For Ellen, yes, that Ellen, seriously

So I love the show Ellen. I DVR it every day. :) She never, and I mean never fails to bring several smiles to my face as well as causes me to laugh out loud. I depend on her, I count on her and I am happy to rely on her. This week I realized I had to talk to her... so here is the video I made for her.


Wow! cannot begin to tell you how nervous I was making that video. And now I will wonder... will she ever see it.... I wonder how many messages she gets a day. Great now I will wonder that too.

What is up lately...

We now have all 4 Christmas trees done and the majority of the Christmas boxes up in the storage loft. So very very close to being completely de-Christmassed. LOL

The kitten and puppy (can I call her that since she is not yet 1 yr old?) are doing fairly well together. They wrestle quite energetically. I mean really, with body slams and everything. She is quite tiny compared to our massive (LOL) dog. Hey! our dog is massive compared to kitty!

Feels very very weird to not be looking forward to going to Florida in March. We are not taking any trips this year and it feels so strange. I think I am happy / excited to not have to dig out suitcases. But when my BFF texted me today the dates she will be in Florida, I must say I had some momentary regrets.

Hoping my hubby called Judy today! :)

New Beginnings

how do you feel about the New Year each year? do you find yourself setting tons of goals? I find my mind swims quite a bit there in January each year. I also feel I get a Holiday Hangover. Sort of that icky feeling from having some candy, large meals and burning the candle on both ends.

In the fall, in early October, I had some people come in and help me purge and organize our home. We really made some great changes and a lot of stuff left our house. (you would not know it to visit LOL) and now with Christmas over, we have stuff again... Not the same amount but some of the gifts we got sort of replaced some stuff that we had purged. I purged a Santa cookie jar and lo and behold we got one. I purged a chocolate fondue set and lo and behold.... I gave me such a feeling of release and lightness to have less stuff to take care of and organize and it is amazing how heavy you can feel having to now find a place for it all over again.

at work, we started a healthy lifestyle / weight loss challenge. I signed up for it. I have not begun to participate as of yet. I cannot say quite why. I am in sort of a funk I guess. I need to give myself a talking to ??? or maybe kick myself in the butt?

I always loved blogging so I hope to get back into that too.

Several people have told me you cannot wish people a Happy New Year after a certain date. But I defy them and say Happy 2010 to all of you!
