Resolutions and Reality

2011, A new year and new resolutions.
This year I resolve to be realistic. Yep, that's it. I may set a few goals along the way-but they will be realistic ones that I can reach.

Now I know that I SHOULD be resolving to lose weight, exercise more, be nicer, stop swearing, be better organized, finish the basement, finish all my crafts before starting new onesand the list goes on and on and on and on.
BUT, remember, I am being REALISTIC here. So.....
I will TRY not to gain weight, I won't swear at the treadmill, I'll TRY not to hate Jillian, I will buy a whole bunch more containers with the intention of putting things away nicely, try to finish most of the crafty things I start and only worry about getting the walls up in the basement. Thank goodness I have a whole year to TRY to work on these.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Christmas 2010

Another Christmas come and gone. It sure does go by quickly.
I had every intention of getting everything done early this year so that I would have more time to enjoy the magic of the season, but it just didn't happen that way. I blame my surgery back in November for setting me back so far behind! However, because I got lost in the hustle and bustle I made a decision that we will NOT be celebrating this way anymore. Nope, Christmas has become too commercial and meaningless. Next year we are starting a new tradition and taking a family vacation during Christmas break and forgetting all the shopping. Call me Bah Humbug if you will, but do your kids remember everything they got for Christmas? Do they remember your last family vacation? Yeah, mine remember every minute of Hawaii, Disneyland, etc...
Well, despite the hustle and bustle, we had a great Christmas. It was wonderful to spend time with our family and loved ones. Christmas morning went off without a hitch and we all got everything we wanted!
