Spiral

So.. I've been on a downward spiral of bad habits on top of bad habits! It typically starts with bad news, aka someone is sick or dying or has died. Or it is something unexpected that throws my game outta whack. I need desperately to gain back some sort of upward momentum! With that being said, I am going to be trying harder to get myself together on challenges & activities. I have a decent start, just need to figure out how to follow-through!

I take my blood pressure meds every morning, I managed to develop that as a good habit. Why is it so hard to get the rest going?! Anyway, I hope to have more to post tomorrow on what I'd like to do & maybe I can get a group of us together working towards similar goals! My attitude has sucked lately & that changes now. I have to be better about being better!

Anyone with me?! Here's to making a positive change!

Valentine's Day TOEs Project!

I just wanted to thank you girls again for participating! If you haven't already opened your package please feel free to do so. I'm so thankful that you all have participated in the events and I just want to remind you that you never need feel pressured to join something you don't want to, or can't do.

It's all in fun, I am so glad we've been able to do what we have so far. I am hoping to post some new ideas for group projects and or mailing fun. Maybe some new challenges as well. I will be updating the List Yourself Lists so if you are enjoying those, look for that coming up soon. Also, feel free to share any ideas you have for projects and or challenges. We've gotten great ideas from members, so please share we can all enjoy the fun of your ideas too.

Secret Santa Success!

So, I know it was a little rough this go-round. We all had some stuff going on. Mailing issues and what have you.. but after checking everything out and seeing how people have reacted to all their goodies.. I think we can call our official A.S.S. a grand success!

I think we all had a blast with it, the shopping will get easier, the mailing will become easier. Maybe we've all learned little things, like sending from Canada into the States is a lot of trouble, perhaps Amazon is the way to go! LOL Also, shipping from the States to Canada was less of an issue, but having to write out every single item that was in the box, estimate it's value, estimate it's weight, use multiple forms to get it all listed.. I mean and on and on! LOL.. it was all good fun though. I am glad we all got to have that spark of excitement when we got the mail.

I don't know about you girls, but I had a blast! I am wondering if doing a simple themed Card exchange would be fun? Your thoughts? Maybe on a NON-holiday time dealie.. we can figure out some other type of exchange. COOKIES! lol Or.. Candy! LOL.. whatever.. I know that's sorta crazy, but it's just a thought. Anyway, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how this all went. Perhaps what you learned or what you'd do differently next time.

Thank you girls for giving me something to look forward to this season, I don't typically enjoy this time of the year, so this has been truly wonderful for me. Thank you all so much! Love you all!

Happiness Jar!

So, I was skimming around online as I typically do when I can't sleep. I was thinking of some of the projects we've discussed & I never finished my Happiness Jar. I did the chores I needed to get done, so I got to reward myself with buying a simple, inexpensive jar.

Having said that... I ran across this..

Reusing Condiment Jars

I have saved several small jars & I KNEW I had a cause/reason for that.. Now all I need is to sand down the tops of the jars I saved & adhere some sort of knobs onto the top & I have some really cute lil jars! Just thought I'd share.. Mine is underway!

Please don't forget to vote!

Ok ladies, you've got a little time left, please cast your vote for names on the right hand side. I know some of you already have,thanks! This is for those of you that haven't had the chance yet!

Additionally, I will be going back to FB and getting Lisa's instructions on A.S.S. and posting them here to make finding them easier. As the group tends to participate and it can become difficult to locate information.

If you've any ideas please let me know!
