I feel a little random


need to spend a good day with no interruptions learning all about our new camera.

then need to spend another good day (and then some) learning how to use Photoshop Elements.

made myself a chore list & am grounded until it's complete.

am working on cleaning out my card making/stamp cupboard first off because I can't find my paper cutter.

survived my 1st Sharing Time. whhhew.

am gearing up for tax season. (Shane is too)

got a jump start buying some summer clothes for the kids this past week...wishful thinking for some warm weather I guess.

have discovered sugar-free Werthers candy to satisfy my sweet tooth.

should call & make our dentist appointments. can't get excited about it for some reason. weird.

tried to coupon & didn't exactly catch on to the whole idea. or maybe i am just lazy.

feel like I am in a cooking slump. nothing sounds good.

do however, enjoy Thai take-out when Shane is out of town.

know that Shane is happy to have another sim evaluation behind him. good for another 6 months.

really wish that I could find tickets to the Jazz/Lakers game for Shane & I for less than $150 a ticket. we may end up watching this one from home.

committed 2 big no-nos. Costco & WalMart on a Saturday afternoon. what was I thinking?

did redeem myself by hitting Krispy Kreme on the way home with the kids.

sure enjoyed the leftover donuts for breakfast this morning.

Story of my life.



yes...I Blurbed again & yes I am a year behind.

that is ok.

not a scrapbooker.

this works for me.

type "A" personality Amanda is learning to let things go.

feels good.

"So what's your New Years resolution?"

Laughed out loud when I saw this:
(guess that makes me a nerd)


Have several resolutions I am mulling around. We'll see which ones will stick. :)
Very thankful for many lessons learned in 2009. I think I am a better person in several aspects of my life...but man do I have a lot of work to do in other regards. Have a whole lot to be grateful for. Healthy & happy kids. Shane's steady employment & a job he loves for the most part. Good examples all around me that push me to want to be a better person. My health & independence. Learning to be content. A fun new calling in the Primary.
I sure do love the beginning of a new year! (even if it means I am a year older and I seem to find a few more gray hairs)
Fresh start.
Treadmill here I come.


Bring on 2010!
