New Years Day.....






Happy New Year everyone.......as you can see, I scrapped all day with my friend Sue...see the mess we made....had a great time, finished up a couple of projects....and guess what, the mess is still out there, on the table, lol...2 days later....because Im busy!!!! PURGING!!!! yes folks, the purging has begun, spend the day out in the garage yesterday, the car is loaded with thrift store crap, Debbie Spivey where are you, you always want all the crap I get rid of...wish you were here to take it all!!!!!
While Sue and I scrapped the boys all played poker upstairs......lots of fun. lots of food, it was a good New Years day....topped off by the biggest loser.....

Tracey was here for almost a week, enjoyed our time so much, and so did Pokey, wooo hooo, got me some long hair to play with!!!!!

My word for the year, "Change"......lots of changes in store for me this year....I plan to purge my house and my life of everything that isnt loved and needed, all those things that are a anchor around my neck, all the "stuff" we collect over the years and think we need.....going!!!! The other thing that is going to change is Iam going to try to put my health first, before work, housework, all those things that can wait...wait for me to take time to take my vitamins, and exercise, and sit down with a cup of tea. All too often my prioritys are not right....more often that not.....this year I want to focus on getting heathly, losing the rest fo this weight, and getting limber. I swear sometimes I feel 80 years old when I get up in the morning, those first few steps.......I will drink more water, eat more vegies, walk more, and try to get a more positive attitude. I have let things at work wear on me, people, certain people, have worn me down.....NO MORE, I refuse to let them make me bitter betty, I will have fun at work, or I will not work! There, I said it......no I just have to DO it, lol......get rid of all that weighs me down, including the 30 pounds I want to lose this year.....I vow by flylady I will fling my way into 2008, watch out, everything that isnt nailed down goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
