Good evening! I know it is quite later than usual, but I just got home from a fun evening having out with my bestie, Dawn and her daughter, Sammy!! We started the evening out over at one of our favorite hangouts, Starbuck’s. Dawn has asked …
Good evening! I had an extremely rough day today, and instead of dwelling on that, I have decided that I needed to focus on some blessings tonight; things that I am thankful for!! I’m God’s daughter My husband My dad My sisters My Aunties My …
Good evening!
Do you ever get excited whenever you get a package in the mail???
or is that just me???
Well, tonight, after I got home from work, I found a package in my mail!! YEAH!!! 😉
Yes, I really do get that excited!!
In it, was my new 2012 Curly Girl calendar. I am not sure if you know who Curly Girl is, but she is one of my FAVORITE artists. She is a collage artist specializing in uplifting and girl power type artwork!! I am sooooo excited for the new year so that I can put it up in my office!!
I also received a new book called, The Right-Brain Business Plan. This book is by Jennifer Lee, and I have been drooling over this book seemingly FOREVER!!! I finally decided it was time to break down and treat myself to this little book! It is basically a book that helps visual people, like myself, visually map out a plan of action to get to where they want to be. I have needed this kind of help for a while now, because for some reason I seem to get all excited about something, get overwhelmed and then sabotage myself and end up back at the beginning of my progress!! So, I am at least hoping that this book will have some fun, and creative ideas for getting inspired!!!
There was one more thing in this package I received, but I am not at liberty to share what it was, because it was a Christmas gift for my sweetie, and he reads my blog faithfully!! I am SOOO NOT going to spoil that surprise!! 😉
What else happened today? Well, we had our Christmas luncheon at work today. It is always such a nice treat to have a delicious meal, served by our administration!! Plus, we usually take a bit of a longer lunch so we can just take some time to catch up on how everyone is doing. It was really quite a treat!!
I realized today that it is only one week from tomorrow until we are traveling down to Roseburg to see family for Christmas. I am just so excited to get there, and just hang out and have some fun!!! I will have to see if we can have our friend come over and babysit our girls while we are gone. I really do hate leaving them, but they really need to stay in there own habitat!! It is just safer for them!! I am hoping to someday have an RV where we can have a mini home away from home and then they could easily travel with us, but until then, a dog-sitter it is!!! 😉
Alright, that is enough rambling for one night!!
Have a FABULOUS evening! 
Good evening! This evening my sweetie gave me the best story. He was in the restroom at the store. There was a little boy and his father at the sink, and the little boy had decided he wasn’t going to wash his hands. The dad …
Good evening! This is going to be a rather short post. I feel a little like the white rabbit, saying, “I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date!” Tonight, after getting some chores done, my sweetie and I are going to spend some quality …
Good evening!
I have spent a good portion of my day sleeping my cold off today! 🙂 I was certain that I would have been back to my normal healthy self by now, but apparently that is not the case. Bummer! However, my husband has been very sweet and has taken great care of me today! Thank you, Baby! I sure do love you!!! 🙂
I am ready for my work week this week! We have a few Christmas activities this week, so I am hoping that it will be a rather fun week!! 🙂 I am so ready for Christmas this season. I am ready to be sleeping over at my sister’s house, laughing, playing games, watching movies, playing with the kiddos, and just having a great time!! 😉
Ok, so maybe I am just dreaming of a nice long, and I mean loooong vacation! I would LOVE to be able to find a log cabin, up in the woods, where there is snow on the ground, and my sweetie and I can hang out with a roaring fire in a fire place, cooking sweet meals, reading, snuggling, that would be PRICELESS!!! 😉
Ok, so I digress! Since I have spent most of my day sleeping, and yesterday wasn’t much more productive, I don’t really have anything new to talk about tonight!
So, with that being said, I will make sure to do a better job of coming up with topics of conversation for the rest of the week!! 😉
Have a FABULOUS evening! 🙂
Good evening! I am having a nice quiet evening at home, well that is except for the sneezing and the coughing – that is a little noisy, but seeing that I am the one doing it, I will excuse it!! 😉 My official plan for …
Good evening! I got home this evening, and Jason told me that he could hear murmuring coming from under the Christmas tree, so on further inspection this is what I saw… Closer… Do you see what I see? Isn’t that too cute??? You see, I …
Good evening!
My sweetie and I just got home after watching the movie Hugo, with our friend Errin! Let me just start out by saying what a FABULOUS movie!!!!
This movie is adapted from the children’s book The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick, which I can honestly say is one of my all-time favorite books. When I first discovered it, I couldn’t afford a copy, so I literally stayed in the bookstore all day so that I could read this enchanting story. It is filled with half words, and half pictures that are done so beautifully you almost feel as if you are already watching a movie. So, needless to say, I had high hopes for this movie going into this evening.
So, for my thoughts on this movie…
This movie, Hugo, although marketed towards children, in my opinion is a movie for grown ups! I can see children getting bored with it because the story is rather complex, which as an adult just adds to the mystery of this magical story. With that said, let me also tell you that the movie is also inspiring, hopeful, visually rich, and is very true to the book, which I JUST LOVE!!!
Hugo is set in Paris, in the 30’s, so the scenery, the hair, makeup, and fashions are a feast for the eyes! And the 3-D, which is oftentimes seemingly an afterthought in most 3-D movies only enhanced the story as it was artfully done and helped whisk you right into the story alongside Hugo! It also has a very strong positive message about family, not running away from your past even if you have had difficulties in life, and a reminder to us all the we all have a purpose here on earth, and that it is up to each one of us to discover what that is, and to decide whether or not we will strive to live up to that purpose.
So, I said it when I started tonight’s post, and I will say it again, what a FABULOUS movie!! This will be one that I will be adding to our collection, and already look forward to seeing it again! If any of you have already, or are planning on seeing this film, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!!! 😉
Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
Good evening! I have just gotten home with my sweetie, and I am sitting here with my girls keeping me warm! I have to tell you that I am feeling so much better than I have in the past few days! Thank you for all …
