Spain rules! by Lizzie

Wow--two posts in one day! But for a good reason...

I will be taking this Cathy Zielske class at Big Picture Scrapbooking:

I can't wait to use my Facebook expertise and finally attempt to figure out Photoshop Elements.
I took CZ's class in KC back in October and I love her personality! I can't wait to begin. I may even post some of the layouts here. Cool.

Time is marching on...

"You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older.
And now you're even older
and now you're even older.
You're older than you've ever been and now you're even older.
And now you're older still."

I am now 40. Hallelujah!

Time is flying like always, almost out of control. Life is good but busy. I picked a fine day to wake up too early--daylight savings time has just begun.

We are getting much needed rain here in the Heartland. The grass will be greening up quite nicely soon and the trees and flowers are beginning to bud. However, it is going to get cold again next week, just in time for spring break. :)

I'm thinking of scrapbooking in a few moments. I know--what a miracle, huh? I am just THINKING about it though. Will I actually do it? LOL!

Happy Sunday to all!

Living life to the fullest and paying the price, literally.

We have had car repairs out the wazoo in the last couple of weeks, our dishwasher needs to be replaced, our cats needed medical attention, etc, etc, etc. When it rains, it certainly does pour. I suppose it could always be worse, huh?

I hope you've enjoyed your holidays!

Happy New Year!

I won't say that I am making any formal resolutions--those never seem to work. After all, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Speaking of old, I will be hitting a major milestone in age--40, to be exact--this year. So my informal resolution in 2009 is to live it up and enjoy life. I believe this February 23 will be a hard day to digest but isn't age just a silly number after all? And turning 40 is better than the alternative.

I want to be a good example to my children and enjoy life to the fullest. I want to remember to appreciate my family, my friends, my job and my home. I want to remember just how fortunate I am in life and I want to appreciate all the blessings I have.

Thank you for reading. Here's to a more positive 2009!
