I made it to 2 posts!!

This must be a record or something...I made it to a second post!!  I'm sitting in my comfy leather chair with my "Snuggie".  You may laugh at me, but don't knock it till you try it.  Whoever thought a blanket with sleeves could be so awesome!  Plus it's an A&M one (thanks Mom and Dad).

Well, I started (and completed) a new project over the weekend.  Let me introduce you to what I call "Ellen Art".

I know that it's not on the wall where it is going (above the couch), but it turned out a lot better than what I thought I could do.  I got the idea from watching too much HGTV one weekend.  It was a lot cheaper than buying someone else's and a lot easier to match colors.  It was easy enough, maybe I'll try it again.

On another subject, I'm watching "The Bachelor" right now and I officially am adding South Africa to my "Bucket List" as somewhere I want to go.  An African Safari sounds like so much fun.

Tomorrow will get close to 50 degrees!  So I don't have the excuse this week to put off running.  I start with my 1.5 mile run tomorrow.  Boomer is going too.  Mom says he's looking "rotund".  :)

Here We Go Again...

Ok, so I'm going to try this again.  I started a blog with one post (go figure) and I have now forgotten the email address and the blog name.  Ha!!  So, the whole point of this thing is a new year's resolution to keep some sort of journal of my life events as I embark on my new life in Iowa.

Well, let's see...A whole lot has happened since 1/1/11.  I've survived my first blizzard - which included black ice, my mom and dad have made a visit, the snow finally melted, and now it's back again!  Oh, and we can't forget about my senior moment last Friday when I accidently left my wallet on my kitchen counter and couldn't get on my flight to College Station.  I had to be an hour from the airport (on a 3 hour drive) before I figured that out.

So, I went into a ditch...

I had angels watching out for me that day.  God protected me from that telephone pole and from rolling over - which should have happened considering the angle and steepness of the ditch I went in.

Until next time...
