New Year Resolution

To post something here everyday. A picture, a quote, something that touched me that day, a song matching my mood that day, something. Call me on it if I slack ;)

My Jeep


I loved it. I miss it. A silly piece of metal. Lots of memories made and secrets kept. Concerts with girlfriends. Road trips again with girlfriends. Shopping. Trips to Illinois & Wisconsin to see my family. Her 4 wheel drive could get me anywhere I needed or wanted to go and I wasn't afraid to drive her. Snow or mud didn't make me think twice. I could get through it , and I did! I created parking spots where there wasn't supposed to be, but when cars end up following me and park with me its ok.  She always started. I could count on her to take us to happy places or get us the hell of out there! After 276,000 miles she ended her run the way I'd love to...
 She blew a rod. ;)

The front dimple above the tire there. I have no clue. LOL
backed into the garage door frame... Did it up good!
My signature sticker. I tried to get it off but I pretty much mutilated him
My sweet LizBeth. Couldn't get it off in one piece either =( 
backed into a truck...
too close to a tree...somehow grabbed that "lip" and bent it backwards!

Christmas

My favorite holiday. Hasn't been happy the last few years, but next year will be.
My kids made it a good day for me. I am blessed to have them.

His airsoft rifle with light scope and silencer. I rock!

My friend, Karen, went to Donny.com and ordered me things! How awesome it felt to open that and know someone  really cared enough to want to just make me giggle. I love her.

Ginger in her new Christmas sweater. She slept through the whole thing in Karoline's lap. haha 

and now I wait for snow... 




She got her I-phone! You think she was happy?

I LOVE this song and I LOVE this video! 
...as a graphic designer (cough-cough) 
I have watched it literally 100 times. 
It blows my mind and I now know the song word.. for.. word.. LOL!

me and the moon

It happens to me,
the voices and choices
are too much at times
and I need a quiet place...
just me and the moon...
a place where I can hear God whisper
reminding me to breathe
asking me to 'hold on'
and when I hear this
I know everything will be okay.

cabin fever

I have driven past this place a few times and always slow way down to look and dream. Yesterday I stopped and asked if I could take some pictures. (I'm not shy) I'm pretty sure this is my dream house. Small but big enough, hot tub, animals, country. Sharing it with someone I love would be the icing. Dare to dream...

pearl necklace

Saw this today in the new Avon catalog and it made me smile. I must have it.

memories

my memory board... 
I think I may need a new one soon. and that makes me happy.

a preview of what's to come...

This picture means so much to me. It's my closet. Mine. No-one's but mine. I have everything color coordinated and even subcatagorized by short sleeve, long sleeve, work, casual, dressy and ooh-la-la! Ya. It's a chick thing.

work

I still love! Who knew?! I thought I wanted an office desk job...I was wrong! Dont get me wrong, I love the days that I get to stay inside and get caught up on my paperwork, but I'd much rather be outside and driving the countryside. I hope this feeling continues to last a long- long time.
My desk- trying to get caught up


Christmas tree in mapping across the hall.... I want one =)

I have a stocking! and theres stuff inside already! Yay me!


Tree on my desk... with Donny on top!
