Valentine's Day 2010

our life in january

completely digital!

the pink purse

This is my christmas present from Bobby - the fuschia Coach peyton purse. A color i never thought I'd walk around with. But it has grown on me. What I like about it most is all the pockets! AND for once, its not a big purse like my others which i can carry my laptop. ;) I think pink will suit me.

As for resolutions I've settled on:

1. Continue to exercise to stay healthy while maintaining my current weight.

2. No buying clothes for myself. ONLY necessities - like the socks, undergarments, etc.

3. Use my pink christmas present for at least 4 months!! This makes it achievable.

4. Create something once a month.

5. Fast food ONLY once a month.

Happy New Year! 2010 is the year of the tiger!

From our family to yours, have an awesome NEW YEAR! No, that isn't Troy. Troy is in Hawaii with his dad celebrating the holidays. This is Cody -Ashton's and Troy's good friend and like another son who celebrated the year with us. Still thinking about my new year's resolution...

thinking about resolutions.

1. Exercise. Yes, done. Been working out at work. And tonight i'm working on my cardio at my hip hop class. Yes, you read that right. So quit laughing.
2. Create something once a month. That is definitely done! Anaheim scrapbook, thank you.
3. No fast food. Phew, thats the hardest one. Because that means I'm having to cook or put together more meals at home. So far so good.

.. this has been 2009 resolutions... I've accomplished 2 of 3. No fast food is hard when you get busy. Its so darn convenient. I am glad that i stuck through the exercise and creating. Made cards in November and made canvas photo things for gifts. Saved by that one.

Now that a decade is over, still pondering on 2010. What are yours?

HOLIDAYS ALREADY?!

Normally I would be on top of things. But lately, it feels like I don't have time for everything, and I sigh and say, "can't the day be longer?" And now, . . . in a blink of an eye, the holidays are around the corner. What happened in the last 2 months? What is different this year? And when i look back . . .

• Bobby and Ashton playing softball/baseball this year.
• Jadeline is a first grader. hmm. more homework?
• Troy is now at Glencoe High school.
• I have 2 boys in high school, with a lot more homework.
• I find myself in Hawaii for 9 days for a women's workout retreat.
• Work is busier with sick patients.
• Ashton is now playing basketball.
• Finding time to scrapbook and store memories.

So maybe i didn't realize that 3 kids are a house full and i honestly love it. I grew up with 3 sisters, this is suppose to be normal. We played together, we did homework, and watched shows togther. My parents did it. So I can too, right?

Maybe i just need to find a different routine, .. and change with the economy. We'll see how this goes through the holidays.
