Well, Looky Here!

Look what the cat dragged in.  LOL  Good golly it's been a while since I've updated this, no?  Well I don't really have time right now to get into all that has been going on in my life.  I mainly started this blog back up to keep track of the 2012 Crazy Cross Stitch Challenge I'm doing.  I'm in a Yahoo group called TheStitcherhood, run by my good friend Mary.  She came up with this CRRRAAZZZYYY challenge and I just had to run and sign up for it.  Basically, you pick 15 (or however many) projects and every day you work on a different one.  Today was the first day so I chose The Mighty Samurai to start. 

I stitched a good part of the day on it so I think I did pretty well.  Seeing as I haven't been stitching much this last year, it feels good to get back into it.  Anyway, here's the pic:

I can't wait to stitch on the next project.  It's pretty exciting working on different projects.  It's almost like a surprise every day.  LOL

Daniel and the boys and I went to his Dad's house for dinner tonight.  His step-mom and sister made us a delicious Japanese dinner.  Sushi, tempura, New Year's soup and rice and lots of other stuff that I didn't know the name of but it was all delicious!  The rest of the family was there too - all of Sharlet's kids and their families.  Always so loud and fun!  But I was certainly happy to escape the noise when we left.  LOL

I did make resolutions this year for the New Year.  Here's what I came up with:

1.  More family time - quality time with the kids mostly.
2.  Learn 12 new recipes (which goes hand-in-hand with:)
3.  Cook more healthy meals
4.  Make a conscious effort to eat less sugar and carbs.
5.  Lose 50 more lbs.
6.  More exercise (walking for now).
7. Have at least 8 cross-stitch finishes.
8.  More ME time!

I think that's a pretty decent list.  I look forward to this year and look forward to starting school in 8 days.  Also, Daniel and I will be celebrating our 3rd year on the 6th.  WooT!  We're going to dinner and a movie.  Going to see The Devil Inside.  Looks scary!  I can't wait...
Well, I think that's all for now.
Take care and remember to love one another.
Blessed Be!
