Good winter soup....Yum....and cookies

Today I decided to simmer the hambone that I had in my freezer since Xmas and make some good soup. After I got all the meat off and got a good broth going, I threw in some potatoes, carrots, celery, red bell pepper, onion, Northern beans and noodles. I made a huge pot so we'll be having soup for awhile. It was delicious...Yummmmmmmmm! I also baked Xmas cookies! Well, they were some refrigerated Xmas cookies I had bought for Xmas but never got around to baking since I had so many other goodies. So I baked them today and put the frosting on them. Cookies are cookies any time of the year.

I went to the library today to get some tax forms since the IRS never sends us a book anymore. I always do my taxes on the tax program at work, but I like to do it myself first on paper. Sometimes, it takes awhile before I can get the time to do it at work. And I'm anxious to know what our refund is going to be...

While I was there I decided to rent out a couple of CD's. Mainly, I wanted to hear Susan Boyle's CD and decide if it's worth buying. It's just amazing what a great voice she has. Some of her songs bring tears to my eyes. She does a whole different type of "DayDream Believer" (Monkees) that is really good....she sings it as a ballad. I definitely want to buy the CD now that I've heard it.

I also rented out a Brian Setzer Christmas CD! Boy, I'm really in the Xmas mood today for some reason....must be the snow or something. I also got hubby to help me get all the Xmas decorations back up into the attic. I was getting tired of seeing them in my spare room. Maybe that's why I'm still thinking Xmas....Well, I put Rudolph and Santa up in the attic where they belong for another 9 months. OMG, In only 9 more months, Christmas will be here...!!! I better start shopping. Believe it or not, I actually have....I already got about 6 presents for people for next year.

Tomorrow we got the cable guy coming out to the house. Our computer room use to be our son's bedroom and he use to have cable TV. When we painted the room a while back, hubby decided to cut the wiring and stick it inside the wall and paint over it. So now I decided I want a TV in my computer room. I bought a nice 15" digital flat panel TV and went to hook it up and lo and behold, there was no wire where a wire should have been. I was completely baffled. Where did the wire go?? Hubby explained what he did..... He broke a hole in the wall to get the wire out but it still can't be used cause he had cut the end off (why?..I have no idea). So now I have a hole in my wall, a wire sticking out with no end to connect to my TV. That's why the cable guy is coming out tomorrow.
