A Pretty Good Thursday...

It seems I am going, going, going, all the time! But tonight I had no where I had to go and I have loved it! Even being here alone has been good because I was able to do all the things I needed to get done that normally bug Jim. Like updating my playlists on my iPod and updating this blog. He thinks it is all stupid, and I somewhat agree, but I'm doing it anyway.

I got a lot of other odds and ends handled, too. I bought long overdue wedding gifts, bought ribbon to hang a picture from, and decided I am going to make a rag quilt. (If anyone is interested, I will show you how.) I need a worthwhile project to work on when I am home alone.

Today was a good day. I stuck to my diet, and I went to my yoga class. That's right, I have started yoga again. I am still working out on the weights and running on the treadmill for my body, but the yoga is for my head. (It weirds me out sometimes and I need a little respite from myself!)

I even quit work early today and just left. I love it that I can do that with the job I have. How lucky is that! But, I am missing my kids and am toying with the idea of driving to Idaho. (Dang! I keep hearing thumping noises and I hate that when I am alone!!!)

I better go. I am freaking myself out.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year!

2009 is going to be a great year! New Years Eve was spent playing cards, eating and laughing with the Lawlers. We actually went to bed early knowing we would have a full New Year's Day.

This morning we drove to Pasadena to watch the Rose Parade. It was the first time for both Jim and me and we really enjoyed it! It is amazing to see all the beautiful flowers on the floats, cars, motorcycles and everything else! Sooooo pretty! We spent the afternoon at Robbie's brother and sister-in-laws house and had a great time; really wonderful people, not to mention the good food and absolutely amazing house. Anyway, we hope everyone has a safe and happy new year and we will see everyone when we get home on Saturday.
