Remember...

When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
My mom and I saw this in the bathroom at a funeral home earlier this week and it has been in my head all week. Rest peacefully Aunt Diana. We miss you.

Been a long week and I am glad for a day off tomorrow. I have a lot of cleaning to do and laundry and what not. But that is ok because I am going on a cruise in 2 weeks!
I am so looking forward to sunshine and relaxation and heat!

Saturday starts my online Microsoft office class! And next Thursday starts my other 2 classes!
I am pumped!

Friday night I am going to a bowling fundraiser. :) Should be fun and the money is for a good cause.

What the world needs now...

What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love,
It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now,
Is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.


So true...

Hello 2009!

Welcome to a New Year! And it is going to be a great one! (It is going to be what I make it and I am going to make it a great one!)
So far I have so much to look forward to this year!
Let me list a few things...
1. Cruise baby! 3 weeks!
2. Nickelback Concert in February-my fav band!
3. School! Yes! I can not wait to go back to school!
and if all goes as planned...
4. A new Job!

Thinking back on all the past years-they have all been great ones too. There have been some ups downs but for the most part they have been great. I have had a lot to be thankful for such as my amazing family, my cats, my steady, dependable job, my health, an amazing boyfriend! The list goes on...

I do have a few New Year Resolutions that I will try my best to stick by...although I can not guarantee it every day...(and I noticed that a lot of them are similar to my Mom's:) Like mother like daughter!)

1. Be more positive. ( I am very optimistic for the most part but lately I tend to find myself being bogged down by negative thoughts revolving around my job.) I do not like being negative.

2.Exercise more. Brad brought over the treadmill that was sitting in his garage and I am going to try and work out more-I do good when the weather is nice and now I have no excuse for when the weather is bad. I feel so much better when I exercise and I love the healthy glow that it gives my skin!

3. Save money. I am pretty good with my money however, I know that I could do a lot better. I tend to like to spend money just because I have it. I love using coupons and I think I do pretty well when I am grocery shopping. My weakness is if I am bored then I head to Kohl's and Target and I can never leave without spending $100.

4. Be more organized. I have closets and cupboards that have things falling out of them when you open the door. I vow to organize them every week and I do not...it is time to get on that...sometime this year...

5. Clean more...the little details, dusting and what not. The overall appearance is great but if you took a closer look...ew...

6. Recycle!
