Sticking with It...

In an effort to become a better blogger, I thought I'd take a little time today to write a real blog!  I know, it's impressive.  Don't get too used to it though.  My fear is that it will slip my mind more than it will come to mind.

Update on my 2014 Endeavors: One of my endeavors for the year was to read a book each month and I finished my book for Jan last week!  That's what happens when you're stuck inside thanks to snow and SUPER cold temperatures.  I had a few more extra days to read so that's what I did (on top of watching the Teen Wolf marathon and having my own Twilight marathon).  I read Allegiant.  It was the 3rd and final book in the Divergent series.  I will say that I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the 1st one.  It took me a little longer to get into but I think that's because I read the 2nd one almost a year ago (if not longer).  But with that said, it was still a very good point.  I'm excited to see the Divergent movie in March.  If you know me, then you know I'll be there at the first showing possible.  That's just how I do it!  Another one of my endeavors was to read through the Bible this year and I can say at this moment, I'm still on track!  I know that it's only January 15, but that is a big deal.  I'm proud of myself!  I'm still sticking with the things I had set my mind to for the year.  I'm hoping it continues!

There's nothing new in the foster-to-adopt category.  We'll be setting up a date soon for the home study.  I'll have classes to take.  So for now, nothing new.  Am I nervous?  Not necessarily.  It's hard to explain.  I can be a little bit of a perfectionist and people-pleaser when it comes to things like this.  So I'm concentrating on just being me.

Sadly, there is nothing else to report.  This is my life.  Boring!  But that's ok.  I'm content with boring.  That means I have more time to read!!  (ha, ha!)

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Friday Follow

How come when it's time to do the Friday Follow, I have nothing interesting to say??? Hmmmm...it's been a long week.  Days where things just didn't make sense.  Lots I need to process.  It's possible that all of my thinking will lead to a great post this weekend.  But for now, I just hope all of you new visitors find something interesting to read from other posts here.  I plan to spend this rainy weekend doing some thinking, relaxing, watching movies and checking out new blogs!  Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, right?  :-)  Thanks for stopping by!

New Cards!!!

So between resting this weekend (cause my allergies kicked my butt...especially yesterday), I worked on making some cards.  It's been SO long since I've actually spent time doing something like this and I LOVE making cards!  So I wanted to share them with you.  I made 20 cards total.  2 each of 10 designs.  So now there's two sets of friendship cards.  I think I'm going to try to sell one set.  Then I think give the other set away.  I'm just not sure how.  Any ideas?  I'm thinking if you leave a comment about the cards you'll be entered to win.  If you buy one set of cards, you'll also be entered to win.  Hows that sound?
