It's been a tough month - not financially, but personally. Both DH & I make more $$$ than ever. But people around us are hurting. Our oldest (nephew) has been out of work for a year, just recently sold his house and is moving to Vegas on Monday. Why Vegas? Who knows. My sil and her husband are going thru a rocky spell, one that doesn't look like they are going to make it. Several people that we both know have past away this month - in their 50's!
Emotionally this has been a H%$&@...

Why do I feel like a lazy bum today? Mostly because you really can't do anything on a holiday especially on the friday of the holiday weekend. I did exercise today-I read my 4 chapters today. Had my first no spend day of the year!!! Yoo-hoo

Son leaves tomorrow - back to his Naval life. God help me, there is an unexplain peace in the absence of your children! LOL It's the truth. I love them, I miss them greatly, but it's alot of work and disruption to my quiet life when...

Doesn't everyone get pensive this time of year? I do lots of thinking and wanting to do lots of changes for the new year, but being realistic what can't we do that any day of the year?? As my hubby says it's just another day!

I resolve to track the spending I do on a daily basis.
To count the steps I do - to increase them and make it a habit by March '10.
To make my goal wt by my 50th birthday this year - November '10 A 50 pound wt loss!!!!

Today was a little cool when I got up. I did turn down the heat this morning, but when I got home tonight after work it was cold! Winter has finally hit the midwest!

But... no snow. Yeah.

Up until today I still had onions in the garden. I did put lots of leaves by them so hopefully I can get a few more days out of them.

The gals at the office were talking this am about their "purchases" this past weekend and they about dropped their jaws when I told them I didn't spend a dime this weekend!!!

DH & I spent every moment together and we loved it. I giggle every time I think about the time we spend together, because we just generally enjoy each others company and don't need to be "doing" anything. Life's simple pleasures.
