Hi Ann:
Just noticed you posted on the December thread. A Happy New Year to you and yours. Hope to see you on the threads again, and hope you are doing well.

Bless:
Thanks.

Happy New Year everyone!

We managed to stay out at our friends' till midnight, and it was a good evening. I made my mushroom lasagna and chopped nearly a kilo of mushrooms plus the celery, pepper and onion. I had doubled the recipe, and then it was too much for the 13 x 9 pan, but I filled it fairly well and then of course it dripped onto the oven floor. Guess who hadn't put the usual piece of foil down there? So JDI for today or tomorrow will be clean up oven (and the selfclean still hasn't been fixed!)

This afternoon we are invited out again at 2pm, so I can forget the oven for a while. : )

Good old Scarlet O'hara - "I'll think about it tomorrow"!

Happy New Year everyone, hope everyone has a great 2012!

Today's JDI list:
-laundry
-try to get a package ready for the mail
-pack (starting traveling tomorrow and Tuesday)
-clean out my wallet and purse
-pick up my room a bit
-visiting with family

Nice to see you Dianaro, Being born in 1939 I am blown away when I see 2012. So much has happened on this little blue ball just in my lifetime. The changes I can remember thinking as Science Fiction are now fact . Too numerous to mention but just look at what we are doing right now.Talking to each other even while miles apart. Lets hope we can get together on how to steward this beautiful planet and try to be kind to all the creatures on it. Once again wishes for a compassionate New Year. Ann39

Ann,
I agree much has changed in life. So good to hear from you.
Hoping you and family are all okay.

I am popping in here, after such a long time missing in action (not the bold italicizing, which means, I indeed have been terribly active ! :-) ) simply to wish you all, my dear friends from GON and the Motivation Boards, a Happy Healthy Organized Year 2012!

From the bottom of my heart, I want to tell you that even if I don't post here, I keep you all dear in my mind and spirit, and it is a helpful thought.

May 2012 give us joys, health and strength, and may we all have a good year!

See you soon (I hope, this is certainly part of my resolutions, but you know how resolutions go, uh? )

It's so lovely to see so many of our friends posting here!

A late afternoon nap has derailed today's schedule, but the nap was much needed.

YOU definitely deserve a nap or two with all that has been going on in your life for the past couple of months (since Oct,, right?). Hopefully you can relax before returning to work. Company is gone and the house is all clean and looking brand new! ENJOY!
