Not Quite Into Routine!

We definitely were not into any type of routine today. Hubby was watching scattered bowl games and we did catch the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Day Concert on PBS.

We sent out an e-mail greeting card with the same theme, so that was kind of fun.

Thank you notes have been sent - we try to be good about that!

We still need to sit down to look at the Christmas cards we received from folks we did not have a proper address for and send them little notes.

We ate very badly today which is not good for starting the new year, is it? We did have a good breakfast, but kinda snacked from there. Hmmm . . .

Now, I did get all my stuff together for marathon cropping (scrapbooking) tomorrow and Hubby has it in the car. He is so efficient! He will be taking down the outdoor decorations tomorrow. He says it's easy. Easy for him - he's an Engineer!

We are lucky, we do not have to be anywhere tomorrow, so we can use the weekend to finish off the little details to get the new year in gear. I do have my daily calendar book in order. I have my potluck ready for cropping. I have my outfit set out for tomorrow. We always set out clothes out the night before - it makes life so much easier! Hope you do that too!

Trust you noticed that the Waterford Crystal Ball pictured below from last night's Time's Square Drop was called the Angel of Joy ball! Hmmm. . . sounds familiar to us because that is also the name of our church.

Let us all pull ourselves together, spending less, planning more and counting down to the new administration who just might have some goodies for us in a few months!

Could any of you use a bailout? Well, how 'bout a tax break (Two months' reprieve was suggested by our very own Louie Gohmert!) How 'bout a larger incentive program than we had last year?

Let us all pray that finances will recover and we will see more plus days on the Dow. Let us pray for the wisdom, guidance and good health of Barack Obama and his team!

Let us pray for a better year in 2009!
