So, it's been a while......

Okay, so it's been a while...... Lot's of happenings, but I'm still standing & breathing in and out all day long! Here's a 5o Things List of 2008 for me:

1. I'm so proud of the American voters to have elected Obama for President.

2. I'm thankful that I'm still employed, still have a decent benefits package, and that I really do enjoy my job.

3. My SIL beat colon cancer this year! She's cancer free after a nasty two year battle; and with God's grace she will continue to remain healthy for a long, long time.

4. I got to go to Alaska for two weeks this past summer. It was one of the BEST trips I've ever taken!

5. I think I may finally be over my craving for bacon - I've only wanted it daily for several months now!!!!!

6. I still love my new digital camera that I got this summer; still striving to improve my photography, practice makes perfect (or so it is said.)

7. This past week I went to the movies and saw "Australia" - loved it! Need to own it as soon as the DVD is released, epic action and was entertained the whole way through. Hugh Jackman was a total bonus!

8. Turned the BIG 50 this past spring.... not as bad as when I hit 35; so I'm good with it.... not that there's really any option.

9. Finished only 8 bed sized quilts this past year... haven't done any actual quilting for months and months now..... I'm having withdrawals; will have to fire up Lizzie and get busy soon.

10. I've been organizing again.... still trying to get the sewing room and fabrics under control along with my scrapbooking, stamping, and jewelry making 'stuff' (I could be my own craft store!) So, I still have hope in my heart. Now that I'm an old bat I've given up on losing significant pounds, but I still think I can get myself and more importantly my 'stuff' organized.

Having just typed the last few lines I'll have to amend this list to 10 Things.... I'm laughing so hard it is too difficult to type. Hopefully it won't be a year or more before I post again!
