I'm joining Emmy Mom and her gang of friends to recap the last three months and to have five
OCTOBER
I discovered that I'd accidentally been stalking an Italian Flag Thrower.
I heckled a Democrat.
*October was a sad month here in Denver....there aren't very many happy posts*
NOVEMBER
We went on a whirl wind Florida vacation!
It was a Thanksgiving we'll never forget! FRANKENTURKEY!
DECEMBER
I was a rockstar....for one night.
I added TOOTH FAIRY to my Linked In resume.
I was a cake judge at a Chocolate Festival.
I took my daughter to The Nutcracker for the first time.
The guy in front of me in line at Target was having a 50 Shades Christmas.
My husband got the sweetest gift from our son.
Connie's Five Goals for 2013
- Finally lose 20 pounds and not find it again. (I've hired a health coach.)
- Complete at least 20 items on my Foodie Bucket List.
- Read 40 books.
- Knit something I can wear without being embarrassed.
- Teach my kids to tie their shoes.
And now an announcement!! I will be blogging The Bachelor: Sean complete with drinking game. I will also be
Your amazing December totally made up for October :)
ReplyDeleteI've loved reading your recaps. Isn't it fun to see where you've been and what you've done?
Read 40 books? Yauzers. Read 4 books would be my goal. I love reading, but clearly not enough to find time to do it or else I would have read more this year. That's a good goal. Maybe I'll steal this from you :)
Lol, that 50 shades Christmas was awesome. The 20 items on your Foodie list sounds like a really fun goal! And my secret to reading tons of books in a year? The potty. That's right-you know it, I know it. It's the best place to get some reading done. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love when you heckled the dumocrat.
ReplyDeleteIs it really time for The Bachelor again?!? Man, time is flying.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to read your 40 books! You've got some pretty high aspirations, my friend!
It's been a great year re-cap!
ReplyDeleteAmen to losing 20 and not finding them again. Dieting is too dang hard to keep losing the same weight. I still need to read the book I won from you. I need to get my husband his own Kindle. He has stolen mine and I've resorted to watching bad television. :)
OMG I died laughing about Frankenturkey! Not a good thing to do at work... I mean at home... that's my story and I'm sticking to it! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you had such a fun December, hopefully it makes up for October.
ReplyDeleteI bet it was a ton of fun being a cake judge!! Now that's my kind of job :D
Great goals, good luck with them!
Hope you have a wonderful New Year!!
I can't wait to see all of your knitting creations. I wish I knew how to knit. I can crochet, but not knit. Might need to add that to my to do list! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your goals! and I did not roll my eyes for fear that they would get stuck that way...
ReplyDelete40 books!? Shaka lacka! I love the heckling.. I need to lose weight too- its an every day, every month, every year kind of goal that I totally suck at.
ReplyDeletemaybe you can knit shoes for your children that don't need to be tied?
ReplyDeleteyou always have a great outlook and beautiful joyful anticipation of the days to come!
Happy New Year to you Connie! I have a feeling there are goals you will reach that you are not even yet aware of!!

(ps...my husband lost 60 pounds with the book The 17 Day Diet and Bob Harpers workout DVD. He has struggled his whole life with his weight and he has been able to change and maintain his entire lifestyle to a reasonable goal. And for what it is worth...I think you happen to look pretty perfect and awesome just the way you are. Skinny is over rated.)
Oh I need to teach my kids to tie their shoes also! Lucas is in second grade and doesn't know- but other than his soccer kleets all his shoes are strap- even his Sunday shoes! I am adding that as a goal too. Plus I am going to shoot for reading 12 books this year- one a month is all I should do if I don't want to neglect my family too much as I totally get lost in books!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you recapped with us, thanks again :)
great goals and i LOVE your foodie bucket list!! (p.s. i lived in korea and i think you should eat bulgogi instead of bibimbap!)
