I'm counting down the hours until my holiday break begins because I have a cool idea for a project.  You see, ever since I was a little girl I've collected stickers.  Puffy, scratch-n-sniff, irridescent, laser...they all are like jewels to me and I tend to hoard them.  I still have my old sticker albums and flip through the 20+ year old pages, careful not to break the binding or lose any stickers.  Well, after covering a plastic shoe box with nearly every Hello Kitty sticker I own, it dawned on me:  I need a new sticker album.  So, once I receive my 7Gypsies Binderie Punch I will break out my chip board and create a fabulous scrapbook/sticker album.  I haven't been this excited since I purchased my first sticker album with my very own money!  You can bet I'll be posting pictures...

Yes, I took up the Slimming Baton again (no, there isn't really a baton, but I should make one) and have written down everything I've been eating.  Today as I ask the eternal question of "Do I want my anniversary meal to be a salad or spaghetti with garlic bread?" I really wish the Food Diary would mind its own business.  At least for today.  By the way, I think I'll be getting the pasta...maybe dessert too.  I have not picked up a pen other than to write out my to-do lists and Christmas cards and I'm okay with that.  Having failed at NaNo yet again, my brain is too fried to get back at the novel.  Mind you, I missed my goal by 13,000 so I did write quite a lot in November.  Next year's writing goals are set to paper and it looks like I'll be busy.  I can do it though, and if I don't, at least I tried.  Stay tuned to find out what those lofty goals are...
