It feels like things are starting off great. The weather here has been delightful for the past 3 days. Springlike. It makes me feel like everything is fresh and new.
I have been getting birthday cards in order for 2010. Its a big ordeal for me to remember everyone's birthday, and I always forget a few people and feel like a jerk. We have 11 siblings between us, and 9 sibling-in-laws, 6 parents, 4 grandparents, 9 nieces and 4 nephews. All of these people qualify for a birthday card in my book. So last week, I went and got birthday cards for everyone, and a small pack of pretty blank cards to use for the anniversaries.
I bought small gifts for the nieces and nephews and got the shipping supplies together for the gifts. I'm on top of it eh?!
Then today while I was fetching the last of the shipping supplies I picked up new sharpies and pens, which I desperately needed. And while I was there I found a pink file cabinet. AND when I got home my new kitchen rugs had arrived. Its like everything is coming together and making life feel fresh and new.
I have a basket that I keep cards and letters and pictures I receive in the mail throughout the year. I LOVE real mail! I emptied the basket the other day. Everything from last year went into a labeled Ziploc. One day when I'm dead I'm sure someone will go through those bags and say, "What the hell, did she keep every piece of crap that come in this place?!"
Along with all of this new year organizational fun, I've finally got my Juki humming. I've started quilting the Filmstrip Quilt, and I finished 3 blocks of the sampler. The Doves in the window block was a real pain in my rear. And I'm avoiding Forrest Path because it looks just as bad. But I like the way they all look.
