Hello 2013 & Goals this Year!!

WELCOME

I am looking so forward to a wonderful year!!

We already have a couple of trips planned.

I pray that my family and friends are all safe and have a great year also.

I do have a couple New Year Resolutions!!

Join Texas Equusearch plus
Find something else to volunteer in

Do something outside my comfort zone

Work on my book for the girls more

Have at least 6 giveaways!

Get a blogging schedule

Make lots of new blog friends-1000 by 2014

Take better care of my health

Get in shape before March

Find a new church

Unplug!!
Pick a couple of days a week to turn all computers, and televisions off, and no texting or phone except for phone calls. Spend more time with Don and get more things done because of it.

Stay as happy, if not happier in 2013 as I was in 2012. 2012 was a very good year. I want 2013 to at least match 2012. That will make me very happy.

Happy New Year to Everyone!!

Nice easy day!!

Yesterday was and easy day. I did nothing. Stayed in my
PJ's all day. But today was also a nice easy day. Sat around and blogged.

Then Don, Sammy and I went to a High Caliber Gun Show. I got a laser with a light and a strobe for

1. Favorite New Years eve you’ve had before:

Leaving the year 1999 and entering the year 2000

We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise.

It was the smallest cruise ship I had ever been on and I didn't think it would be much fun. It turned out to be as much if not more fun than the really big ships. And it had an amazing celebration bringing in

the year 2000.

2. Are you doing anything for NYE this year and if so what?

We are going to dinner with Meagan and Zac. Then to a comedy club, then to CityCenter to bring in 2013. Should be a fun evening.

3. Name a book we should all read come January?

The Devil in the White City.

I just now found out they are making this into a movie.

I am so excited. This was a great read. There's a lot of history in this book about a serial killer named H. H. Holmes. This is a true story back in the 1800's.

Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America

4. What are your new years resolutions?

I have several but I really hope to be a more loving, generous, forgiving and patient person. I also want to be and eat healthier, get more in shape, and to be as happy, if not happier than I was in 2012. The year 2012 was very good to me. I hope 2013 can hold its own with that.

Perfect Pan Seared Scallops Review!!

Perfect Pan Seared Scallops

These get 4 stars. Super quick dinner and Super easy. Very tasty. Be careful not to overcook these or they will taste

Went to Michaels to get one small brush. Thought I would have to stand in line forever for it too.

While there I found a steal!!!

Check this tree out!!

It was $250.00 marked down to $49.00.

OMG!! The ornaments alone are worth more than that.

A lady said they had six of them in different colors. Only the blue and silver tree and the red and gold tree were left.

While standing in line, a lady came over and said she had came back to get this tree. I didn't give it to her because Don wanted me to get a small tree to have in the house for the people staying in our house while we are gone and also so we would have a tree when we have Christmas with his daughters when we get back.

DONE!!

THE BEST PART!!

We are having Christmas in Texas next year and I already have my blue and silver ornaments I brought last year for next year. I knew I was doing blue and silver next year so this is so perfect..
