoon pictures to perk up my mood. I love day dreaming about traveling. :) I love looking at old pictures in general really.

Today went well. I made about 200 Glo Bars, packaged, shipped, etc. Orders are flying in left, right, and center. It is going to be a very busy push to Christmas!
Jammed to Christmas music while I worked…
That is my current mix playing in the kitchen as I bake.
I prefer a mix of contemporary artists along with the classic old school stuff.
What kind of Christmas music do you prefer? Do you have any favourite CD’s or artists?

Someone asked me where the heck Sketchie has been lately. Well, I will show you…
Sleeping on Eric’s sweater. He currently lives in front of the space heater. When I turn it on, it makes a little buzz and he comes walking over like a zombie. It puts him in a trance.

On that note, I’m going to shut down.
Sorry for the lame post tonight, but I really just feel that I need to disconnect from the virtual world for a while. It can be a bit much at times.
UPDATE: Eric just tickled the crap out of me for 10 minutes. I had tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard. This is what life is all about, folks!
Have a fun night whatever you are up to!
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.
i’ve made a holiday playlist on pandora with a mix of: Mariah Carey, Johnny Matthis and Trans-Siberian orchestra and i’m loving it!!
nothing like a good tickle session to cheer up :) have a relaxing night, you deserve it!!
Whenever I feel lost, or want to revert to old unhealthy habits I always look to your blog.
You are just such an amazing person eventhough I don’t personally know you. You always have a way of wording things for the best. I am sorry that you weren’t feeling quite yourself the other day but it is good to hear you made 200 bars. WOW impressive.
Keep up the great work
– you cannot even begin to imagine how positive this blog has been for my life. The other day i asked how much you eat and today I realize that was so irrelevant to your message. I am learning slowly but trying to apply. Thank you.
You are beautiful and stunning and I hope to be as toned someday!
P.S. The Bird is just gorgeous. I guess maybe winter is coming??
So great you have Eric to make you feel better. I hope that tomorrow is a better day for you!
Ha ha, I hope you know what I thought of when I read “pecker”. Love it.
What kind of a cat is Sketchie? He looks like a leopard!!!
Seriously, I am going to drive up to Canada and steal Sketchie :P
I’m surprised you don’t have any Trans Siberian Orchestra! They are Christmas tunes for the rocker. I absolutely LOVE TSO.
What kind of Christmas music do I prefer? ANY KIND! I love it all from silly kids classics to rat pack standards. OOohhhhh I start listening to carols in about…September, so I really do love it all!
Aww, I love Christmas music!
I usually start mine around October and keep it around until it starts getting warm out again :)
There is something very, very wrong with me…I cannot associate the word “pecker” with anything but male genitalia. I’m awful!
Angela, I’m so sorry you had one of those days! BUT I am in love with your Christmas music list. It’s perfect. Nothing like baking+holiday music to lift your spirits!
I have no class. My favorite Christmas CD is Dr. Demento’s Christmas. But it’s awesome.
I ADORE the Medieval Baebes Christmas CD. “Salva Nos” is just Christmas to me.
damn woman.
you are kicking life’s ass and taking NAMES with all youre doing….
I’m glad you are feeling better. Those days are bound to happen and it’s such a good feeling to know you have someone who will let your cry your heart out to.
I try to stay away from the comp every night so I can tickle with my husband too! Or just tell each other silly jokes!
I was wondering about Sketchie! He’s so cute! I put pics of my mischievous cat on my blog today, but they are not as good as yours!
I am excited about breaking out the Christmas music but I always try to wait until after Thanksgiving… or.. the night of Thanksgiving :)
Sketchie is so cute!
Isn’t it such a wonderful feeling that your husband knows you so well and is willing to help you cheer up and smile? My husband would have done the same thing.. tickle!
Not a lame post at all! Pretty amazing that your bakery has taken off and equally amazing that you can keep up with it all. I eat your bars on special occasions and have hid them from myself to make sure I don’t gobble them all down. (this hiding trick usually never works.)
I’m glad everything is fine. Husbands are pretty good at cheering up, eh? Joey does that for me too…I also go to my favorite “comfort” tv shows..right now, it’s NCIS or Due South, and the Golden Girls always bring me out of a funk:)
I prefer the Christmas classics or instrumental Christmas music with an Irish feel…although I’ve been listening to a lot of TransSiberian Orchestra this year…something about “hair metal” Christmas music.
Shelli does the same thing when we turn on the gas logs. She wanders over and sits in front of them. Last year, we brought her bed out of her room and put it in front of the fire so she’d be comfortable. I don’t think she moved all winter;).
Our heating bills go up in the winter as our cats sleep ON our heating vents.
That woodpecker is AWESOME! Even more awesome that you caught a picture. Very cool.
Whatever is going on, I wish you all the courage to get through it!
I started listening to Christmas music inspired by you. I have been done in the dumps lately and needed some good feeling type of music on. It helped. :)
Love your Christmas song list! I also love Amy Grant’s Christmas Albums, they really remind me of Christmas as a kid, hers and Mannheim Steamroller.
