Problems in the Workshop Santa?

Here's Brenna, clearly not impressed with the mall Santa. Jeff pointed something out to me that I hadn't noticed...do you see it?

Here let me help.

Santa is missing a finger! CREEPY!

But isn't my little Santa baby so cute?!?!

New Year's Resolution - I will not get frustrated with my computer.

I've been trying to post resolutions for several days now (I'm not slacking Haley - I promise!) but my posts keep disappearing, not being saved etc. The below post was after I tried FOUR times to post a picture of Brenna and Santa Claus and each time it disappeared. I was a little frustrated - and of course that post sticks!

I'm at work now - we're getting hit by a major snow storm. So as long as I make it home okay, I'm planning on writing up several posts and then I'll just have to post them each day.

I know I know, the addiction to the Mighty B is strong. Sorry for leaving ya'll hanging. :-)

I hate blogger.

New Year's Resolution #7

I'm going to be punctual.

I'm getting better - but I'm still normally late. I hate that. It makes others feel like I don't value their time and makes me look bad at work. I'm 7 days into the new year and so far so good...

New Year's Resolution #6

I will not watch the news. Much.

This one will be a challenge because I am a news junkie. In the mornings, I watch WNDU (Joel Schipper is my favorite!) and The Today Show. On my way to work I listen to Morning Edition on NPR. During work I check CNN.com. During breaks I read USA Today and the local news from my iPhone. On my way home I listen to more NPR.

I love knowing what's going on. Feeling like I have an informed view to base my opinions on. But let's face it - The news is DEPRESSING! And drowning myself in it all day just makes it easier to be sucked into that negativity. So I'm going on a news diet.

I will, however, watch Cars three times today. It seems Riley has become fond of an old favorite. Oh, Lightening - How we've missed you.

Ka-Chow!

New Year's Resolution #5

At least one random act of kindness a day.

I came across the most awesome website a few weeks ago and was inspired. I want to start posting about this movement every Monday - maybe once my resolutions run out. :-) This world would be a much better place if everyone was a little nicer.

Check out Every Monday Matters.

New Year's Resolution #4

I will keep my car clean.

Since the only passengers I ever really have in my car are strapped in the backseat, my passenger seat is used as my dumping ground. Then when someone does need to ride with me - it literally takes a tote bag or basket to get everything out. And I have no idea what I need to carry around so badly! So I will make a effort to keep it clean - and do a thorough cleaning every Friday while filling up with gas.
