Does anyone have a blast organizing stuff?! :lol:

I guess I can just crank up the tunes and dance away while I do so. That always helps! =)

More power to those of you who are organizing! I try to keep things corralled, but it's a losing battle ... it always seems like there are more things than places to put them. I really need to go through things and get rid of the deadwood. One helpful little secret: I have a couple footstools that can be used for storage. They have padded lids and are hollow inside. I chucked some of my charging cables inside of one.

Good morning.

I'm still checking my pulse this morning after my mishap driving on in to work. The traffic was heavy, a misty rain was falling and the traffic was doing about 60 in a 65 and when all of a sudden the cars in front of me slammed on their brakes. I hit mine, and slid, I was heading into the back of another car, I took my foot off the brakes, swerved, missed the rear of the car in front of me by about a foot. I then turned the wheel again, but nothing since I was then off road in the mud and I hit the guard rail.

I bounced off and stopped. The truck lights are hanging down off the truck, fender and front left side of the truck is damaged. But, I didn't hit the kid in front of me... he did pull over to make sure I was ok, (nice of him). I told him I was ok, and that it was not his fault and I thanked him for pulling over to check on me....

I just glad I didn't run into the back of someone else and that no one got hurt. the truck can be fixed, no big deal~

What a horrifying start to the day! I'm glad that you're okay.

Good Morning MMC!!! It's going to be a cooler day here with temps in the 30's. We are also going to get some rain turning to snow overnight. Nothing exciting going on here today. Just the same old boring stuff. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Good afternoon,

It is kind of a sad day, I have taken down 3 of our trees most of the lights inside, disconnected all the outdoor stuff. I am stopping for the day, the room with the 7.5 foot tree is still decorated and will be until Sunday. Just about everything else is done. It looks so dreary now.
I got to rustle up some grub for lunch, I am starving. I have been busy besides undecorating I have done laundry, dishes, vacuuming up all the fake pine needles. cheesy

I will be in throughout the day.

Good (wet!) Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

Gosh, it's really raining! I work in an office trailer outside the main office, but I'm constantly walking between the two. Even an umbrella doesn't always help while carrying files. Yuck!

I have to go to a meeting requested by the county commission this evening. Such a pain in the rumpus. Those guys pay themselves every time they meet (I disagree with any salary for part-time elected officials), but it's just time away from my family, for me. I guess I shouldn't have run for office, if I didn't want to attend meetings, eh? :lol:

I hope y'all have a great day! Stay dry! cheesy

That's scary! Something very similar happened during our summer vacation in the mountains, but luckily I didn't hit anything. Boy, when those brakes lock and you start sliding, it's pucker-time for sure! Glad you had the presence of mind to release the brakes to get more control of the truck.

I'm glad you weren't (or anyone else wasn't) hurt!

Christmasstar, you asked about goals. Since I try to eat healthy all year I want to successfully grow a veggie garden! I want to grow my own food for a change! I seem to kill my gardens! It irritates me that I work for a place that we sell and educate people how to grow veggies and I cannot seem to have any success! Meceka can teach me about canning after harvest! :wink:

I want to get everything single thing in my house organized and stay that way! Most areas of my house are well organized but a few spots are a wreck with junk I don't need! Like a couple of closets and cabinets. I can shut the door on those and try to ignore it but it annoys me it's like that! Ha ha!

I exercise through the year but want to step that up a bit and do more outdoor activities as the weather will allow. Bike riding! I will have to put a hold on it during the summer since everyone drops over with heat strokes here during that time. Blah!

These are not big goals like opening a business, going to school or things like that but just little things I want to do this year! Baby steps. =)

Great goals CAH!
Good luck, you too Made!
I am typically super organized but the construction in the house has thrown me off. Can't wait for things to go back to normal.

Lucky you!

We pass by there frequently and the Gaylord Texan that is across the street. One of these days we might actually go there! I live so close by!

What a beautiful day we are having! The sun is out, the sky blue, feels like spring.
I am sitting in tha van having lunch and had to open the windows because it was so warm in here.
Have to enjoy as snow is on the way again.
It is January after all!
