I Made It!

Ok, maybe not perfect, but I'm happy with the bracelet and necklace I made!

Very Random

These are some very random pictures I downloaded from my phone...


Itty bitty pineapples, taken at Coral Castle.

My son took this picture with his phone and shopped it.  I love how she has her foot raised up behind her head.

I took this on my way to Lake Placid last weekend.  This section of US27 is nothing but sugarcane fields, and some were being burned.  Smells bad, but not nearly as bad as the refinery smells when they're burning cane. It's like baby vomit...and I'm not kidding.

As I sit here in 70 degrees, windows wide open and just enjoying the fact that I can have the AC turned off for a change, this is my home in Pennsylvania.  My husband took it a few weeks ago and though the snow there has come and gone a few times, they have a bit more than is in this picture now.  He says lots of people are sledding and having fun with it.  Wish Aidan and I were there.  We miss sledding!

Caching in Highlands Hammock State Park

Last weekend, I got to do a little caching with a good friend in Highlands Hammock State Park.  My favorite state park...I've been going here since, oh...about 1971?  I never get tired of it, especially the boardwalk through the cypress swamp.

I took this picture with my phone, then doctored it up a bit.  I like it!

New Years Stuff

Today will be no day of rest for me.  I still have Christmas stuff to box up and put back in the attic, floors to sweep and mop, laundry to do and the STEELERS-Broncos game this afternoon.

Tomorrow is an important day.  I am doing something that I've never done before - getting a mammogram.  I know, I know...it's horrible that I haven't had one yet.  No excuses other than I just keep forgetting to schedule one.  I am looking forward to tomorrow...I've heard they can hurt a bit (and no wonder having your boobs squished down like pancakes!), but it is worth it.  I have a clean bill of  health for everything else (yes, even my MS has remained inactive since I was diagnosed in '06), so what better way to start the new year?

Speaking of New Year, I have made a couple resolutions.  I am going to truly try keeping them, too, unlike the decades of previous years' unkept goals.

1.  Loose at LEAST 20 lbs.  This is so do able it makes me laugh.  I just have to get back into my walking routine.
2.  Buy one Christmas present a month, put a note on it as to who it's for, and store it away in a box in my closet.  NO MORE broke Christmas's.  NO MORE last minute shit.
3.  Read more!
4.  Do one crafty project a month (possible Christmas presents??  2 birds with one stone??)
5.  Get myself and Aidan moved up to Pennsylvania and start that new chapter in my life!!!!

So has anybody ever actually kept ALL of their resolutions?  Let me know if you  have!
