So far, 2011 is looking pretty damn good!

It’s barely 10:00 on New Year’s Day, and (at the risk of jynxing myself) I’ve gotta say, it’s been a pretty damn good year so far.

I woke up at a spectacular 6:20 am, almost a full hour later than I’ve woken or been woken up for most of the month of December. As the light came into the day, I realized Manotick was blanketed in a heavy fog, so I slipped out with my camera and had an awesome and peaceful photo walk before most of the village was awake.

When I booted up the computer, I found out that Postcards from the Mothership placed third (yay!!) in the Canadian Weblog Awards’ Humour Category. Did I mention “yay”???

Then I started making one of my favourite new dishes, baked jalapeno beans with bacon, in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. Because, any day that starts with bacon and jalapenos in a pan just has to be a good day.

And now, I’m dashing this out quickly before the babysitter comes over, so Beloved and I can sneak out to catch Harry Potter in the theatres. Fog for breakfast, popcorn for lunch and jalapeno beans for dinner. Really, could a year start any better than that?

Happy new year to all of you, my sweet bloggy friends. May 2011 be filled with bliss. And laughter — cuz, I’m funny!! 😉

  1. I am jealous! I saw the fog this morning and would have loved to take pics, but my husband’s working so I’m here with the kiddies. It would have been too early to hustle them outside.

    Happy New Year!

  2. Congratulations Dani! What a way to kick off the new year! I love your photos…I would hang them on my walls they are so beautiful. Happy New Year! 🙂

  3. Congratulations on the Canadian Blog Award Dani! What a way to end on year and start another. Your photos taken this morning are wonderful! Happy New Year funny lady.
