GoooooOd bye 2012!!!

Can I please send in a request that 2013 be a bit calmer?? I'll even take dull and boring. Thank you!

Happy new Year to all of you!!! If you have been here at the O for a while, I am sure that you have heard about my dislike of this holiday. Ever since I was a kid- its been depressing to me. Now its just another night that's too cold and makes me stay up too late. ha!!

Cranky faery Strikes again!

We are going to my neighbor's tonight-- 2 houses down. This year I told Amber No Cosmos for me!!! Last year, I drank way to many cosmos and felt sick as a dog the next day. I usually only drink wine or beer and I guess the cosmos were way strong. (and yes, too plentiful!). But Amber told me, no worries-- no cosmos this time. She is making pomegranate martinis!:cosmo
I will only have one-- to be polite. I have to pick Scott up from his GF's tomorrow and will not have the option to feel sick making that trip.

I am off to the supermarket in a few. Every morning this winter break, I have not been able to sleep/stay in bed past 5 or 6 am. Thsi morning, I *had* to get up, and this is the one morniong I could have physically slept way later. As it was, I dragged my butt out of bed at 6:45- later than my 6 am alarm..... why is that? Tell me I am not the only one of the Ozie InsOmniac Club that can only sleep late when it is not part of the schedule? :sleep:

Anyway, many many wishes of happiness and HEALTH! for the New year!!!

Love to you all!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I could have slept late this morning...but I was up at 3:30. What's the deal?? This old age...well, I'm glad that I'm alive so how can I complain about old age? (Caught myself about to complain about getting older and I don't like the alternative so...this is part of my 2013 plan...to live Daily.)

Not much planned at the Slycord home today. Interviewing my last nanny candidate. Last night's interview was not good. Pleasant enough girl (between her freshman and sophomore years in college) but very little personality. She just sat and smiled and answered my questions with yes or no. I hope today's interview goes better!

Brian works noon to nine today so mainly me and the kids! Going to try to get the kids to put down the iPods and do some reading today! Two more days off...then three days of work...and then two days off. Can't complain about that!

Been loving the gallery! It is absolutely gorgeous!!! Now, off to the showers for me! It's going to be a cold one in Iowa today and I need to get some warm clothes on!
 
Merry Monday Morning O fam- looks like the weather will cooperate and I will be out with MMG tonight! I thought the previous snow forecast might ruin my plans. I just finished my workout- I will be dumping the goodies into the trash as I have gained 2 pounds- through my own fault of slacking on water, continuous snacking and slacking in my workouts- so today starts a new day and better health. I have to make a sympathy card for my husbands bosses father, the original founder of the company he works for. I met him once at a dinner function. I think I am going to put my new toy to the test for a fancy card since it will be hand delivered. Still working on cleaning my craft room- I have been painting the cabinets. MMG was kind of grumpy this weekend so I decided hanging them would wait until a better day- you know what I mean.

Have a safe and happy new year one and all- and to those who have already celebrated- thanks for ringing it in for us!
 
Morning LindaS try to have a warm day. I took today off and I have only two days of work this week. You know where I will be- craft room/basement! Oh and I took advantage of a sale at Jessica Sprague and bought 3 classes to help me get the most out of my silhouette! Yeah me! I plan to not make it an expensive toy, but rather a useful tool- ( a CHANGE for me) Change is my one little word for 2013!
 
Good morning "O" so lovely ladies! It's New Years Eve and I have to go to work :mmph: oh well its only until noon and I get to be in the back office doing up the cash deposits and balancing the work from the weekend. Sure hope nothing confusing comes up with the balancing because I just don't think I can strain the brain that much today, like Chris I could have slept in a bit later. I knew that I would pay for the great sleep I had the night before and and tossed and turned all night long :sleep:

MG offered to take me out to dinner tonight, but neither one of us can decide where to go so we will most likely just stay home. I am looking forward to a few hours of time to myself this afternoon, seems my man has been underfoot for the past week and its driving me crazy, don't know how you do it Chris???

Hi Laurie and LindaS hope that your days go smoothly :wave:

I am also wishing everyone Health and Happiness for this new year 2013, may you all find this year to be the best one ever!!

i was up at 4 a.m., so we're all keeping the streak going. i rolled over in bed and whatever this weird thing is in my right side gave me a giant zap of pain, so there went sleep.... but i must say, i am kind of liking getting a lot done before noon!! sort of.

i went through my clothes yesterday and now only have 8 pair of blue jeans instead of 15. and i got rid of things i either have NEVER worn or haven't worn in an age. or that i don't fit in anymore. gonna try to go through Hubby's closet today. he's the kind of guy who wears the same 10 things over and over and over. so, i'm going to donate all the stuff he never gets to. i just know he'll say: WHERE did (insert item here) go?? i was going to wear that today!! yeah...right....

going to the grocery store at last. no snow today or tomorrow. we actually have somewhere to go on New Year's Day! my cousin invited a bunch of The Fam over for dinner. it should be nice. i'll try to keep my mouth shut this time. last time we were together, he said that his biggest fear was nano-technology and the ability of a programmer to write a code for the little 'bugs" that could destroy all carbon-based life forms. (he's a computer guy professionally.) i told him to look around the world at the more immediate probs and get a grip. went over like a lead balloon with him and my other genius engineer cousin. they both just stared at me. ah, well.

OK. off to shower and get out there in the Winter Wonderland.

Happy New Year, O-zies. let's all "resolve" to SLEEP more!
 
Phylis everyone knows engineers have no communication skills - I do- both of my sons are engineers- enjoy the grocery store- I am putting that off for a bit- maybe tomorrow!
 
Laurie, if both your guys are engineers, they must both have good JOBS!!! i raised two English majors.... they can communicate like mad, but DD still needs to find a different job that actually requires a college education.
 
well, they have jobs- in DC where the cost of living is outrageous- son # 2 is paying 1/4 the rent to live on the couch at $600 for a two bedroom condo. Hoping he is able to move out on his own- in 2013- likely to Virginia where the cost of living is much less and makes up for the commute costs/time. Someone else occupies the second bedroom. His brother is cheap, but not that cheap!!
 
Good morning wonderful O ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wishing everyone a 2013 filled with major scrapping mojo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and health... so important!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I first had the flu, now a bad cold and it saps the life right outta ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think my immune system went down the crapper from having the baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's such a good baby though so I can't complain:)

Phylis that's such a great idea going thru clothes... I should totally do that too, only I need to play catch up with other housework first!

Cheers ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's to a fantastic NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
