30 Day Blog Challenge-Post #29
{Post: 317/365}
HOPES, DREAMS and PLANS for the next 365 days:
I am hoping beginning January 2012 to write a POEM a day for my 365 Words of the Day blog and continue writing and improving in each of my others.
I also HOPE to finish a book I've been working on and send it to a publisher. I PLAN on 2012 being MY year!
I plan to continue doing my best to follow my diets, get more exercise and otherwise continue to work hard keeping myself healthy and in upbeat positive spirits.
I hope to continue helping my friend answer Breaking Questions and believe that we are helping people solve or at least feel better about their issues.
I hope to continue working on my businesses and if not make a living at least sell what I have now to make other changes and choices in the coming year.
I just HOPE most for a better year than the last one and a little growth, change and more of the family and friendships that make my life...LIFE!

30 Day Blog Challenge-Post #28
{Post: 316/365}
THIS YEAR, IN GREAT DETAIL:
January- We began a new year with hope for a better one than last year. We had a rough winter for money and I had problems paying for medicine for awhile. However, we managed to get through it. We had a Triple Birthday Bash for Shawn, Mary and Nicky and it was a fun time! I also began blogging my 365 day blog.
February- I began working with my MUSE in his group Breaking Question of the Day in earnest and answering questions regularly. I also began to recognize the goddess inside myself and start writing and sharing my thoughts about that. This month marked Gib's 10th birthday and hubby, Gib and I had a lovely crab leg dinner for Valentine's Day!
March- I started writing more about being a QUEEN and also began planning a girl's weekend for all of us to enjoy which didn't end up working out.
April- This month I spent a week in bed from a cyst bursting and causing me four days of pain and kidney ache. It was the first time for this to happen. We also celebrated our 13th Anniversary on the 18th and went out for a nice dinner together as we do every year. :)
May- It was hubby's 40th birthday this month and we celebrated with our friends and family by going out for dinner at the hibachi table at Wabora and then getting together at our house afterwards. Everyone enjoyed their dinner and we had a fun party!
June- My daughter turned 21 this month and we enjoyed the beginning of summer with warm days and sunshine.
July- My son turned 22 this month and we began planning and preparing for our August Adult Camping trip we do every year. I started going to book club with the girls.
August- I made an appointment to get my newest tattoo in Sept. and started getting really excited for it! I turned 41 this month and I realized that being in my 40s feels really good. I like where I am and I like who I am. We went on our camping trip and for the most part had a great weekend. Some things happened over the course of the summer that came to a head at the end of the month and caused a BIG change in my life and in our group. I stand for MYSELF in the end and that is FINAL.
September- Hubby decided he was having his usual labour day party even though I decided I didn't want one. We did have it though and it was fine. LIFE goes ON!
October- This month marks our annual Halloween party and we had a good time. Hubby's sister even came for awhile and we enjoyed that! We've missed her being there every year since she moved away and it was awesome to have her be part of it again this year!
November- It is in the middle of the month now and I am trying to plan Christmas, make presents, plan our annual dinner party, soon think of decorations, get ready for winter with hats, boots, mittens etc. for the kid, and otherwise manage all the STRESS!! LOL
December- This will be full of snow, Christmas, family, friends, LOVE, and hopes, dreams and wishes for the next year to be bigger and better and full of beauty and JOY! :)

THIS MONTH, IN GREAT DETAIL:
Hmmm...well days and weeks run together to make a month that may include also visits to town for Dr. appointments, eye appointments, visits to the diabetic clinic, visits to the kidney care clinic, visits to the lab for bloodwork or other tests, days spent in town hanging out with my friend, going out for lunch, window shopping, sitting in the park, book club and any other extra activity that may come about for someone else's birthday or other celebration or just a random get together because someone decided they enjoy our company and wanted to hang out for an evening! :)
This month is only half way through but is mostly planning and preparation for Christmas which is NEXT MONTH! OMG!! I am making ornaments this year but I haven't even started yet so I'm beginning to feel pressured and stressed which is the NORM for this time of year! I won't settle down till I am finished all that I need to accomplish.
At the end of this month I will put up my Christmas tree and decorate and be ready to enjoy Christmas which is my favourite time of the year!!
All in all, my life is good. :)

YOUR WEEK, IN GREAT DETAIL:
My week in great detail is usually five days of the same stuff as discussed in my previous post and the weekend. Both hubby and the kid are home all weekend so the quiet things I do by myself are impossible with two boys in the house! Usually we will do any house or yard jobs that need doing on the weekends , go grocery shopping or other shopping and sometimes visit our parents. Also, weekends are reserved for any parties we may be having for birthdays, Halloween or Christmas and other occasions too. I love time with my friends and family and so really look forward to these things!

YOUR DAY, IN GREAT DETAIL:
Hmmmm, well there is never very much to tell about my day but, here we go...
I wake up around 7:30am every morning and take my meds, get my first coffee and make my son's lunch and get him organized and off to school. Then I may do a load of laundry or dishes in the dishwasher and make myself something to eat and sometimes have a second coffee. I may eat a cheese/croissant sandwich or an egg/english muffin sandwich. After I eat I will check facebook, play games, catch up on my blog posts, watch tv or a movie or an old episode of seaquest on Netflix. Sometimes my friend will call and I will talk to her for awhile.
By now, it is probably lunch time and I will try to find something to eat. Usually I have a sandwich, but sometimes leftovers or soup. After lunch pretty much more of the same though perhaps if I have done laundry then I will put it in the drier. In two hours it will be snack time at which time I will have an apple or other fruit, crackers and cheese or a package of pringle sticks or bits and bites. I don't really like most of the sweet things like granola bars so I opt for other kinds of snacks. Sometimes I will have a bath in the afternoon and relax before my son gets home from school. When he gets home he'll play xbox and I will figure out what I'm cooking for dinner.
When hubby gets home we'll have dinner and then we will spend the evening watching all our favourite shows on tv.
After that will be bedtime.That's pretty much a usual day in my world.

AN ART PIECE: (painting, drawing, sculpture etc.)
Artwork © 2011 Sara Burrier http://www.sarabillustration.com
Her artwork has been some of my fave since long ago when I started playing online with psp and making signatures out of it. She's always very generous with allowing her art to be used for such things and I will always appreciae the beauty she shares with us! Thank you Sara! :)

FANFIC:
(noun Informal. 1. fiction written by fans of a TV series, movie, etc., using existing characters and situations to develop new plots.)
Didn't know for sure what that was and I don't have any so I simply posted a definition and MAYBE will look into it!

A NON-FICTION BOOK:
The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, A Toltec Wisdom Book by Miguel Ruiz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this once a long time ago but, just read it again over the last year or so because I feel that if I could live by the agreements life would definitely be better. If we all lived by them the world would likely be a much better place.
READ IT!
