WELCOME 2006 !!!!!!

Well, I made it through another complete year. I must say that the year 2005 has been a GREAT year. I never do New Year's Resolutions, but thought, what the heck, I will do a few this year.

Here are a few resolutions that I want to do:

1. Lose some serious weight. This won't be easy, but I think with determination and the help of family and friends, I can do this.

Hubby bought me one of those neat exercise bikes, complete with monitors for your heart, calories burnt, miles you have ridden, etc.. Dang, this thing even has a water bottle holder and a fan to help cool you down. I have ridden it a few times last year, but I plan on changing that this year by riding it at least 3 times a week.

2. Become more organized not only at work, but here at home too. Here again, hubby is helping me do this by buying me a new scrapping desk with those little compartments for my papers, embellishments, ribbons, and 'stuff'. I need to start filing at work everyday too, or at least let my assistant do it. I just don't have the time, as I am so busy. Gawd, I usually work 10-16 hours a day as it is. I really need to cut down on the overtime.

3. To do more with my friend, Hollye. She is my BESTEST friend ever. Over the years, she has always been there for me. We are both going to be the BIG 5-0 this year, her of course being the older of us. OK, so she's 6 days older, she is still older, LOL. We are gong to become Honorable members of the Red Hat Society. We are both excited about this. Hollye is going to be our chapter's Queen Mum, being the older one I guess has its perks.

4. I want to do at least 2-3 albums this year and COMPLETE them. The one that I am most excited about is doing an album about my 50th year. I want to do at least 12 pages, one for every month about what happened.

I don't want to list a bunch of the resolutions that I would like to accomplish just in case I don't keep them, LOL. I figured, with the ones listed above, those will be easy. Time will tell tho.

Well, tomorrow I am off work, and so is hubby, so we plan on going to the beach to catch a glimpse of the 15' waves the storm is causing. I definitely will bring my camera as they should make an interesting layout.

I want to add a few things to this blog, but to be quite honest, I have no clue how. I want to add a current calendar and a few permanent pictures of hubby and I. Maybe I should make this a resolution...to figure out how to do that.

OK..it's getting a bit late here, and hubby will be home from work in about an hour. I love it when he walks through that door - he still takes my breath away.
