2013 Resolution Jump Start... Knock #1 off the list!

I'll be ringing out 2012 with a special dinner at my daughter's new home. Her hubby is making a delish lobster tail and filet dinner to thank me for all the help I have been over the last two weeks while they moved in and prepared for the Christmas holiday.

I'll be home before the ball drops, so no DUI checkpoints for me.

I am happy to report that I have already done one of my 2013 resolutions... go paperless and do online bill paying.

Now, to tackle losing some of my unwanted weight by going on a 'live' it (not diet... have to change my behavior and start buying fresh food to cook).  My motivation?  My other daughter's wedding on April 19.  I am thinking this one may take a bit more effort but I need (and want) to do it.

I'll be super busy the first four months of 2013...

• January will see me in Orlando at my company sales meeting.
• February will see me hosting my daughter's wedding shower and hubby's 60th birthday celebration.
• March will see me welcoming my newest grandson into my arms to smother with love & planning some type of 'bachlorette' party for my daughter.
• April will see me celebrating my daughter's wedding with family and closest of friends.
• May, God willing, will see me celebrate another birthday but by this time, all the hub-bub will be over and I can sit back and relax!
• September... going to try to plan a visit to our 50th state, Hawaii as a bday present to hubby and visit my niece who's just left for a year assignment for work.

Happy New Year to throngs of people who await the pearls of wisdom to drop from my fingertips!  Okay, well maybe not throngs but to the one or two of you who do!  Health and happiness are wished for you in 2013.

A Break

Looking forward to a much needed break.

After today, I will not report to the office until next year.

I will spend time doing what I love most...

spending time with family and friends

celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ,

my Lord and Saviour.

I am excited as I anticipate His arrival

and celebrating Christmas morning with

Dylly in his new house as he awakens to

see what Santa Claus has left him for

being such a good boy!

If I don't post anything else before the holiday,

Merry Christmas to All

Wishing you Peace, Joy 

and Blessings of the Season.

With Heartfelt Wishes

Exciting Day Today...

My daughter, her hubby and my Scrump-dylly-icous

purchase their new home today.

Plans are to move in slowly over the next week with

the official moving day to be next Friday.

They'll be in the house just in time to celebrate the 

first of many Merry Christmases....

Hope Santa doesn't leave all Dylan's gifts in their

old house!

Today, this house will be made a home!

Wishing them years of health and happiness as they

raise their family in this beautiful house.

The One Thing You Can Always Count On...

Someone once said, There's two things you can count on in life... death and taxes.

As I navigate my life I have found that there is one thing you can count on... one constant...
change.

May as well embrace it because it's inevitable.

Looking forward to the change ahead at work as my department goes through a reorganization to make us work like a global organization since we are, afterall, a global organization.

I now report to a Frenchman, mais oui!

Change... it's just around the corner.

It's Groundhog Day!

Relapse, again... and he denies... like I am a complete idiot...

Only when caught does he concede... amazing how he can lie and deny.

I know he's addicted... I know he does it once he gives his PO a clean urine...

He goes and gets high... this has been the pattern I have seen in recent weeks.

I am about to have a coronary or stroke... this is killing my inner soul.

I told him he has to get out because I cannot witness him killing himself anymore.

This horrible addiction affects more than the addict.

It's sucking my life right out of me... and I am sad, mad and furious.

It's Groundhog Day... here we go again.  Please keep me in your prayers.

I could use a shoulder right about now... but alas I am left with only my words

on this simple blog.  I wish  you an addict-free life because it truly sucks.
