Journaling again
I haven't journaled in a few years. But decided to start again this year. It won't be everyday, just when fun/important things happen. I'll also be writing in my organizing plans for the week & adding pics from magazines & other photos.

My word of the year~Organize
This year my word of the year is Organize (organization). I love to organize & am pretty good @ it, but not good @ keeping things organized. I bought a cute basket last week @ Christmas tree shop & 2 yesterday. Each week I am going to write down what I want to organize that week . I think having it written down will help me actually do it.
I got this polka dot tote @ X-mas tree shop. Not sure where I'm going to put it or what I'll put in it.
I got these 1s @ Target in the dollar section.

Fun finds
Got this cute stuff @ Christmas tree shop the other day. I got this pic for my office, since it's pink, black & white. Love girlie things.
I love this pillow below. I have it on the bed in my office (guest room) right now, but might put it in the living room @ the beginning of February.

1st day of pre-school
Today was T's 1st day of pre-school. We had originally planned on her going to school this September, but there was an opening at her friend's school for just Fridays. She did so good. Of course her friend ran up to her & hugged her, so that made things better. Also we knew the Mom that was volunteering today & she's really nice. It was hard to leave, but I was relieved that things were okay & she didn't cry.
It was only for 2 hrs, but I came home & cleaned & organized (I LOVE cleaning & organizing when no one is home). After I picked her up, I took her out to lunch & her friend from school & my Mom friend met us at McDonald's. The girls got matching dogs in their Happy Meal & it was a fun day.

So many blogs, so little time
I have so many blogs that I love. All different types. Decorating, crafting (Craftomaniac) couponing & savings (Hip2Save) giveaways, make-up (Vampy Varnish)), nailpolish (Babbling Brooke) , shopping, mom blogs, cooking/baking, scrapbooking & more. I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I add new 1s everyday to my faves.

52 tips for a better you
The Doctors tv show
It's a new year! Get 52 tips to better your health in 2011!
1. Try something new.
2. Make a New Year’s resolution.
3. Lift weights.
4. Have protein before a workout. You can drink a protein shake or drink a glass of milk.
5. Get out of your cardio rut.
6. Peel and eat an orange before a meal. It will force you to slow down, and it will fill
you up.
7. Carry cash, because studies found that people who pay for meals with cash make
healthier choices than those who pay with a credit card.
8. Eat at least one meal per week in complete silence by turning off the radio, TV and cell
phones while you eat.
9. Brush your teeth after eating.
10. Eat in front of a mirror. Studies have found that doing so cuts the amount you eat.
Looking at yourself while you eat may help remind you of your weight-loss goals.
11. Carry cinnamon sticks to help stop smoking. They are about the same size as a
cigarette and they offer a spicy sensation that’s pleasant in your mouth.
12. Carry honey straws to help stop smoking. They can serve as a replacement to
handling cigarettes, energize you and can even help soothe a lingering cough.
13. Drink ice-cold water through a straw to help stop smoking. It will stimulate brain
activity like a cigarette but without the toxins.
14. Fight acne with a nutmeg paste.
15. Soothe stomachaches with nutmeg.
16. Ease toothaches with nutmeg oil.
17. Drink pickle juice for sore muscles and cramps.
18. Remove nail stains with whitening toothpaste.

27. Give yourself a grape manicure.
28. Eat cheese to prevent wine-stained smiles.
29. Use apples to combat aging.

34. Reduce dust mites.

it isn’t too hot. Consult with your doctor if your child experiences an earache, and don’t
put anything in the ear if it is draining fluid or pus.
44. Feel confident in your skin and kick the sheets off to turn your partner on.
45. Do yoga to improve heart health, lower blood pressure, improve flexibility and
decrease stress.
46. Take your vitamin D.

kale and spinach, to decrease your risk of breast cancer. Try to eat them raw or lightly
steamed so they retain their health benefits.

and beans instead.

BFF's
Yesterday we had some of our friends over for New years day. We ordered pizza & sat around & talked. They handed me a bag & said that it was just a little something. I had gotten them matching best friend necklaces. So they gave me this necklace & the bracelet below. I was so surprised. We had already exchanged Christmas gifts.
I hope that someday Tara has some good/close friends as good as mine.
