Here are the things I wanted to accomplish in 2009. Let's see how I did. Not so good I'm afraid. Ha! This year we have a better set up I do believe.
1. I want to have meetings set up in JANUARY with BS and BB Garrett really fell off the boat on this one and it wasn't one I was interested in doing myself. So, I don't take full responsibility for it. We have decided to take a different approach and I think that it make work out better in 2010!
2. I want to have 500 songs (I currently have 113) on my ipod in FEBRUARY (I'll have had it one year) This one is FAIL! I have 164 songs now. Dang it. I think on Friday's Show Us your life post I will request everyone's favorite song and dl them!
3. Send in at least one of my Secrets to postsecret by MARCH The secret I was sure I needed to send it I didn't At some point it became a not secret any more. So, I need to think of a new one.
4. I want to be at my goal weight by APRIL I'm pretty sure April was when I quit WW and at this point I am not even close to my goal weight. Dang it.
5. Have at least 100 (2009) blog posts in MAY I was only at 78 :( but I did make it to 196 in 2009 and I think that is pretty good.
6. I want to have read Walden by JUNE This goal is about to be forgotten I have been trying to get that damn book read for YEARS!!
7. I want to go really really blonde by JULY (maybe) Success! I believe I started going blonde in March? But, I was for sure really blonde by July! woo hoo!
8. Have all of the starting and back up Sooners numbers and positions memorized in AUGUST To stay on top I would have had to have the fouth and fifth string guys memorized. I didn't do it :(
9. Attend at least 1 away game in SEPTEMBER We went to no away games this year. boo!
10. I want to run a 5k in OCTOBER Instead of running in 2009 I stopped running in 2009. Dang it!
11.Visit Natalie's (are you kidding? when did she get so old?) dorm room by NOVEMBER Nope, but I did visit FSU in the summer and saw where she was going to be living. I hope this counts a little.
12. Send Christmas cards in DECEMBER (I was really thinking hard about putting turn 27...) Decebmer I was swamped. Do you think it would be okay if I went ahead and bought some on sale Christmas cards and got them by say February? I could write in them in December but go ahead and get them all addressed and stamped? I think I might just do that!
Okay well I didn't do very well on my 2009 "goals" but, I think I'm doing a decent job on my list. And I've thought long and hard about this years and I will for sure try to do a bit better in 2010!

the busiest 8 days ever.
In my head this post has pictures.
In reality I am just too exhausted to sort/upload them.
It has been one crazy week.
Let's review. Shall we?
12/21- After about 3 hours of sleep I woke up at the crack of dawn drove to the airport to pick up Christie (yay!) We spent all day shopping and lunching and chatting and enjoying each other. It was heavenly! Meanwhile Natalie and Nathan were arriving in the 405.
12/22- Woke up entirely too early after not enough sleep and drove back Oklahoma to work a full day. Went home had a chili party with family saw Natalie and Nathan (yay!) and had to make a cake for Garrett's birthday. Stayed up WAY too late trying to finish the three layer cake complete with fondant.
12/23- Worked a full day. Headed down to Norman for Garrett's Birthday (yay!) dinner, and to his parentals house for celebrating. Long-late day.
12/24-Woke up to find the snow and bad roads. Was told we shouldn't risk the drive back to Grammy's wanted desperately to see Natalie and Nathan. Just couldn't make it. I was pretty upset most of the day. Made a Risky move to head to the mall. Didn't die. barely.
12/25-Decided we needed to try and get food. We had none. After hours of digging out the cars there was hope. I was going to try and head home! Got stuck in the snow, and rescued by Garrett and his Dad (yay!) Finally made it home. Exhausted.
12/26-Family Christmas finally happens! Everyone made it safe. Jack couldn't stay :( But, overall it was a sucess.
12/27-N&N were going crazy stuck in the house. My car was stuck on ice patch. The three Florida kids totally got it out! We went to the mall for a tiny bit of shopping and Sherlock Holmes. Jeffrey went too. After that I gave N&N their Christmas presents. And headed on the road to Tulsa, got there and hugged Scott (yay!)
12/28-Scott and I shopped all day long (he only shops when I'm around so once maybe twice a year) We lunched. And then dinnered with Brad, Jenny, and Kylah after dinner we played some cards. I won of coures. And then headed to QT (yay!) and to Scott's house to clean out some stuff in his childhood room. fun! Stayed up way too late soaking up some good Scott time. N&N headed back to FL (boo!)
12/29-Got up at the crack of dawn and headed to work. For a full day.
Garrett says I have horrible Dark Eye Circles and said "you look like your forty" grrreat. I've been working really hard at work trying to be able to take tomorrow off but there is just no such luck. I hope to get out of their early. To be able to watch my Sooners get a much wanted/needed win! After that I may be ringing in 2010 sleeping. Ha!
I well update more about each event when I get the pictures ready. I had a really great time seeing everyone. I just wish I could have had more time with them. It's too bad I had to fit four of my favorite people in the entire world into 8 days, along with work, and as Garrett said his regular needed quality time. ha!

still snowed in
Road conditions are still very bad here, they are suggesting no one travel, there are abandoned and wrecked cars in the middle of the highway.
Clay, Brooke, and all drove 12.5 hours yesterday to try to get here for Christmas and ended up back in Texas at home. They never even made it to Norman, from Ft. Worth.
Soon, I'll update with pictures, but for now I'll keep documenting (mostly for myself to remember, the craziest Christmas ever!)
Garrett cooked the one food item we had with the plastic top on it. So, I believe we will be eating a ton of birthday cake until we can get out!
ha!
