I am blogging ! ! !

Never blogged before, but I really enjoy reading my niece's blog, so I decided to start a blog just noting day to day mundane activities, as well as exciting events of my life. At the age of 53, it doesn't seem that there would be too many exciting events (not like my niece has raising a 4 y/o and teaching pre-school), but I'll just see what I end up blogging about. I may really be surprised at what a fun, exciting life I have!

For years I have made New Year's Resolutions... usually to lose weight, eat healthier, and so forth, but somehow by the first of February the resolution was always a foggy memory. Then one year I made a resolution to spend more time with my precious Mama and that was the first resolution I kept. It was easy!

For 2008, I resolved to finish the 6 quilt tops I have made before starting a new top. I knew there was no way I'd quilt all those tops in 2008, but I just finished quilting one top... hummmm may not keep that resolution... there are too many fun and pretty quilts to make! I guess I need to find somebody to help me quilt!

Now 2009 is right around the corner and I have decided for my New Year's Resolution to write some of my memoirs. Sounds fancy doesn't it, but I read an article in "Reader's Digest" that said just start writing down events you remember from your life. So I am getting a neat journal and I will begin to jot down events that I remember. How I met my husband, the day my baby brother was born, the first day of first grade and so forth. I will keep you informed on how this resolution goes, but right now I am excited about it.

After 5 days off of work, I go back tomorrow. We have end of year stuff to clean up and preparation for 2009. Mostly I love my job, but there are days I just want to stay home in my pajamas and drink coffee and read a good book and quilt, and knit. I work with a wonderfully fun and funny group of people and we always have a good time together. Lunch time is always fun and helps get our minds off of the yucky hospital food we eat each day.

So so much for my first post... I'll blog more tomorrow to let you know how that first day back at work went!
