This holiday season hasn’t seemed much like christmas. Everyone I know is tight on money and worried about keeping a roof over their heads. Buying a lot of Christmas presents just isn’t the smartest thing to do these days. But then again, families need to do something for their kids. So in my family we gave amnesty to all the adults and said that we would just focus on the kids under 19 years old. That seems fair – Christmas is for kids, anyways.

So us adults are celebrating in a different way. We are doing nice things for each other and making a point of being cheerful and happy over the holidays.

I hope you enjoy your own Christmas and that Santa finds his way to your house OK.

Today a couple of my guy friends, borrowed a truck and came over and were kind enough to load the pick up full of junk that has managed to find it’s way into my drive way. It has been a while since I have been out there and done a major clean up.

My drive way looks so much better now and they promise to come back next week and do some raking for me, aren’t I the special one. No, really these are great guys and I’m lucky to have them as friends. What goes around comes around!

I am hoping that come next week, the price of gas will even be lower. It seems that almost every other day that we see the signs continuing to shout much lower prices. There are a lot of people planning on driving to Grandmother’s house come Christmas Day and the price of gas has made a lot of people think twice about driving the distances that are required each and every holiday.

We are all holding our breaths waiting to see if the day ever comes that the number one will be taken off of these billboards all together and gasoline priced fairly for under the $1 mark.

So far I have three things on my list that I want to work on come the New Year.  Loose 15 pounds, stop smoking and start walking. Sounds like a good plan to me, I just hope that I will be able to accomplish at least one of the three. Any of these would be a step in the right direction for my health and now that I’m not a kid anymore (by any means) I feel the time has come to start focusing on getting myself on the right track.

Wish me luck, the New Year is coming in less than 3 weeks, ugh.
