End the Year with 12 random Questions

I stole this from another blog . . . .


1. Do you find it gross to share drinks with family? Friends?

I'll share with Brett, but that is about it.


2. What have you learned this year? (You didn't see a question of that weight coming, did you? At least not for #2.)

I am far from the child of God that I should be. I have a lot of learning and growing to do. And Brett is a huge part of helping me do that.

3. When do you dismantle the Christmas decorations?

I am having girl's dinner group over on Jan 4th. So I am leaving it up till then. This year I am going to pack everything away the right way too!


4. Something you wish to accomplish before the end of 2009 is:

Well there is about 14 hours left to make this happen - so my goal is to not die.

5. How do you feel about winter (after Christmas)?

Blah - too cold.


6. Have you participated in after-Christmas sales?

Nope, but if a steal of a deal comes up and it is something we need, then maybe.

7. Do you have plans for New Year's Eve?

We will be over at my cousin Desi's. Good food and fun games.


8. Is there anything special awaiting you in January?

A lot of work! I have to take care of W-2's 1099's and end of year contribution letters.


9. If your life this year was a movie, what category or genre would it be? (Romance, Comedy, Drama, Thriller, Suspense, Farcical, etc.)

Action with some romance.

10. How much time per day do you spend blogging?

Writing on my blog - not much. Reading other blogs - too much!

11. Who runs your household?

I would like to say it is a joint effort. I do the inside house stuff, Brett covers the outside stuff. We make the big decisions together.

12. Share one hope/dream for 2010!

Good health, stable finances, have fun.

You stole my heart

Dear Brett,

I just wanted to tell you that you stole my heart the other day. Granddad came over to help you work on a project in the shop. As he was leaving you told he how pretty the Christmas tree looked and how each ornament has a memory and meaning behind it. You then picked out a few of your favorites to show him. Thank you so much for doing that. It means so much to me that you love our “random” tree. Although I think a better name for it is our memory tree. I am so excited that we will add to this tree every year. The ornaments will represent our memories as a family. I love you so much and I just had to tell you that you stole my heart.

Love you dearly,

Jill

We took our cat on a walk

I am not joking, we took Tiger on a walk this past weekend. I carried him down the driveway and up the street just a bit. Then I set him down and he started to follow us. There was no leash at all. He walked with us all the way around the block. He would stop to sniff some yards and he found the sewers very interesting. Some times I think he is more of a dog than a cat.

But he might be people cheating on us. All day Sunday we didn't see Tiger. Finally about 5:00 pm I got worried. My fear was that he fell down into the sewer and couldn't get back out. So we went walking down the street looking for him. After a bit he came running home. I picked him us and snuggled my face in his fur. What did I smell but another woman's perfume!! I think he found a sweet lady down the street . . .

A great give away!

This is my first time to post about a give away and this one is GREAT!!

Hop over to Totally Together Reviews and check it out. You are going to love it.

Stephanie has this to say, "How would you like to have an absolutely PERFECT cup of coffee or mixed espresso drink without having to grind beans, do any measuring, or steam any milk? The Tassimo will make you your perfect coffee-house quality drink when ever you’d like and you don’t need to ever leave the house. Or your office. Or your pajamas."

I agree 100%

What a wonderful weekend

Brett and I had a great weekend at Petit Jean state park. Some of the highlights were good food, good movies, the hot tub, beautiful weather, great hiking, finding 11 geocaches, and celebrating one year of being married.

Pictures to come soon.

Trying some thing new . . .

My mom and I are going to try some thing new over Christmas break. We have two couches in the living room. One from Brett's Nana and one from Brett's parents. The are in great condition, but the fabric is out of date. So mom and I are going to try to recover them.

We will start with Nana's couch. It has straight lines and a simple frame. The fabric is a dark brown diamond pattern with a khaki dot at the points of the diamond. I'll try to get a picture of the fabric up here soon.

Wish us luck!! I'll post pics later to show our progress.
