No Excuses!?

I figure I'd better keep up with the blogging as best as I can so I don't disappoint my fan club! (Party of one, anybody:) )

Monday was my parent's 38th Wedding Anniversary. Here's to committment!

Super Tuesday results mean Mitt is looking like the GOP candidate. Let's get Obama outta there. But Ron Paul.... now we're talking! That's all I'm gonna say about politics right now. Did you know that GOP stands for Grand Old Party? I didn't. Now we know.

Wednesday aka hump day. Picked up a Z-pack so I could get over these flu-like symptoms. Looks like I'm heading over the hump!!!

Thursday. Today. Tantalizing. Terrific..... Tomorrow... TGIF!

Seriously

I've never heard of Pantone before this past week. All of a sudden, it's everywhere! OMGoodness! Like, we need to have someone, like, pick a color for us because how are we ever going to "communicate" the "right" color between industries? How will my orange rug match the throw pillows if everyone doesn't know it's "tangerine tango"?

I like the color, don't get me wrong! Just hate the "trends" we are going to be spoon- fed everywhere you look. Just a bit of sugar to make it go down, right?

Sedona

I've lived in AZ since 1995, been to the Grand Canyon only three times, driven through Sedona a couple of times, and just recently actually stopped and visited. Oh, the things we take for granted! GORGEOUS day for a hike in Sedona. Gotta do this again, soon.

New Year's Resolution

I like this for my inspiration for this (2012) year. I especially like the first three items!!

My Christmas Tree 2011

Since I'm back- tracking with my blogging, thought I'd include my Christmas tree of 2011. Here's the ornament that started my "purple & green" theme years ago. About 5-6 years ago, I went after Christmas shopping and picked this ornament at 75% off.... and so the tradition began to go shopping after the holidays for purple and green ornaments at 75% off prices!

Here are the new ornaments I had purchased and would be hanging up after a year in storage:

And the tree before:

Step 1: add some trim.

Step 2: stick things in the top.

Step 3: add the ornaments.

And wa la!!

Step 4: find a new theme for next year because there's no more room for ornaments on this tree!
So, for next year.... it's going to be an Americana Cristmas!!!
