Christmas 2011

This is the ONLY picture I took of our Christmas decor. We put the tree up Thanksgiving weekend and I'm so glad we did. Not only did we get to enjoy it every evening for nearly a month but if we had not put it up when we did I'm not so sure it would have ever gone up! I'm just saying...

Happy New Year!

Where did last year go? I can not believe it's already mid January 2012! The last time I posted was on October 30, 2011. Wow! The last quarter of the year just flew right past me. Having season tickets to the Cardinal football games really took a toll on me -- it's only eighth home games but couple that with holidays and taking care of the home, it's a lot!

I didn't post the following (and I had EVERY intention on doing so):

• Cardinal football games 4-Rams, 5-Cowboys, 6-49ers, 7-Browns and 8-Seahawks


• Thanksgiving decor pics


• Christmas decor pics


• Handmade Christmas cards


• Christmas wrapping


• My Sweetheart's holiday party


• the Insight Bowl


• premier show of the new MI: Ghost Protocol flick


• my new iphone


• my new ipad2


• Kuerig Special Edition

We are planning on season tickets for the Cardinals again this coming fall BUT this time around I'll be able to handle things differently. I'll know that when we have a home game, it will take up nearly my entire weekend. Preparation for tailgating, coupled with housework and grocery shopping takes up all of Saturday. Then tailgating, the game, post game tailgating take the entire day on Sunday.

We had the BEST time at the games and met some fun people and in the end the kaos and (threatened) meltdowns were totally worth it!

My 2012 plans are underway: organizing, finishing rooms (that I started mid year 2011), backyard projects, etc. There's a lot we want to get done and I'm so looking forward to executing our plans.

Bring it on 2012......I got this!
