This is the time that people start making their New Years Resolutions. I usually don’t even bother making them anymore because I never seem to end up keeping them. But I really do need to manage my time better and get more organized…this is not going to be an easy task! So what are some of  yours and do you usually end up keeping them?

I hope everyone had a nice holiday and I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!! I know this time of year is especially hard for a lot of people. This can be a very depressing time for those that are alone and for those that have lost loved ones. Just know that you are not alone, there are a lot of people going through the same exact things and it really does get better with time.

The month of  December this year has been colder than normal and it’s already snowed here two different times. I love how pretty the snow is coming down but I have to say that it really messes up my travel plans. It seems to always snow when I have plans to go out of town. I haven’t got as much done this month as I had hoped. Not only have I been sick but both the cat and dog have been sick. Just glad they weren’t sick at the same time! The dog was so sick that I ended up having to take him to the vet. He is finally getting better now. Hate when my babies are sick! Don’t even want to think what the next crisis will be…can’t things just be slow and boring for awhile?!!!

Just wanted to give everyone an update on what’s been going on. The month of November has been pretty bad for me. First I was sick with a sinus infection and then before I even got over that, I ended up with an eye infection. Then just when I was getting over all that, my internet here at the house went out. Usually when my internet goes out it is only out for like 1-2 days. This time it was out for 12 days!!!! I was calling everyday and getting transferred to this person and that person and yet nobody could tell me anything!! Still don’t have any idea what was wrong but they did get me back up a few hours ago.

It’s been tough being without internet here at the house for so long…I’ve been having to run around everywhere just so I could get online here and there. You don’t realize how much you depend on the net until you don’t have it!!! And it’s been especially hard being without the internet here at the holidays. I do a lot of my shopping online and it’s put me way behind!

You don’t even want to get me started on this holiday traffic!! Where do these people come from?!!! Traffic last night coming back home from my mom’s was a nightmare!!! Now I know why I get so stressed around the holidays!! I really hope December turns out better than November!

Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Independence Day is commonly known as the Fourth of July. It’s a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks.

So to all my American friends, I wish you a safe and happy 4th of July! Please don’t forget about your pets tonight, more pets will go missing tonight then any other time of the year because most are terrified of fireworks. Please keep them safe…they count on us to protect them.

Just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all the men and women past and present for all you do. You give up so much to serve our great country and we will be forever grateful for all that you do. Hope everyone is having a safe and happy Memorial Day!

Can you believe it is already 2010?! Wow, I can’t! Where does the time go?

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I know this has been a tough year for a lot of  people. I hope 2010 will bring better health, more opportunities, happier memories, a better economy, and so much more. Lets make this year a good one!

And I know the holidays  are depressing for a lot of us that are especially missing our loved ones that have passed on. From personal experience, it does get a little easier with time but it’s never the same but you just do the best you can to get by.

Thank you to all my readers and to my advertisers. None of this would be possible without you, so thank you so much!
