Dec 31 - I DID IT!!

Woohoo!!  I did it!  I made it 366 days!!  I almost gave up several times, but so glad I didn't!!  Woohoo!!  Maybe I should start a weightloss blog so that I'd actually stick to the weightloss....Nah!

Last supper of 2012!  I worked until 6:15pm and it was a crazy busy day!!  Dwight called to see if I'd pick up pizza and chicken for supper!  Great idea!

It was great sharing this year with you.  Well, the 5 of you that followed my blog anyway.  Thanks for making me stick with it and checking it out and being patient with me when it took awhile to update.   But I am done!   I won't be doing this again for 2013, maybe the year after.  With my new camera I may upload some cool shots, if I get any.

Christmas with the Krashels.  My sister in law Brenda, with husband Craig, hosted this year.  Their dining room was gorgeous!!

It was a great day together with family!

I'm sure it's no surprise, but Carter loves candy canes.  I bought this pack a few weeks ago for on the tree, but I said he couldn't open it.  (because once it's open he won't stop)
I noticed a slit in the box and asked Carter what happened-
Mom: "So Carter, what happened here?"
Carter: "Daddy gave me a candy cane.  He said you wouln't notice, and I told him you would!"
Smart boy he is!

I really liked this wine.  It's a Riesling so a little on the sweet side.

This message makes me laugh.  I have a period app that helps me track my menstral cycle.  I am far from regular so this is often popping up.  I wonder how freaked out it would make someone NOT on birth control.  LOL

Nov 19

The boys carried in groceries for me.  They didn't make it to the table, but at least they got to the kichen.  They are awesome helpers!

Nov 18

I admit it, I'm a nail polish junkie.  I LOVE painted nails.  This is my newest member of the collection, Absinthe from Avon.

Christmas wine.  Not bad, not great.  Won't buy it again. I bought this one with my gift card I earned when I was tested for a responsible shop, and I passed.  :0)
