Last day of 2011

I am feeling optomistic & positive about the new year ahead. The past 2 months have kicked us in the teeth, so it can only get better right?

Other than the afore mentioned past 2 months, 2011 was pretty uneventful and went by pretty quickly.

I truely think 2012 is the year for changes, for the better that is.

I'm not going to make New Years' resolutions or anything, but aim to do better in all I do.

Wishing all my friends & family alike, a wonderful, healthy, happy, joyous New Year!

Happy 2011 Everyone!

Ah it is a fresh new year - brand spanking new! Not spoiled at all. Like a blank page just waiting to be written on. Have I ever mentioned my love of new stationary? No? well I love new journals, blank paper and brand new pens. Kinda like the first day of a new year - unblemished.

What will 2011 bring? Who knows? Of course I still have a goal of losing some weight - any amount of weight would be good. Another goal of getting back to work (since I didn't win the Lotto Max last night). I'd also like to become more active, I think I am starting to grow roots.

Since we had Christmas dinner at friends', I am cooking a turkey with all the fixins today. I will eat leftovers tomorrow (and then I am sick of turkey), and Monday I start my diet. DH & the kid can eat turkey leftovers the rest of the week.

We rang in the new year with the same friends we spent Christmas dinner with - it is nice to be able to drink and then just walk the 2 blocks home.

I hope all my friends (real & online), family and all my hundreds (ya I can dream) of blog readers have their best year yet - I hope all your dreams and goals come true for you in 2011!

Wishing you all prosperity, good health, happiness & joy for the coming year!

Grungy Gretchen Flip-Thru

This is a flip-through of a recently completed journal of mine. I call it GG (grungy Gretchen), it is so far from my usual style but I enjoy...
