Out with old, in with the new...

Well, this past weekend my treadmill went out. We bought the old treadmill out of the paper for 25 $$ Dirt cheap and I was so excited about it. The last couple of monthes the treadmill just didn't work as it should so we went out and bought a new one, i am so excited to use the new one it works GREAT. Let just say I will use it everyday.. That's all I'm going to say is bring on the new year!

New Years Resolution...

What are good New Year's Resolutions for 2010?

According to Newsvine and many other websites the top ten new years resolutions are:

1. Loose weight: Everybody wants to loose that extra pound and think oh the new year will be a great time to do that, WRONG, that doesn't work. Many people sign up for fitness centers in January for the whole year and only go for the first month and waste a lot of money. I don't think that that will work for me. For I have my own exercise equipment at home. And I use it everyday.. I don't need to pay outrageous amounts of money, so people can watch me while I work out.


2. Stick to a budget: This one is good, and I think I might just have to use it because I want to live in my new home in 2010, There are many times when you think I really need/want this item. I have to start self thinking. When I have those thoughts, I have to start thinking to myself is it a WANT or is it a NEED. Can I or can I not live without this item. Most of the time you can live without the item. I guess I am going to start, waiting a week before I buy anything, because after a week if you still need the item then it was meant to be. But most of the time you will just forget about the item that you were looking at. I am going to say Good bye to impulse buying..


3. Debt reduction: Dale and I have a few debts but they are mainly our mortgages, so I will just try not to get ourselves into a lot of extra added debt that we don't need. Watch what we spend and not get things that are not really a need. Watching for sales and not buying things for full price. I only want to move into the new log home.


4. Enjoy quality time with family and friends: I like this one a lot, but what do you do when you don't get along with your biological family? Maybe I can adopt a family. Probably should work on getting a better relationship with Dales family. Or does this mean start a family?? I am not sure...


5. Find my soul mate: Found him, would be lost without him. This is definitely not going to be one of my news year resolutions.


6. Quit Smoking: I don't smoke, it has been 10 years since my last cigarette, I quit cold turkey. This definitely ain't going to be my news year resolution either. But, I will encourage my friends to quit smoking for it will help there pocket book and also there health and their families health as well.


7. Find a better job: I really do have a good job, maybe the hours could get better. But, I don't want a so called job, I want to be financially free and start something new. But, for now my job will do. I will keep looking for that something new.


8. Learn something new: This is a great one for me. What will I start, where will I start, I guess, I will have to research it. I have many ideas that I am going to try in 2010, wish me luck.


9. Volunteer: I have always wanted to volunteer at the special Olympics and also at the Humane Society. This year might just be the year.


10. Get organized: I guess everyone could work on this one. I could use a little organization in my ebay store. My house, however; is always clean.


So these are the top 10 New Years Resolution world wide, what are yours...
I would guess my biggest News Year Resolution would be to be in the new home living and moving on with our next chapter in our life, and I believe Dale would agree to that.

A nice surprise

I love getting mail. Yesterday, I got a letter from my pen friend in Germany. We have been writing to each other for many years. We started writing to each other when I was in 8th grade Spanish class. I know you are probably thinking Spanish and I have a German friend, how does this work. Well, we got to choose anywhere in the world where we wanted a friend from and I choose Germany. So I got a female friend by the name of Janine, but the same day I actually washed her address when I washed my school clothes. I was so upset that I had to be so stupid, to wash my pen friends address. But, in a month I got a letter from Germany and it was from a girl by the name of Janine. I was super excited, I riped the envelope open so carefully so I did not ripe the her address and we have been writing ever since.
So, I am 31 and we have been writing since I was in the 8th grade, so it has been, well, a long time, and I will allow you do to do the math. It is amazing that we are still writing to each other. Many would have stopped writing within the first 5 years because everyone has such busy lives, but for me and Janine, we keep in touch pretty regularly. I am always super excited to get a letter from her..
She got married in August, and she made a beautiful bride. Don't you think???
I enjoy writing to my pen friend and hope we keep writing to each other for many years to come.

The True Meaning Of Christmas

The True Meaning Of Christmas
by Brian K. Walters

In todays' day and time,
it's easy to lose sight,
of the true meaning of Christmas
and one special night.

When we go shopping,
We say "How much will it cost?"
Then the true meaning of Christmas,
Somehow becomes lost.

Amidst the tinsel, glitter
And ribbons of gold,
We forget about the child,
born on a night so cold.

The children look for Santa
In his big, red sleigh
Never thinking of the child
Whose bed was made of hay.

In reality,
When we look into the night sky,
We don't see a sleigh
But a star, burning bright and high.

A faithful reminder,
Of that night so long ago,
And of the child we call Jesus,
Whose love, the world would know.

Cookie and fun

Yesterday, I felt like Betty Crocker. I made 17 dozen cookies and made dale 3 dozen more pieces of his favorite candy for Christmas. Today, I don't feel like baking at all. I made peanut butter cookies, peanut butter and kiss cookies, chocolate chips, Christmas cut outs 2 different kinds. It was fun, but today I don't feel like doing any cooking at all. So I will make Dale lunch and be done for the day. Happy Holidays everyone...
