I didn’t plan on posting anything today, but my bloggy friend Dee over at Cocktails with Mom gave me a great idea for a post.  So today I’ll be sharing with you some interesting facts about me you otherwise would not have known.

My Favorites:

  • Favorite Food – oxtails smothered in gravy
  • Favorite Color – brown
  • Favorite Movie – Avatar
  • Favorite Song – Stay by Sugarland
  • Favorite TV Show – Law & Order SVU

About Me:

  • I wear glasses
  • My hair is jet black and it’s never been dyed
  • I’m 5’9 though people always think I’m taller
  • I have Angela Bassett arms (very defined)
  • I’m a classic romantic

Okay, so now that you know a little more about me, I would love to know more about each and everyone of my fabulous readers.  Nothing spectacular, just leave me a comment with one interesting fact about yourself that you’d like for me to know.  A big thanks again to Dee for inspiring this post.

Okay I know this is suppose to be wordless, but I just couldn’t resist.  This is me at Sea World during our Christmas break.  I can’t believe I was able to touch one!

Everyone has them but most get lost in translation over the course of time. I personally have not had a new years resolution since before the birth of my children (just wasn’t motivated enough to give it any thought I guess). So here we are, fresh into the new year, and I’ve decided to give it some thought. What I came up with is a list of very achievable goals I would like to complete before the end of this year.

My 2010 New Years Resolutions

  1. Attend church regularly
  2. Create and follow a daily schedule
  3. Lose 40 lbs. before my 30th birthday
  4. Teach my son how to read
  5. Get organized
  6. Create a budget and stick to it
  7. Blog regularly
  8. Plan and cook at least 3 nutritious meals a week
  9. Find time for myself
  10. Find inexpensive and creative activities for me and the kids to do on the weekends

I’m sure I will be adding to this list before it’s all said and done, but for now these are the most important things I would like to accomplish this year.

For me this day signifies the beginning of the holiday season.  A time spent with family and friends, enjoying the festivities, shopping, decorating and not to mention, filling our bellies with delicious treats.  The warmth and comfort that fills my spirit during the holidays makes every moment so special.

I find myself reflecting on my past, growing up in a loving environment, with a very supportive family that provided for all my wants and needs.  And in my reflection, I think back most to the holiday season, sitting around the fireplace, singing carols and counting how many presents were under the tree.  The excitement we experienced when it was time to hand out gifts, and even more excitement when it was our turn to open them.
