This must have been the longest week ever! I can’t wait for Friday night. I don’t have any big party plans yet, but I need a party this weekend! Who’s up for hanging out Friday night? Let’s go do something fun!

I’m thinking that someone needs to put together a Easter Egg Hunt for adults, with eggs stuffed with money and coupons and other items that people would love to have as well as some of the traditional candies.

They both had the luck to be born on February 29th which of course is known as Leap Year. This year I actually found that the Hallmark Stores carry a Leap Year birthday card, but only one mind you. And of course with my luck I got there too late, all sold out.

Now that I know that Hallmark makes such a card I will make sure to get there nice and early and actually be able to send them a real store bought (and Hallmark no doubt) birthday card for the first time. I always end up just shooting them an email or give them a call, now a days we have Facebook which is way cool.

It hasn’t been too awfully bad so far. I’ve been told that the first 3 weeks are the worst so I have a ways to go, but it’s looking good at this point. Been chewing a lot of gum and have ruined a few pencils from biting on them. LOL

But this year I am diving in, head first, with the promise of putting down the smoking of cigarettes that I have been participating in for way too long. The price of tobacco products has just gotten crazy and I’m tired of paying the high prices for something that is totally unhealthy for me. Wish me luck!

Our plans include a short visit with family Christmas morning and then an afternoon at home cooking a nice Christmas dinner and baking some cookies. I have been baking cookies every few days for the past couple of weeks and they never last more than one night! So my vision of having a big plates of assorted cookies on Christmas is just not going to happen. But I will have some kind of cookies on a plate tonight – and then I will have to stop baking for a couple of months while we all go on diets to lose these extra 10 pounds we have gained since Thanksgiving!

I can’t wait for the end of November to get here so I can finally say “Goodbye and Good Riddance” to anything to do with Verizon once and for all. I have heard that there are several websites that you can do comparison shopping with numerous cell phone providers and their plans and their phones that they have to offer and I plan on spending some time here real soon looking for them and seeing if they can help me find the best deal possible for my wants and needs.

I love the way America celebrates her birthday with fireworks. I wish that would become an America tradition for everyone to celebrate their birthday. But so many places have outlawed fireworks, that would never work. At least there are still some places where you celebrate birthdays with fireworks, even if it is only America’s birthday.

I can’t wait to watch the show and see which of my favorite movies and actors win the Oscars tonight. I have great hopes for the Social Network, but also the Kings Speech. I would love to see Annette Bening win, too. Oh, this will be an interesting night!
