Each week, Hilary over at Feeling Beachie lists four statements with a blank for you to fill in on your own blogs. This week’s co-host is me - I came up with the last statement.

Hilary really needs co-hosts, so please email me some statements! She would LOVE it if you could please help her spread the word about this hop…. So, please tweet, FaceBook share, and add the linky to your post…
This week’s statements:
1. without fail, whenever I fly it's work related.
2. I used to be a lot braver about driving in cities.
3. When I crochet I get lost in the project and don't pay attention to anything else.
4. My greatest fear is losing touch with my kids.

Pondering With a Purpose

Thursday again! Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.

Her rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)

2. Look at the week's prompt

3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.

4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.

5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.

6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt:               Resolutions

I don't make resolutions. Why set myself up for failure? There's lots of things I could resolve to do but I've learned that it works much better for me to just plan a way to do something instead of resolving to do it. Plans can change, therefore if something happens to change my plans - I'll just come up with a new plan and not have to count myself a failure! What are some of the things I plan to do in the new year? Lets see.......

I definitely NEED to lose some weight.
I need to get to England and this is second only because the "plan" may put this in January of 2014.
I need to get my kitchen finished.
I want to get my teeth professionally whitened - too many years of being addicted to coffee I think.
I want to get my floors refinished.
I want to get the front porch redone.

I'm sure there are lots more but that's all I can think of right now. 
   

Chirstmas at My House

Since there isn't a hodgepodge this week, I thought I'd give you a wrap up of my Christmas with pictures.

 Let's start with the tree..the one I wasn't going to put up.... yes I caved.

 Then there was the get together with Biz's family - love the way the girls had to make faces.

 This is his daughter who just got home from Afghanistan.

 And then there was Christmas with my daughter and her hubs - and my next grandson!

She's easy to please - and easy to send into giggling fits.

 I got Biz a remote control helicopter - knowing that he would have hours of fun tormenting the cats with it.

 Which he did.

 I caught this last night - I think it was a battle for who got to lay on the fuzzy blanket.

 And there was this little guy - growing up so fast!

 He's definitely going to be a "ladies man"-just look at that grin.

 Daddy had to help a little.

Didn't want anything to do with Santa.

But it was ok if Mom and Dad were there!
