Good Morning Campers!!!
How are we all on this Friday morning?? I have just spent a good half hour cleaning out the deep freezer in the garage.. OMG we had some dinosaur meat in there I swear!! I am off to BJ's warehouse today to stock up. Cleaned out the cabinets and the fridge/freezer in the kitchen too. The New Year always finds me in the mood for cleaning and organizing.
Thanks for the wonderful comments about my family..yes I am truly blessed..and yes hubby is good looking...LOL.. you should have seen him when he was younger..I shall have to dig out a picture of him from back in the day...
No real plans this weekend..I am sure we will get together with the gang tonight..it appears I am back "in".. ha! please rest assured I let them know that my feelings were hurt that I wasn't included in their plans over the summer..come to find out that they haven't really been getting together so much.. I guess my hubby is the glue that holds us all together..so all is forgiven and we are enjoying spending time with each other again...these are true friends really and I can't be mad at them for too long...better to say what you're feeling and get it over with...seems we just all got too "busy" and kept saying "I must call so and so" well hubby is always Mr. social so as soon as he got back he was on the phone to everyone...hate it when he's right but he did tell me all you got to do is pick up the phone..smart arse... :-)
I am inspired by everyone's determination to lose weight.. I could stand to drop a few pounds myself..quite a few in fact... so rather than make any resolutions as such I have put together some of my thoughts and goals for 2007...
have a good weekend...
L
In 2007 I want to....(in no particular order)
Learn something new... maybe a knitting class or Yoga..
Find a church...
eat healthier..
drink more water..
Plan menus ahead of time for the week...
Work in the back yard (garden) more..keep control of the weeds..plant more flowers..
build a deck...
swim in the pool daily..
go to the beach or the lake at least once a week...
get back to the Library and stop buying books!!!
have more patience..and get control of my moods...
go to the dr's...
go to the dentist..
travel more...
open up to hubby more..stop bottling it all up only to erupt like a crazy woman...
keep it real in my online Journal...
Nurture my friendships...
call my family more often...
walk cadet daily...
organize my photos...
make a housekeeping schedule..changing the sheets on Saturdays..dust on Tuesday etc...my mum had certain days when she did certain things and it worked..e.g Mondays was ironing day.. I used to laugh at her and her routines but there is a lot to be said for them.. come to think when did Ryan last strip his bed... ewww!! see what I mean??
Be accountable for spending... I want to write down everything that I spend for a month... we are blessed enough not to have to count pennies anymore but I think I waste too much money...I could take my lunch to work for example...
meet some J landers...
celebrate my sister and Di's 40th birthday with them...if not over here then either NYC or over in UK...
I will add to this list as I go but that's a start....

OMG it is a schedule for ten years! I think the idea of the library is good, the only problem is that they never have recent books.

Gretchen, I love your list, have a good Friday, Hugs Lisa
Oh look at that list ,scary ,I hope you manage some of them even ...love Jan xx
Good Morning,
Very great goals for 2007. I have slowly started going back to the library and stopped buying so many books. Oh there is some I still buy of course, but the majority are from the library. Now with our library here, you can rent books online. Including videos, music, DVDs, audio books and so much more!
And I have organzied my photos AND backed up my computer...for FREE. Check out Xdrive (keyword: xdrive). For 5mb of storage its free and if you need more it's very reasonable. You can store and organzie photos, music, videos and back up every single thing on your computer! I'm glad I did it.
Huggers,

Lyn, I enjoyed this entry and your up-beat spirit today! I have found dinosaur meat in my freezer before....I'm shameless....I've found living organisms in my fridge too! If you're in the market for a good church I have a great one I can highly recommend! ;-) Have a wonderful weekend!

Well, 2007's gonna be a busy one for you, by the looks of it!! And there's at least a dozen of your 'to do's' that I should adopt as my own.....but I probably won't. I'm obviously not as disciplined as you are!!
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,

Planning menus a week in advance is something I've been trying to do for years with no luck. Good Luck with it!

Ive been thinking on the same lines as you.Decided that I would join WW too. . .and I have!I am disgusted how much I have put on over the past year.I feel much better already eating some great healthy food.Im having no chocolates till EASTER. . .which really is not that far away.
That is an impressive list! I am glad you said something to the gang. You are right, holding onto that hurt would have just hurt you more than them. You crack me up about the dinosaur meat! Sounds tasty! LOL

I like your resolutions, similar to the ones I always make. Have to do something about the weight as my staff have deciced to do a sponsored slim for the charity that I run. As for dinasour meet, we constantly have lots of that in our freezer, usually as a result of planning meals in advance and freezing stuff the day it is due to go out of date
I missed the entry yesterday... but went back.. loved the pictures! Great looking family....... thanks for sharing...
oh I am so glad it's the weekend you have no idea!
hugs

That's some list. If you manage to do half of those things it will be a great achievement. Good luck. B. x
wow thats a long list of to-dos!!Beckie.xx
That's a great list :)
It's always fun reading about other jlanders meeting one another.
It must be that time of year because I cleaned out our fridge too and now am doing the cabinets! lol
I'm glad that you talked with your friends and everything is worked out.
You have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Gretchen
The new year puts me in the mood for cleaning, but it doesn't last very long! lol i usually only get the urge around that special yet horrid time of the month. but well done to you, cleaning out the frige is one of the worst things to do because there's always that dish hidden way in the back that has fur growing on it and you're never quite sure exactly what it was.
Sounds like you've some really good plans for 2007 all very great things to accomplish if possible. And...maybe, hopefully i could help you out with your desires to meet some fellow jlanders. hopefully i'll be in Florida next month, in which cause i'd love to meet you. Of course, Adam will be there too because he doesn't want me going anywhere alone and he's my only mode of transportation...oh and yeah, i love him so i'd want you to meet the most important person in my life! lol!
It must be nice that your DH is such a social butterfly and its good that he got yall talking again. seems like he has a cult of his own!
