Try Try Again...

Happier Pictures, Images and Photos

I woke up this morning and decided to be in a good mood. The other day at work someone said I was always so nice and chipper. I don't feel that way. Today I made the choice to be happy. It's been a good day. It's amazing what happens when you give yourself a little attitude adjustment.
I have been doing fairly good on my 7 new years resolutions. I've been baking, writing real letters, reading, and crafting. But not as good as I hoped, so I'm going to try try again.
I keep hearing the line, "If at first you don't succeed, Try, try again."
But for the life of me I can't remember where that is from? A movie? A cartoon? Can somebody help me?
The next thing I am going to try try again at is, Running. I used to run, I didn't love it, but I considered myself a runner. I ran races and a marathon. I stopped after the marathon. So I have set a goal to run a 5k by June. I am going to pick a race, enter it, train for it and run it sometime this spring! I will keep you posted on my daily progress. The last race I ran was 8 years ago! So there ya go... Try Try Again.

Okay, If you were wondering, cause I know you were, if i ate at a buffet in Vegas, this should hopefully answer your question:



I don't mess around when it comes to Buffets!

....I will NOT be eating like this during my training.***

***(I will TRY to not eat like that during my training)

I'm not sure where that quote came from-but it's a great quote nonetheless!

Sounds like a great way to start the day-what a great mantra!!!!

What a great goal-the 5k-I'm lucky to do 20 minutes walking fast on the treadmill, but a start is a start.:)

I am going to post that on my mirror or something where I see it every morning - "Try to be happier than a bird with a french fry." Genius!

you always crack me up! getting back into running...always a feat. I love running, but I'm not a natural runner, so it alway takes me some time to get comfortable again. Best of luck to you! Oh, and I certainly don't mess around with buffets either!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
