One SUPER-x!

It's New Year's eve...yep you guessed it, we are all re-evaluating our lives or a least taking a sneak peak.  Every New Year people take this opportunity to think about what they would like to have and not have in the New Year. What they would like their lives to look like in 2011. Here we go again, just thinking about how we want things to look.  What about how you would like the year to feel?

From the inside out!

Yesterday was a busy day.  We drove out to the valley to visit my family and when came home we began the process of taking our Christmas decorations down.  The result of all this excitement gave me 4 hours solid sleep last night, that doesn't happen very often so I feel 'almost' rested! LOL

As we began to remove the decorations...

Why do we wait?



the smiles that ice makers can bring LOL

 I wondered that today? Why do we wait until life gives you a butt kicking before you change things.  Change things to the way you think they should be, could be, must be.  Why do we wait...

'one' hot night!

Now get your thoughts out of the gutter, its not what you think! LOL

Yesterday I was feeling quite achy all day.  I thought I was dehydrated because when a person gets dehydrated one of the symptoms is an achy body.  But then my temperature started climbing...

One full body car restoration.

one tired doggie!

and they say woman can't do restorations.  Well I'm doing it! That is my own personal full body restoration from the inside out...

Wishing you 'All The Happiness You Can Handle'

Well it's Christmas Eve...did ya know that? LOL  Today is the day I start to put all the projects away I was working on and start anticipating getting together with all the kiddo's, big and small. 

I received a Christmas card from someone VERY special today that said 'All the happiness you can handle'...

Discovering the Bean Dip in myself.

Wow...what a fun start to Christmas Week.  Got to see both my girls on Sunday...

When life turns things up-side-down you hang things from the ceiling!

Well I wonder if I've finally gone over the edge? LOL. I was decorating my family room for Christmas and realized that there was a hook in the ceiling. hmmm, perhaps I can finally do an upside down Christmas tree! I've been wanting to try one for a couple years...

Good grief! Could I make 'one' thing any more complicated?

my new blog for my grandkids!

Yep...I'm still knead deep in breadmaking 101.  I am determined to understand everything before I try but really girl just start doing! Today I shall.  What's the reason I am making this soooo complicated for myself...

Think'n about 'one' lavender farm.

The last 24 hours have been wonderful. Energy is at 110%, brain at FULL capacity...

I wish for you 'one' grinny moment!

What is a 'grinny moment'? It's when you are smiling from the inside out and the way you know is that you just can't stop grinning.  The corners of your mouth are just slightly upturned but more than that your eyes have that smile.  Yep, your eyes...

We didn't do it alone!

Today I did what my Big brother suggested... just 'let it be'.  It felt great.  I began down the road of over analyzing my life and think'n just way too much!  That's the way things used to be.  But only when you feel glimpses of the past can you really appreciate the present. 

It's terrific when you have support around you that reminds you to practice what you preach... 

Can the 'old' be combined with the new?

Old what? you ask...old 'me'. I wondered today if it's time for some of my old habits to be combined with the new.  Those words scare me a little.  The old me was stressed, intense, obsessive, confused, and nervous to name a few.  But there were a few good things as well! LOL

Bigger is NOT necessarily better

Keeping it simple!

Today I awoke with a LOT of energy.  Well to some of you it would not be a lot, but to me it was.  I knew I had energy when I started a to-do list of tasks for the day.  One of the things on the list was to plant my flower bulbs.  Dudley was the happiest...

My name is Vicki and I love the life that is found in a mess!

Yep, I admit it.  It gets me excited when a see a pile of stuff in my house, it means 'life' exists here.  A moving, real, challenging and purposeful life. Right now in my house you will find...

It's a new strange...

I think the last couple days have just been strange.  How do I write about something I can't figure out...I don't know.  As drugs work their way through your system...

Change takes longer than 'one' imagines.

Changing a empty field into a
lavender garden.

They say in general that when you are making new habits and changes in your life that you need to do it for a continuous 21 days.  I used to believe that but now I would say it takes 2 to 3 months and lots...

One different Christmas wish list this year...

Yesterday's chemo went well.  It's funny how whatever you think its going to be, that is, easy or difficult usually its the opposite.  Last session went so easy and fast that we hardly prepared for this one, we almost walked out of the house without my pills...

No chemo tomorrow, its like taking away Christmas!

We were out doing some Santa shopp'n today when Ray's phone rang which means that there was a message on the phone at home. I checked the message and it was the chemo nurse letting me know that my chemo for tomorrow am had been cancelled due to Dr Le's orders and my next treatment will be Dec 22.

Dec 22, what?

You gotta laugh, really ya gotta!

Today was a busy day.  We spent a couple hours at the hospital getting my blood tests done and seeing my oncologist.  When we came home we decided it was time to have some fun and we did. 

Since everyone seems to be getting into the Christmas spirit, here are the results of our 'get crazy' time...I hope you enjoy singing it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

One the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...
