Where did the month go? It's the 30th already?!

Well, with shopping, preparations, decorating, then getting through the actual holidays, the month just flew by. It sure seemed to come up on us fast then zip right on by. No worries though because I'm ready for 2010. My friend Nancy told me today that she was really looking forward to 2010 being much better than 2009. Let's hope so. I had quite alot of mixed experiences this year both good and bad. I did go on three trips; one to the UK, one to Hawaii, and the last one to Alaska on a cruise. In the middle of all that, I got laid off at the end of May. I have now had about 7 months to hang out with my husband, son, and pets. All are going to be very unhappy when I go back to work. Especially my dog Nikki. She has become quite attached to the idea of being right next to me all day.




I'm hoping that next year brings several things. One is a job, two is a bit of weight loss (more like alot), three is celebrating my 50th birthday with family and friends. Yes, 50 is rapidly approaching (in May) and I am so looking forward to that milestone. I would love to have the people that mean the most to me help me celebrate it. My daughter has been put in charge of all or most of the arrangements but I will be glad to supply a list of people that I would love to have with me.

At any rate, the year is winding down with one more day to go. After the New Year's weekend and Sean is back in school, I hope to get a bit more serious about my workouts and food plan. No more holiday goodies. And whose idea was it to make that homemade caramel anyway?!
Happy New Year!
