Glorious Friday

I didn't think this week would end.  I forgot how the week after a very short work week goes on forever.  Today, for me, is going sooooo sllloooowwwww.  But it's been a great week with my being productive for work, getting the rest of the holiday shopping almost wrapped up and I'm even taking note of one of the things I read on one of these blogs somewhere about a green wallet.  I'm on the hunt but didn't find one today.

Next Saturday I turn 33.  I'm so giddy.  All my life, for whatever reason, I've been looking forward to this year (subconcously probably has to do with Larry Bird, #33, because I'm that into basketball that it seeps into everything).  I know this is going to be my year and it's already heading in the right direction.  I'm very excited about writing down my intentions for the year.  About setting the intentions and then working toward them.   About achieving these intentions.  This will be my year.

On Tuesday Hubby took me out and bought me my birthday gift - a Nikon d80.  Over three days I've taken a ton of photos and I spent many hours last night combing through and getting rid of the bad ones.  I compiled some of the good ones and remembered that Picassa isn't just for my computer anymore but that I could post my photos and share them with family and friends online. Tada. http://picasaweb.google.com/mandysound

And once again the www makes my life easier and more fun.  Except I was reminded earlier today that I spend a lot of time on the computer when my toddler yelled, upon seeing our mail carrier, "the email is here, Mummy.  I hope there is email for me!"

  • I find it interesting that you call them "intentions" instead of what most call them, "resolutions." I kinda like that idea of moving away from the word that has come to mean plans that frequently never come to fruition. Then again, the saying doesn't go, "The road to Hell is paved with good resolutions." heehee.... ;-) - Paula. (P.S. You must be beside yourself with glee over the mighty Celts' record so far this year! Now, if only more of it can rub off on the Bruins...)

  • "The email is here."

    "No, sweetie, when the mailman brings it? That's called 'snail mail'."

    I hope your upcoming year is every bit as terrific as you expect it to be -- and then some!

  • First of all! Your daughter is friggen ADORABLE and funny! I wonder how many mail carriers worry about job security with the increasing use of the internet.

    Second, I love what you said about writing down your intentions. I haven't done that for awhile. New Years is coming! Maybe I'll do it then. Thanks for the reminder! :)

    Cheers to Friday!
