| Aspirations |
Design a Web Site
Box in Amateur fights
Learn to read if not speak Spanish or Italian
Knit or Crochet a Blanket
Read the Bible
And War & Peace
These are my Aspirations so far. Maybe not for 2005 but for the next few years. My problem is getting motivated. When I get home from work, I am just so tired. I just want to veg out in front of the TV. I am trying though to do things. I also am trying to tame the mountain of stuff that is my house. My poor hubby is home with a sore back and trying to wade through everything. Everyday I want to do a little bit. The snow is making it harder because I can't throw out everything I want to. There is no room.
I will leave today with a request: Which version of the bible is the best (easiest) to read?
Let me know!

| What Blizzard? |
So the snow that we got really wasn't that bad. My hubby and I were very lucky too. We got snowbound in a luxury hotel. His grandmother invited us to the Installation dinner for the Fire Dept. where she is the treasurer. We got a hotel room where the dinner was, and boy was this place classy. I mean crystal chandeliers, fabric on the walls, and floor to ceiling gilded mirrors. We drove out Saturday afternoon when it had just sterted snowing. There was an open bar and food all night and we just had to walk upstairs to go to bed. It was great! We were glad to get home though. We got about one and a half feet of snow, and the roads were fine.

| MMMMM, NEED COFFEE! |
You Are 24 Years Old |
24
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

I am so tired right now. I can barely keep my eyes open. Ok well I need coffee.
Next topic:
Boxing and Web Site Design
These are the two topics I am thinking about right now. Boxing becuse I really need to get into shape and I feel the need to beat someone up. With boxing I can legally do that. Also I might get my ass whupped but I will be able to spar with my hubby and not get totally whupped.
Now web site design cuz this Blog is looking bland. I am trying to spruce it up by visiting other blogs but I can't seen to figure out some of the things they do. Like the hit counter. I couldn't figure out where to put it in the html to put it in the right place so I kinda put it waaaaaay up at the top. Oh Well! :(
I am feeling so weird right now. Really spacey but tired. No I am not on drugs. But, maybe I should be. Naaaah.
I have a question. Should I have a theme for my Blog? Or should I just continue to write about everything under the sun?
Please comment, I would love to hear what y'all have to say.
TA! TA!

| New Year' Resolutions (A bit late) |
I have been lurking all day. There is a button on the top of all Blogger pages that allows you to randomly got to a blogger.com page. I must have clicked at leats a thousand times. There are some weird people out there. Some interesting things too. (See above) I haven't made an actual New Year's Resolution. But I am kind of trying not to be depressed right now. It is kind of hard. Normal people don't realize this.

| Tickle Fight |
So my hubby decide last night that the best way to cheer me up was to tickle me. It was quite annoying while I was trying to eat dinner but it actually worked. I think though tonight I am goin to try and get him back. This will be an all out Tickle war before we are done. I am so glad I have the most wonderful man in the world. He will deal with all my insecurities and quirks.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey All!
So Ho Hum What? is kinda how my life goes. Ho Hum, Ho Hum, Ho Hum, then What!!!!!!!!! Days & Days of nothing going on then Smack! something catastrophic happens. (or so it may seem to me).
Here are some of my favorite things:
"Well -- the building stands ...
It is yours for what it has cost you.
It is mine for what it has cost me.
And it is for all mankind ...
Whatever its birth pangs,
it will take its place as your contribution and mine
to the vexed life of our time."
- Frank Lloyd Wright in a letter to Aline Barnsdall
You can, after all, have ethnic and gender pluralism along with intellectual uniformity. The Bush
Cabinet is the case study of a multicultural rainbow of political clones.
Jarrod Moses, CEO and president of Alliance, branding and marketing expert: "Three New Year's resolutions to live
my life by ... 1. Instinct is stronger than upbringing; 2. The work praises the man;
3. An inch of time is an inch of gold, but you can't buy that inch of time with an inch of gold."
Let that sink in a bit, and
Have a Hummy Day!
