Good Intentions

I got to have a fabulous New Year's with my best cousin and on the long drive home I did a lot of thinking about a really cool blog post, and then of course, I get home and real life happens and before I know it, it's a week later and I've forgotten everything I wanted to say.

I know that I was going to say that my Adele cd made excellent travelling music. That I am always in awe that when I'm driving through NE Texas my heart and soul feel content. I don't know what it is about that area that just puts me at peace. I was going to talk about how my oldest went to Phoenix at the last minute to see the Fiesta Bowl and how my stomach was in knots worried about him the entire time, it was his first big road trip without Mom or Dad.

Right now I'm just glad I survived the last week at work. We were extremely busy and very short handed with one gal still out for surgery leave (she returns tomorrow yippee), one gal took some vacation time, and one gal had to be out due to the sudden death of her Mom. My heart still hurts for her.

Sewing........quilting...........not much of that happening lately. Had great intentions today but did some household drudgery instead. Shredded a big mass of crud. Scrubbed the 1/2 bath. Just general stuff that keeps getting put off.

Do you make New Year's resolutions? I seldom do because I break them in a couple of days. I was joking at work the last week or so of last year about how my resolution was to NOT be nice anymore. I deal with difficult customers on a daily basis and I was sick and tired of trying to be nice to them. I said I was starting early so maybe it would set in before the actual New Year. Of course I've broken it several times, but if they are nice to me, I'm nice right back, but call or come in with an attitude and you're liable to get one right back. The only other thing is I told my husband today after shredding so much stuff that has just sat around is we need to start taking care of mail and stuff the day it arrives. If it's trash, trash it, if it's something that needs shredding, shred it, bills pay them. I always let paper get the best of me. How do you handle it all and keep it organized?
