Top 2 Tuesday: New Years Resolutions

Top 2 New Year's Resolutions:

1. Get in the Best Shape I've ever been in and lose the weight I've gained: I was almost to my goal of 135 in May when I went on a cruise, but after a rather bad and depressing break-up in July I got lazy and stopped working out. I am determined to lose the weight before May and I'm working my butt off to do so.
2. Enjoy life more and stop stressing the little things- I am a BIG TIME stress"er" and I wan to stop stressing so much and enjoy life more. I spent the last 4 1/2 years living doing whatever someone else wanted to do and looking back now, I was miserable the whole time!!! But I would have never admitted that at the time. I NEVER want to do that again!! and third...
3. Become better about blogging, I started blogging for my photography, then I really enjoyed it so I started for enjoyment and I enjoyed reading others blogs, so I would like to get better about doing it everyday. I've let it really backslide lately.

So what are your New Year's Resolutions? Visit Taylor here and tell us.

Top 2 Tuesday: Games

We love to play lots of games in our family, but growing up two of my favorites, and they still are today too were Nertz and Scrabble..my mother is the scrabble queen and she rarely loses, but it's still fun to play as a family.

1. Nerts- we use to play this on our church youth trips all the time!!

2. Scrabble-

Thoughtless Thursday: LOST & Christmas Shopping

Confession time, I am buying everyone gift certificates except my best friend this year. Tacky, maybe, but they'll have to understand. 1. I am really short on money b/c I only have a part-time job, the economy isn't the best and after I was laid off in March, I took the first position I was offered. PLEASE pray for me a full-time job. I have been blessed to still be able to take a few trips lately on the weekend and I was able to go to NYC with my best friend, with the help of garage sale and extra money I earned through photography side jobs. I feel like a failure still not having a full-time job yet, but I know God will provide and has and I am so thankful to him. 2. I have no clue what to get half the people in my life/family right now.

Okay, must get back to work. Happy Thursday!!!

Elizabeth Edwards

No matter whether or not you or I agree with her political views or not, it saddens me to hear that Elizabeth Edwards has lost her battle with cancer. I feel so sorry for her children, as they have already had to ender the pain of their parents divorce, father's mistress and their child; and then, being so close to Christmas, they fore sure are in my thoughts and prayers right now during this holiday season.

Confession: with all my traveling lately, I have really slacked on my blogging... I still need to post pictures of more vacation times. i.e. New Orleans and hopefully tomorrow, I will post pictures of my Christmas Tree and it's pretty pink tree skirt and ornaments. :)

Happy Hump Day!!!
