Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

I resolve to get rid of a bit of clutter this year. I'm doing good so far. Every day I take something out of my house. It may be as small as 1 magazine that I finished and will get rid off. I've done a few sweaters, some old toys, 1 magazine. So I consider myself to be doing good. That's it. That's my one resolution!

I've also decided to participate in Project 365. You take one picture a day to document your normal everyday life. I've done it so far. It will be hard on days when I work and "nothing special" is going on. But that's the point. You get normal, everyday stuff down. It will be interesting to see what all I come up with to photograph.

I did run 3 miles at home Sunday with Smokey Bear. He's big enough now to keep up and he did well. Only got under my feet a few times. He went to vet today and weighs 35 pounds and is healthy. Boy, he did not like that at all!! He whined and even growled.

I had a scrapbooking weekend with a few friends and scrapped from 6 p.m. Friday night till 7 p.m. Saturday, staying up till 3 in the morning and I got 20 pages done. So I got a good start on my scrapping goals for 2009. It was fun even if it was short and only a few folks were able to attend. But since I don't have much room, that worked out well.

The guys went backpacking, left on the 1st and came back late Saturday night and it was a miserablel 80 something degrees. NOT what you want to backpack in. The same trip last year it was 4 degrees. Go Figure. That's Texas weather for you. You just never know.

This photo is from Sunday where we went walking in the woods at Lindsey Park. It was a high of

40 on that day so a bit chillier and the other is of Gary at work on 12/30/08
