What a wonderful surprise to receive birthday wishes from my 43T friends. My participation here has been so spotty this last year that I truly was surprised. It’s a great feeling knowing that I’ve got friends here and that I can stop in any time to chat, laugh, get or give support, learn something new, and motivate each other to reach our goals. Thank you so much for getting my birthday off to a lovely start.

I’m still horribly disorganized and struggling to find time for everything, including 43Things. But even if it means being late to work today, I just have to say Merry Christmas to my 43Things friends. And, if you don’t celebrate Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, or any other special occasion you are celebrating.
Thank you for the cards and messages. It’s nice to know that I’m thought about. It was a special treat to receive a card from the Chicago get-together. I miss you all and hope to be back soon.
Merry Christmas!
With love from Annie
Looking for a “quick fix” for something, I decided to look for a new kitchen rug or floor mat. I found this. They say it’s easy to clean and it will help my feet, too! My cabinets are painted white, the appliances are black, the walls are apricot flower (light soft orange), and the floors are light wood. They would probably recommend black, but I hate black. So, what color do you suggest?
