The One With Fifty Shades of Grey

Before I tell you what I think of them, what do you think of 50 Shades of Grey? Horrible? Wonderful? Wish there were more? Wish you'd never heard of them? Do you think there will be a movie made based on them? Do you hate them? I just read the first one and have formed my own opinion, but I'm curious to hear other thoughts.

The One With My Music

I recently found out that a whole bunch of the music that I put on Itunes mysteriously disappeared. Like, more than half, at least 3000 songs or more. I have no idea how or when this happened, but I have spent the last few nights (and will spend quite a few more) re-uploading all of our CD's back onto my computer. The worst part is there is no rhyme or reason. It's not like I'm missing entire albums, just a few or most of the songs, never all of them. WTF, Itunes? At least everything I've paid for is safe.

The best part is going through all of our seriously eclectic music collection. Oh, and remembering that I know every.single.word to "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel. It's a classic.

The One With Some Goals

I can't believe it's 2012 already.....where the heck did 2011 go? I can't believe I will be 31 in a few short months. WOW.

I am attempting to set a few (loose) goals for 2012.

1.) Read 52 books.
2.) Make 50 scrapbook pages.
3.) Make 15 knitted projects.
4.) Take one *big* trip this year (VA, hopefully) and one *smaller* trip (WI or up north camping, perhaps).
5.) Keep up my healthier lifestyle.
6.) NO purchasing new yarn or scrapbook supplies for (atleast) the first 6 months of the year.
7.) Declutter & get rid of some junk/clothes/stuff.

Have you set any goals or resolutions for the New Year? If so, what? I'd love to hear!

The One With a Happy Saturday!

Happy Saturday!

Things that are making me happy today:

1.) Attending my first craft fair of the year with my mom in LaCrosse this week.

2.) SNOW! The first couple snows of the season are always my favorite. So fresh, clean & white. After Christmas, I'm over it, but right now it's magical.

3.) Spending Thanksgiving with my boyfriend's sweet family (all 50+ of them).

4.) My sister returns to the US in 27 days. (Who says I am counting?)

5.) Buying the last 2 Harry Potter movies on DVD so we can have an EPIC marathon next week.

6.) Hot apple cider.

7.) The Packers are 9-0! (They beat the heck out of the Vikings last week. Dad would be so proud.)

8.) Pinterest.

The One With a Happy Saturday!

Things that are making me happy today:

1.) This book.

2.) The gorgeous trees in my area. It may still feel like 80 degrees, (EW) but atleast the trees are changing colors.

3.) Next week, the boyfriend and I are taking a couple of days to go and visit several State Parks close to us. One of the things on my bucket list is to visit all of the State Parks in MN, so this is a Big Deal.

4.) Honeycrisp apples. YUM.

5.) The Sing Off. One of our absolute favorite shows. We wait all year for it to start up again and this year it's going for 3 whole months instead of just 6 weeks. Yay! If you haven't seen it, you MUST. So much talent, it's ridiculous.

6.) I have been smoke-free for over a year now! SO proud of myself. :)

7.) Knitting this.

8.) Super cute banner class I'm taking on Monday at VIP Scrapbook.
