A New Year

I am usually not one to make New Years Resolutions and keep them but I feel that this year is different. I tried to keep my goals realistic and simple to help myself accomplish them.
1. Fit and Fitness- Do something active for 60 min each day.
2. Stay on a budget-No more frivolous spending. I am going to manage my monthly spending in hopes of seeing my savings account grow.
3. Learn a new word every day- More on this later.

Fall
This Fall was not nearly long enough. I did get some good pictures of the leaves changing. Bra, Dad and I went for a drive before she left, it was beautiful! My favorite feeling in the world is being in the mountains on a fall day.

To My Sunday Ang

So Angela and I are the Sunday Crew here at work. We LOVE working Sundays. It is so relaxed and slow. It gives up ample time to get caught up on work and to get ahead for the week. Not to mention it is quiet with exception of the new agents on the phone that like to peak their heads over the cubical and talk to us. We just keep our ear phones in and pretend that we can't hear them... the eventually sit down.
So my Sunday Ang is so sweet. She is not the normal work week Ang. On Sundays she has not a care in the world... she just spends the whole day giggling and finding stuff on blogs that she wants to make in her spare time (which she has none of).
Angela's husband (whom I met today for the first time today) brings her pancakes every Sunday morning after he drops her off at work. So nice right... and to make it better, Ang doesn't eat eggs and her pancakes come with eggs so she gives them to me with her biscuit! So essentially every Sunday Charles (Ang's hubby) is bringing me Breakfast too!
You are too Good to me Angela VanShaar. FYI- I might be making Kim work my Sunday Next week...This is the last time.. I promise.
