Another Christmas Gone, A New Year Is Almost Begun

Hey all! Sorry for not writing for so long, it's been a bit mad here this week. I hope that everyone had a fantastic Christmas. I had a wonderful one, and what made it so special was that I had my first White Christmas. I couldn't believe that the snow/ice lasted in my yard until today (two days shy of being a whole week). I have been listening to one of my Christmas presents all week. My sister bought me the new Josh Groban album. This is a must have in your music collection. Go out and get it.

As I tried to think of what some of my New Year's Resolutions could be, I had to start counting my blessings. Have any of you seen Rodger's and Hammerstein's "White Christmas"? If so, do you remember Bing Crosby's character singing the "Blessings" song to Rosemary Clooney's character? That song has taken on new meaning in my life this year. Those of you who are close to me know why. We have so much to be thankful for, there are always people out in the world worse off than you. As you enter this new year, think of all your blessings and be thankful for all that you are blessed with.

2 More Days Until Christmas

Hey all! I know its been a week since I was last on, sorry about that. Getting ready for Christmas and working on some freelance projects has been keeping me busy the last week. There is a major reason I like getting all my Christmas shopping done before November...Traffic! My sister and I went in town the other night for her to pick up a few last minute items. Traffic was insane. How come one of the most festive and joyous times of the year creates such rudeness and disdain in the hearts and actions of men? I feel sorry for these people, because letting that into their hearts and actions robs Christmas from not only them but others. My Christmas Wish is that these people remember the true meaning of Christmas and the season. To borrow an analogy from a movie I saw on GMC, "Remember, Christmas starts with a 'Capital C.'"

Off to finish baking cookies with my mother. Talk to y'all soon!!!

10 Days Until Christmas

Hey all! The Christmas season is in full swing. This weekend we had flurries and then started sticking and now today it is suppose to start sleeting and having wintry mix. Looking forward to it and hope that it stacks up.

Monday, my dad and I went and bought several vinyl records for just pennies. Having a blast listening to them, so much better than just plain CDs or MP3s. Vinyl is back! I noticed when browsing through all the albums, that there were albums by artists of today. Did a little research and found out that artists of today are starting to record on vinyl again because of the sound quality.

Get out your old turn tables or browse the yard sales and find a turn table. Break out your LPs that are in the garage or attic and enjoy.

18 More Days Until Christmas!

Hey all! I thought I would share with you what I am listening to in my car right now. It is Christmas time now, and so its time to breakout all your Christmas CDs/MP3. I have many favorite Christmas CDs from over the years. My first CD ever was a Christmas CD that I received as when I was six-years-old. However, one of my new favorite Christmas CDs happens to be one that I purchased last year, Andrea Bocelli "My Christmas". Several of the songs literally take my breath away. If there is a Christmas CD that you should have in your collection, this would be in the top picks for my list. Enjoy!

Talk to yall soon!
