On the ball!!

This year i am going to be organized, i am going to be on the ball, i am going to simplify my life. Or at least i am going to try. In the past around this time of year i think to myself that i should get a family picture taken and order Christmas cards. I should start picking up a few gifts here and there. I should buy a card for my brother in law who's birthday is in early November but usually does not get a card till the end of November.

I am going to try and do better.

1. I already have the family picture taken

2. I am working on getting the picture made into a card.

3. I am going shopping in two weeks where i hope to buy a few Christmas gifts and get Jackson b-day gifts bought.

4. Still need to buy the birthday card for my brother in law...but i am going to try REALLY hard to get it to him by his birthday!!

I will have to write a blog in December and let you know if i managed to get any of these actually done.

Here are a few pictures taken at falls park on Labor day weekend. The one of the family is going to be our Christmas photo...i think. I just need to order the photo cards because then i can't change my mind.

Learning to Crochet

Awhile back i thought it would be fun to learn how to crochet, i needed something to do in my spare time. HAHA....i have no spare time, but in the event that i ever do, i thought it would be a nice hobby to have.

I may have a learning disability or something because crocheting might not be the hobby for me, i am rather awful at it. Last night while trying to make a pot holder (i have been working on this for almost 3 weeks and no where NEAR done) i was having some trouble, seemed to have a big mess and was about to give up. Brian is sitting next to me, looks at it, takes it from me and proceeds to crochet my pot holder. So after only a few minutes of watching me, even HE knows how to crochet better then i do!!

He told me not to tell anyone, but crocheting can be manly right?
