New Year's Resolutions

So how many of you are actually doing New Year's Resolutions??

I have been pondering these over the last couple of days.  We all know that weight loss/gym time is always on our list.  So I started to do that early.  I began that yesterday to get a jump on it before New Years.  We all know that the gyms get packed right after January 1st.

Well what else would be on my list?  The biggest thing is getting organized.  I sell Pampered Chef and Scentsy and I have stuff all over the house.  In fact, everything in my life needs to be organized.  Every room in my house has something that needs to be cleaned out, labeled, etc.  I think this a pretty reasonable resolution and would've been a great thing to start while I was off work this week!  Ha!  Nope!  Slept in til at least 10 every morning.  A mom needs a break when she can get it!

Another wish on my list is to get all our household projects done and finished.  We have this small alcove in our room between our in room office and bed, want to put shelves up to make a bookcase there.  Need to install tile flooring and finish trim work along all the base boards.  Doesn't seem to hard to finish, but my baseboards have been this way for the past 4 years.  Men always start projects, can they just finish them?  LOL

Please feel free to post your New Year's resolutions.  I love reading about them.

New Christmas Adventure

So my daughter has been off of school for 2 weeks so far.  I was trying to come up with some new ideas to keep us out of the house and not spend a lot of money.  What was it you ask?  Rollerskating!!!

When we walked into Skate Country, I was immediately thrown back to my skating days as a kid.  Heck!  It was the same kind of music.  As we sat at the snack bar after a round on the rink, my 4 year old daughter was amazed at the kids doing the Hokie Pokie out on the middle of the floor.  I was mesmerized watching her reaction.

After many falls, my daughter decided to pack it up for the day.  It was her first ever trip to the skating rink and it was a success. Heck I was amazed I still had some skating skills.  The best part was that I found out I burned around 700 calories for the time we were there.  Not a bad afternoon!!  :)
