Resolutions

New Year, new goals. I have decided that resolutions are not my thing. After all, is it easier to break resolutions or goals? I'm all for setting goals-not the big, I can never meet type that usually accompany new year's resolutions. Goals for me are small.

For example, get out of bed and go to work. That's one I can usually check off as accomplished. Here are some others I have been pretty successful with:

Clean the bathroom at least once every six months.
Clean the house complete with vacuuming at least one of the other six months.
Play on the computer every day--maybe complete some school work in the process.
Contemplate purchasing yet another unused year of rec center membership.
Watch Biggest Loser and think, "I should be on that show" but be too tired to apply.
Wish I could get my kid to help out at home like he does when he is at my sister's house.

Well, you get the idea. So far, I've been very successful with these goals. I think this year I will add dusting at least one time throughout the year. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can......

Christmas Cheer Part Two

Did you ever wonder how you can afford Christmas? Try this: Buy all the teenage boys duct tape. They LOVE it! They can make anything out of duct tape. I have a bracelet made from hot pink and black. My nephew makes an awesome flower out of duct tape.



Really, if you think about it $10 gets three rolls. Think of all the hours of fun.


You may not know this, but hot pink and black are the coolest colors! In fact, I bought my own duct tape to make a bracelet - and I'm a girl! One way to bring more Christmas cheer is to try to steal your niece's new hot pink camera. After all--she can have your old one. Look at the cool color!





Of course, I could probably save up and buy my own. But then, what fun would that be for her if I don't try to take it when we hug?

Babies always bring Christmas Cheer. We have two new ones and one more on the way. I just love them! Sometimes I want another of my own. Then, I look at all the duct tape I have to buy for my son and decide it just wouldn't work out so well.







Families-that's what the Christmas cheer is all about isn't it?
