buy. call. do. 2012.

One of my most favorite things to do at the end of the year is to pick up a new planner and get organized for the coming year. It's kind of like that back to school feeling for me. Fill in the birthdays and other special days and I am off running... Buy lists. Call lists. Do Lists. All on new colors of Post It Notes [TOTALLY 100% COMPLETELY LOVE THEM]. Pretty much everything fits into one of those areas. The blank calendar gives me fresh hope of possibilities... new goals, better choices and more balance. Each year I do better in some ways and in other areas, I feel that I may as well throw myself off the cliff in despair as I can't quite get a handle on a few areas. I have to keep reminding myself that my feet are pointed in the right direction and to be patient with myself as I redirect throughout the year.

holiday hallmark movie time

We love them. Every one of them... yes the sometimes goofy ones too. Today, even Paul joined us for 'A Princess For Christmas' and 'A Holiday Engagement'. Thank goodness for being able to pre-tape these so we can watch them together all holiday long. Honestly, does it get any better than a good Hallmark movie, especially when there are snow flurries outside and we are tucked inside with a warm fire? I know my sister Becky and probably her boys are watching them today too :)
