My 201st Post...

Yesterday was my 200th post! I didn't think I was that gabby in 2008! Apparently, I had lots of nonsense to say. Most of which was about the little man that stole my heart, Jack, my grandson, other posts were about travelling, a few scattered recipes, some political stuff, and lots of mumbo jumbo who ha. (who ha is my favorite phrase I use a lot)

It is clear to me that I write about whatever I feel like writing about, but tend to exclude the personal issues of my life. Occasionally, my family will appear from time to time but after all, I live with these people so they are bound to make the blog.
So what's in store for the new year? Prosperity...good health...security...smaller jeans...the ability to walk up 3 flights of stairs without getting winded...no eating after 8:00 PM...
Notice how I didn't make any New Year's Resolutions but rather affirmations.

Good for you! I also shun resolutions at the New Year. Most end up broken within a few days. Creating affirmations is a much more effective method of making a plan or goal. I'm cheering for you, girl!

P.S. Congrats on reaching your 201st blog post! I love that you have a lot to say. It is a wonderful way to keep in touch with friends and family. Life has a tendency to take us in diverse directions. I would have dearly missed you had our friendship drifted away. I have always valued your friendship from the very first day we met in a class at Scrap Happy many years ago. I wish you all the best in the coming New Year, Deb.

I'm not doing resolutions although I'm thinking of joining a South Beach Diet Challenge over at Big Hair Envy's blog.
Congratulations on your 200th post!

My 2008 resolutions are undone and are now my 2009 resolutions. Maybe I should call them affirmations instead of resolutions. My top two are to take better care of myself and clean out my house. I need to throw away at least 30% of everything in it. Of couse scrap book items are off limits. We will be remodeling the inside or moving so I have to elminate junk.

Good for you, Deb. It feels great to be able to walk up 3 flights of stairs without being too winded. I mean, I think I can remember that feeling . . .

Affirmations are so much better than resolutions, I think.

No resolutions for me either. And may all your affirmations materialize for you and your lovies, my friend.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

It is April of  2019. The year that marks my 65th trip around the sun.  Somehow, I always knew that I would make this landmark. There was never a doubt in my mind. The first 65 years have been trouble free. Moderate medical issues. One simple surgery in 2017.  This year will also mark 47 years of marriage to one man. Give me a standing O now, please! It’s incredible to recognize that I’ve know this man for almost 50 years. I don’t regret one single day. Not one.  Sure, there have been times that were filled with questions and struggles. But there have been so many more days that we’re fun filled, raising our two perfect children, living the life of suburbia, two working parents doing their best. Usually, I like to make a big deal about my birthdays. Especially after the surprise party when I was seven years old.  See, my parents were getting divorced at the time of my 7th birthday, Enter my Uncle Frank and Aunt Evelyn to the rescue.  Major distraction to get me out of

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would
