Happy Birthday to Sparkle and Brandy ...
Now, you have to realize that Sparkle and Brandy are two of their precious little children. Between Maddie and Taylor, they have about 15 or 20 Webkinz stuffed animals, and these two happen to have birthdays this month. Now, anyone who has children who have Webkinz know that they know each of their names, their birthdays, the things they like and dislike, what they like to eat, etc. etc... Taylor and her friends periodically let their Webkinz spend the night with each other. A few times, Taylor has come home with 3 or 4 new ones, just for the night. And 3 or 4 of her most precious kids has gone to spend the night at one of her friend's houses. Before the exchange, they make sure they have given detailed instructions to each other on how they like to sleep, covers over their heads or not, if they like the lights on, if they have a certain story they like read to them, or a certain bedtime song sung to them.
Considering how well they take care of their Webkinz, it didn't surprise me that they would plan something like this for their special day. I knocked on their door to have Taylor open the door, and there was a banner strung from the door to the wall. They had a little ribbon cutting ceremony before I entered. I walked in the room to find barbie cups on the little table in the corner, with crackers, and Sparkle and Brandy sitting on the table. There were little gifts for Sparkle and Brandy in barbie gift bags neatly lined up on the floor. They had a few little games planned --- and a raffle drawing to win prizes.
I have to say, it was quite cute. I hope my little girls don't grow up to quickly. I want to keep them just as they are!
I wonder who's birthday is next month.... Stay tuned!

My exciting life...

Goodbye 2008 --- Hello 2009...
I have to say I'm not going to miss 2008. But, I'm so looking forward to 2009. So I find it very easy to say 'Goodbye 2008' -----
I am very excited for 2009 for quite a few reasons, which I won't bore you with. Everyone has their personal New Years resolutions, and I am excited for mine. I really have a list of about 100 things, but here are just a few of the things that I WILL do (I won't say 'hope' because I hate that word, what does hope mean anyways? You hope you'll accomplish it, which means you'll 'try' --- I'm not going to just 'try' or 'hope' --- I WILL do these):
* Become a better "ME" --- be a bit more selfish when it comes to making time for myself, treating myself to more things I deserve..
* Not to worry about the little things, let things slide and enjoy everything a little more..
* Connect with old friends, and make time to enjoy those relationships
* Write in my journal
* Have a 'date' night with my husband once a week
* Excercise more --- take more time for myself
* Meditate more, relaxation
* Visit my son Rocky more in Arizona
* Have a blast with my kids--- do fun things..
* Take an incredible trip with my husband..
* Another incredible fun trip with husband & kids...
Sounds like a fun year huh?
Well, that's just a few of the things --- ok, this year is all about ME (is that too selfish?) That's fine, call it being selfish or a midlife crisis, whatever... I don't care. I think it's about dang time --- I deserve it!
