Counting down the minutes to Friday,

Alright, now I know who is truly devoted I just had to brag on G a little. We don’t do a big Valentine’s Day (we prefer to go to the drugstore February 15 and purchase discounted candy. Hot, I know), but he always delivers a heart-felt card. This year was no exception.  Check out what my crafty man came up with:

That’s right. He used this template (from my girl, Martha), went to the craft store for pink PAISLEY scrapbook paper, created a masterpiece, and wrote lines from one of our favorite songs on the edges. Martha, pink paisley, and John Mayer. G knows how to keep this girl happy.

AND, if that wasn’t enough, I found a Snicker bar on my steering wheel this morning left there by G after I sent him to fill my car with gas last night. What a guy.

I love you, G! Thanks for getting my Monday off to a good start.

Alright, that’s enough. Stop gagging, I can hear it from here.

Hope your Monday is full of pink paisley,

Don’t worry – I actually had a lovely Valentine’s Day with the husband and some great friends who were here from out of town. I just had to share this image from FFFFOUND! I just discovered this site, and it is now like visual crack to me.

Have a happy Monday! Don’t forget to sign up for our amazing GIVEAWAY by redletterwords. Leave a comment on that post (open till Thursday) to win!

You don’t suck,

You may not have noticed, but my personality could be considered “Type A” (somewhere out there G is laughing hysterically). Therefore, I LOVE New Year’s resolutions. I love making a list of goals and the satisfaction of crossing things off the list. Granted, the in-between may not be so pleasant, but let’s not dwell on that now. I have some important things to accomplish this year, so I’m going to publish my list for added accountability:

1. Take vitamins regularly (I will strive for daily). Simple, beneficial, but for some reason I have trouble doing it.

2. Work out at least 4 times per week. Ugh. An athlete I am not. And my workout buddy made it through Army bootcamp (not to mention the year in Iraq), so I have a bit of catching up to do…..

3. Learn how to sew. My fabulous (and talented) mother gave me a sewing machine for Christmas AND a lesson. I’m compiling inspiration photos and IT’S ON.

4. Clean out our house. The closets, cupboards, attic, and basement are out of control. I need to organize and de-clutter, re-purpose and donate.

5. Start a non-profit. A need AND a solution have been identified, but I’m getting bogged down in the details. One step at a time and eventually I will get there.

What are your New Year’s resolutions?
