Listening to the Les Miserables soundtrack (for the 672nd time) and drinking the last egg nog of the season I decide that I will write a little something.  I have had a wonderful holiday season and I hope that you can say the same.  Every year that passes reminds be a bit more of what a charmed life I lead...no kids, lots of travel, good friends.  Not that kids are a bad thing by any means but I certainly couldn't do what I do if I had them.  My New Years resolution is simple this year.  Enjoy it.  Every little thing about life.  Enjoy it. 

To that end, here are a few of the things I am enjoying so far in 2013.

1. My mad organization skills...I have organized 3 closets and multiple drawers and cabinets so far and its only the 8th :-)!

2. Learning to sew.  My best friend got me a sewing machine for Christmas.  I don't know how to sew at all.  Nada.  Not even a button!

3. The books of Ken Follett.  If you haven't read him, do it now.  They are marvelously well written with superior historical accuracy.

4. The Les Miserables soundtrack. Seriously, its that good.

5. Saying what I mean/think/believe more.  I tend to take the passive aggressive route in life which usually ends with me feeling like a meanie pants.  So I am trying to just say whats on my mind.  Within reason of course. 

6. Using some of the principles of the Dave Ramsey program to save more/spend less.  Much of what he teaches is good common sense.  But we all need a little reminder from time to time.  So now is a good time to go to TJ Maxx...I won't have been there to get all the good stuff :)

So far I am having fun with all of these things. 

My closing thought...go see Les Miserables if you haven't already.  Best movie I've seen in probably 5 years. And I'm a Twilight fan!

Cheers!
