Goodbye 2010 ... Hello 2011!

2010 was not a terrible year for me, but it was getting to be such towards the end ... though I've heard that from a lot of people lately. Nobody that I know is having and exceptionally good time right now, whether they be out of work, losing loved ones or just plain not having a good time in life, it seems to be a trend across the board.

Christmas was good this year. We set a budget, like most people have to this year, and I think got some really nice things. The cats particularly enjoyed this present:







I'm not making any promises, but I sure hope that I am more organized in 2011. We've only lived here for 2 years, so our house is definitely not full of clutter - plus with remodeling some rooms, every thing came out ... not everything went back in, so some culling was done at some points throughout the year. But we NEVER put anything back where it it supposed to go. We lost a tape measure ... really can't find it anywhere. We never put tools back, are constantly looking for the kitchen scissors - and typically find them wherever they were last used. So any time we want to do construction in the house ... or something simple like open a package ... it takes an extra 15-30 minutes to find the tool to do the job. Enough said ...

Here's to a much more productive and relaxed 2011!
