Sharing

a couple of Lexie's layouts.

I always look forward to a 3 day weekend where no plans are made. I was able to sit back, relax and scrapbook today. I created a few layouts but these 2 are my favorite.

Journaling reads: Lexie is always excited to visit the vet. Her normal visits includes a check-up and shots.

For this layout I did not include any journaling the title explains it all.

I look forward to spending more productive time in my scrapbook room and create more fun layouts.

Today Last Year

Luis and I enjoyed Celine Dion's Taking Chances Tour here in Dallas.

Needless to say, I purchased tickets in March '08. I would like to say I was the first in line but sadly, I wasn't. As much as I wanted to take the day off, stay home and run around the house due to my excitement, I didn't. When the time came to go and sit back to enjoy the beautiful sound of her voice, I was ready.

Prior to leaving the house for the concert, Lexie had a little excitement of her own. She managed to tear up a brand new pee pad. I wonder if she thought it was unfair not to let her go.

The day was not quite as beautiful and sunny, it was rather cold, wet and frosty. While I parked and waited for Luis to get out of the office, I snapped a picture of this frosty tree. It had rained throughout the day so every branch was perfectly coated with icicles.

We grabbed a quick dinner at Mi Cocina, but seriously who could eat when they are a couple of hours away from listening and watching Celine Dion perform? Me! Here we are waiting at our seats at the American Airlines Center. I was filled with excitement!

Finally, after an hour of Gordie Brown opening up for her, it was time, drum roll pls....

I was in awe when the show was over. Celine's performance was absolutely amazing! I can sit through it for another 2.5 hrs if I could. Her next stop was Houston and I remember asking Luis if we could go. After seeing her performance in Vegas, then Dallas, he was not all gung ho about travelling 4 hrs to see her perform again. The opportunity to go and watch her by myself  was up for grabs but I didn't grab it. Rather, I chose to order her Las Vegas: A New Day dvd.

I am sure to get in line again if she stops here, but until then, I have her dvd and cd's to get me through.

Adios 2009.....Hellooo 2010

A new year a fresh start. 
Each year I make a list of goals in hopes of accomplishing it before midnight strikes on December 31, most of the time I come to find out, I fall short.  Why does this happen? Simple - laziness, impatient, lack of time, no accountability, no motivation, feels better to do the opposite. So this year I plan to commit. I know it will be a challenge but I'm willing to put in the effort to make it happen. My goals don't change but each year more gets added.  Here I go with:

My top 10 goals for 2010:
1. Eat healthy
2. Excercise 5 times a week to loose 10lbs
3. Project 365
4. Spend time with my family
5. Minimal fried foods - Vietnamese eggrolls only
6. Curve my spending habits
7. Save for a rainy day
8. Use my time wisely
9. Scrapbook a layout a day
10. E-Blog

I also have a bonus goal but it can't be revealed.

I am so excited and can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for our family. Wishing you and all your loved ones much happiness, love, blessing and joy this year.
