I hEaRt Fig Newtons!

I love Fig Newtons. Maybe its because my Papa Wooten always had Fig Newtons when I was a little girl and was always ready to share with me when I visited. (We also took several walks down to the little store on the square for moon pies and RC cola!)

Or maybe I love them because my dear husband told me that wasps lay their eggs in Figs and so that when I eat figs or Fig Newtons that I'm eating wasp eggs. Why would this entice me to love? I dunno, but its a little creepy, right? And it doesn't gross me out at all. And, amazingly, it doesn't gross my hubby out either and he can't even pull hair out of drain without gagging. (tehehe) But, I digress!

The point of this post is that I found these this weekend:

{nope not a 12 pak...I swiped this photo from Amazon}

These are awesome! And eating two of them on a drag-butt morning at work is an awesome pick me up. And they're 100% whole grain...that's got to be better for you than the original! Right?

We had a Wedding!

Two and a half years ago my SIL, Julie, met Tobias. Online. On a dare from my other SIL, Melissa.

Tobias is from Nigeria. He lived in Spain when they "met." Julie visited him in Spain for the first time in November 2007. And about a year ago they became engaged.

On Monday, December 28, 2009, Tobias came to the United States.

And on Friday, January 15, 2010 - Julie and Tobias were married at First Christian Church with a small gathering of family and friends.

Wishing you an Eternity of Love.

Now...

I need some more nieces and nephews.

Please?

So.Not.Organized.

If there is one thing about myself that I despise, it is my lack of organizational and time management skills. Seriously, I'd give my teeth to have a natural knack for organization. From my spice rack to my closet to my craft room ~ everything is in disarray and some of it is just downright cluttered. Part of the problem is that I want an immediate fix! Wish I could channel some genie powers. I'd be twitching my nose all over the place! But, alas, I'm just the regular garden variety gal without nose twitching abilities - SO.... I've come up with another plan.

Research!

I'm scouring the internet, the library and picking the brains of my friends for organizational tips. I'm hoping if I get the organization down that time management will just fall into place.

So, if you happen to read this blog entry, please leave a comment with an organizational tip for me. Nothing is too menial...trust me....

Puppy Love

Most of the time Rainer doesn't want Patch too close. And he lets him know with a little growl or a scuffle across the living room. But sometimes Rainer lets his guard down, relaxes and cuddles in with his friend. And those moments are PRICELESS!

Look Who's 4!

Our nephew, Sam, turned the B-I-G 4 on December 28, 2009. We celebrated on Jan. 1 with lunch at Red Lobster, cupcakes and presents!

Look at those eyes! You just want to squeeze him don't you? And lucky me...I get to!!!

Happy 2010!!

We rang in the New Year with my Virgil's {famous} steak sandwiches, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Wii Sports, Sparkling Cider and confetti poppers!

[As far as resolutions go, I'm not so great at keeping them when I get specific. However, these two things are on my heart: 1)Serve Others and 2) Be a better me!]

May you each be blessed in the New Year!
