Monday WLS Express
Good morning, my TMB family! Please allow me to take this opportunity to wish each of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR, as I never got online, at all, yesterday. I'm trying to make Sundays my "low tech day"-you notice I didn't say "NO tech"-I'm afraid to set myself up for failure-but I'm trying to turn our household make into making Sundays back into the Sundays of my youth-a Sabbath/family/day of rest. I have to be the one to set the example-and I can't do that, if I'm sitting on the flat part of my butt, in the recliner, in front of the TV, with a laptop, on my legs. SO....if you send me a message, and I don't immediately respond, you'll know why..and I WILL get back with you!
I'm off today..it's 04:00..and I've been up for an hour, watching the rerun of Oprah, with Steven Tyler..go figure..gives me lots of time to catch up from by "no tech" yesterday!!!
Other than my "low tech" Sundays, I'm not making New Year's Resolutions. I figure if it's something I'm not willing to do already (esp relating to food/exercise/etc), then a date on the calendar isn't going to make a difference--or it never has in the past 50+ years, anyway!!
I hope everyone's new year started off however you WANTED it to, and that the year brings you all the GOOD and RICHES each of you deserve. Getting to be here, with y'all, means more than I could possibly convey..in words..before coffee....
Have a great Monday!!!

We Can Do Hard Things
Have not made any resolutions for the New Year. I don't smoke or drink any more, and have not for years, so nothing to quit in that department. I don't need to lose any weight so the big three are out. What's a guy to do? Some plastic surgery maybe?
While today is still a holiday for the majority of folks it is not for me. Anticipate a "heavy" traffic day with all the folks headed home from grandma's house. That's fine as long as "stupid is" and "stupid does" literally don't run into each other or do something to draw my attention. To wit: DWHUA! (Driving While Head Up A$$)
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
Well it's 2nd day of 2012!!!! Only housework for me today!!!
Hope everyone has a great day!!!!
Blessings,
Nina
Don't say anything unkind, untrue, or unnecessary.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith ...
it is the price of love.

We had a quite New Years Eve ( I was up till after midnight cooking ). I had my family for lunch yesterday and my MIL came over also. It was a success but I truly didn't eat it after cooking it. UGH I was sick of smelling it. LOL I need to deep clean my house. I am looking forward to my hubby going back to work tonight. He has been off work for almost 2 weeks. UGH He takes over everything when HE is off. Not too happy about all that. LOL My MIL came over with a HUGE bag of clothes yesterday. She cleaned out HER closet and thought I might want some of her clothers. LOL Really.....like I want to wear 80's clothes with shoulder pads. LOL They will go to the Goodwill today. I took a couple of things out of the bag and they are SO outdated. LOL I know of no one who would want to wear them. Anyway everyone have a great day today. Make sure to make good choices.....take your vitamins....and drink lots of water and exercise or walk. Let's all make 2012 a AMAZING year !!!! Have a great day.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

I'm back at work today. It will be a busy week: tomorrow is an all-day retreat for work. Then I fly to Los Angeles on Thursday for a couple of days of meetings with my dissertation chair. I fly home on Saturday so it's a very quick trip. Thank goodness.
I'm awaiting feedback on Chapters 1, 2, & 3 of my dissertation. Hopefully my chair will feel good about what I've written and with a few edits be ready to share the material with the rest of my committee. It's looking like I'll do the actual research (qualitative interviews) in the Fall. I'd have preferred to do the interviews this Spring but it doesn't seem to be headed that direction.
Here is hoping for everyone a great day!
Last day off, I sure have enjoyed the time off and I am NOT looking forward to working tomorrow, Today agenda is packing up the few Christmas decorations, a couple of loads of laundry and visiting Dad. He should be getting out soon but will need to go home with my sister as he still has an open wound and they don't want him changing or empty is ostomy bag his self.
Hope every one as a great day!

I hope you all had a great New Years weekend. I'm back at work today. It was so hard to get up this morning and leave my comfy bed with my husband still sleeping. Not a lot planned today just the gym today after work.
I'll keep it short today since I spent so much time reading and catching up.
Have a great day!
