pictures

One of my biggest obstacles with this blog is feeling like I have to have pictures to tell my story. I visit other blogs nearly every day that have amazing pictures. So I try to take more pictures but then they stay in the camera until I download them! I've been contemplating a flikr or photobucket account so I can organize and access my pictures from anywhere which would be nice. I guess I can only work at it!

What's My Personality?

I love to find random quizzes - they can be so interesting...



You Are An INFP



The Idealist



You are a creative person with a great imagination. You enjoy living in your own inner world.

Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.

It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close to you.

But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.



In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.

You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.



At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.

You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.



How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual



When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak

Cookie Monday




On Monday, Vivian and I made cookies. OK, I made them and Vivian ate the cinnamon chips and raisins - someone has to sample these things. They ended up being yummy and were consumed very fast.

Resolutions??

Now, most people set their resolutions at the beginning of a New Year and here it is the end of January so what gives?! Actually, I despise the whole setting of resolutions at the beginning of a new year, why set myself up for failure right off the bat? And who can really think after the whirlwind of Christmas? But by the end of the month when I have had time to ponder what this year may bring and what I would like to accomplish then I can set some goals for myself. I like the term goals rather than resolutions anyway, it gives me something to strive for. So here it is, in no particular order-


My Goals For 2009


  • Work on my Blog

  • Spend Quality Time with my Children

  • Learn how to knit or crochet or both

  • Organize my Storage/ Crafting / Sale Stuff Area

  • Become a better menu planner, aka - plan ahead

  • Simplify
