Twenty-Ten...For Real?

I'm just having the craziest time excepting the year. Wow! Have we already experienced a full decade in the 21st century? Didn't we just deal with Y2K and all the drama associated with it? Crazy! Anyway, I'm looking forward to good things this year. More hope, more love, more blessings from above.

First off, it's time to get off the holiday weight. I'm singing to the tune of 10 additional pounds over a two month period. Yikes! The work has already begun and I am paying the piper. Things well get better...remember, hope in twenty-ten.

The girls cleaned up this holiday season. Dolls, clothes, a remote-control car, an X-Box 360 Elite, tons of games and underwear. They have no complaints (and neither do I, for that matter). Indy's birthday is next Sunday and she'll rake in more goodies. Dang, to be a kid again! We'll have a family party on Friday for her, including dinner and cake. Mom is probably going to forgo the cake for a Smart Ones desert or something.

Hubby wanted to take me away for New Year's. He planned way ahead and had my mother slated to watch the girls. Who knew she and my sister would get sick and be unable to care for them. Blah! No getaway with hubby, but we still brought in the new year with peace. I couldn't have asked for more.

The week has begun and getting back into the swing of things is weird, but I'll be okay.

Sounds like you had lots of fun. Happy new year to you.
Too bad about the getaway. I've been hoping for one myself. Perhaps in a few weeks we can squeeze it in.
Good luck on your weight loss plans. I've been reading a new book and hope it will help me (Wear your life well by Marilu Henner).

Wow, it's been a while! Sounds like a great holiday season for you! Even though you weren't able to get away, at least you know hubby had something up his sleeve--sometimes the thought is just as important. Maybe you can do a quickie weekend getaway in a bit.

GC - Thanks bunches! You'll have to let me know if you discover anything new (secret tips) that might help us along the path.

Tasha - Too true. He wanted to take us to Mesquite (a little town bordering Arizona and Nevada and about 90 miles outside of Utah). It would have been casino heaven and warm temps. Oh, well. Maybe it's best I wasn't subjected to all the lights and noise of the casino. I may have lost my mind. :)
