Well, bad weather, the holidays, my mother’s illness and a few other things got me off track with my goals, but I’m back and looking forward to achieving more this year. I started a new job and I’m logging all of my walking miles. I walked 88.5 miles in January! I especially want to cheer all of you and reach my 1000 cheers given.

How I did it: I did it, but it was depressing. There was a glimmer of hope during the second half of the season, but it ended on quite a low note. The highlight of the season was Dave Niehaus being inducted into the Hall of Fame! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I start a shopping/idea list in the spring. The ideas sometimes change, but I'm thinking about it early. Then when I see something perfect, well close-to-perfect for that person, I buy it. Or if I see it in a magazine, I tear it out and attach it to the list. I love shopping online because I don't live close to a mall and I like to shop the sales. Shopping online also allows me to compare prices before buying… Read how I did it…
I have the most wonderful memories of going to the drive-in theatre with my family. We’d actually park our station wagon with the back facing the screen, be in our pajamas and have lots of pillows and blankets back there. We’d get to stay back there for the drive home…before seat belts!!! My favorite drive-in movie was “Jungle Book.” I should do this again.
Slowly, but surely I am getting organized. I’m throwing out, donating, finding new places and BIGGEST of all….I’m renting a small studio space for art + craft. The physical stuff is getting organized, but my daily routine and processes are getting organized too!
