2010 Olympic Games

So I'm watching the Olympics and loving it!!  (is that my excuse for not writing for the last two months?) The part I like best is the crazy little athlete spots they broadcast giving you history on the individual contestant.  It seems I cry every time.  Emotion is just part of me and whomever wins the event it seems I take pride in that country and family and person.  My heart aches for the fall and I can hardly watch the next person compete, for fear of the same disappointment.  I haven't been to Vancouver in years but it looks like an awesome city to explore!  Especially now.  What energy and excitement!

I must be in a no blogging but crafty giving mood because I saw this also from How About Orange and think it is such a swell idea.  They are gift bags made from envelopes!  Or better yet....just buy bags.  However I have a zillion envelopes randomly floating around the house with no card to match.  And when you're in a pinch for something cute to give somebody something in, it could just be this. 

Check out instructions here.

I didn't see the original post of how to make magazine bow from How About Orange but I have now. It's a fun way to make and customize the perfect gift.

2010

Yes it is 2010 and that means I have been thinking about New Year' Resolutions.  I always write them, and they are almost always the same each and every year.  Geez, that doesn't sound very good at all.  I must not be conquering my inner demons.   My first one is of course is the one that is bugging me the most.  That magical number has creeped up and my jeans don't quite look right.  I was within 2 pounds of my goal weight and then voile....I ate a cookie and another and another and am back up on my weight.  So first goal for 2010.......

Lose 10 pounds!

....and having  a goal without knowing how to get there is useless so I need to outline how to do it. 

1.  exercise - it makes me feel good and I can eat more without feeling guilty.  Plan for the first triathlon of the year. 
2.  plan meals in advance
3.  no eating alone or on the phone ( I can chow pretty darn fast without consciousness of thought)
4.  cut down on the calories - its truly as simple as that!

I also want to do this by March 1st.  It should be a very easy goal to reach.  Then spring time can be about vanity pounds and nothing to really stress about.  Of course I want to lose the first five this week because it should be easy right.  I'm sure I'll let you know how it went.

Happy New Year Folks....We'll see where this year takes us.
