Another Day With Hank

1/7/2011

Oh you just gotta love this silly dog. I'm not sure why though! Check this out - Hank decided he wanted some Christmas candy. Ok, let's start with the whole story. I got up at about 7:30 and fed Hank and let him outside to go potty. I went upstairs and started my cleaning. I was vacuuming and cleaning and making noise so I didn't hear anything unusual going on downstairs. At about 10:30 or so I went downstairs and I must have just walked in on Hanks latest adventure. He hadn't eaten too many of the cinnamon bears but he had managed to take the entire 1 1/2 lb bag off the counter in the kitchen, take it to the family room and start munching. Check out the center picture with the yellow arrow. Hank even took the twist tie off of the bag! Figure that one out! He also ate the box of green marshmallow Christmas Tree peeps that Wayne got in his sock for Christmas. Of course Hank must not have liked those so he either spit them out or threw them up on the family room carpet A nice sticky, surgary mess that you just gotta love. I'll have to admit it was quite festive with the red and the green. Seriously Hank? And that my friends is what happens when you have a dog that has a garbage gut. He's quite talented and it appears he even has taste. We know he prefers fresh bread over day old. Now we know he likes cinnamon bears over peeps!

Happy New Year 2012

Hard to believe it's 2012!
Every year as a little girl I remember sitting down on New Years Day writing my resolutions even as a very young kid. I wish I had kept those old resolutions. Wouldn't they be fun to read now!  I won't be publishing my 2012 resolutions so don't get excited but I will say that I think that I am more honest with myself and I know that I am much more realistic.

My wants are much less than when I was younger. I wanted nothing more than the love of my family. I want to use my time more wisely so that I have time to spend with my adorable grandkids. I want to make special and lasting memories with each one of them. I want to deepen my relationship with my Savior through more sincere and consistent scripture study and prayer.

How quickly the past 20 years have passed and if the next 20 years pass even half this quickly I can feel my time running out. I have so much I want to accomplish and although I don't know how much time I'll be given to accomplish these tasks, I figure if I want to enjoy the journey I should continue plugging along at my bucket list. I should also make certain I have all the right things on my bucket list! That's what my 2012 will be about - making certain I have the things that really matter on my bucket list and that I haven't filled my list with just play.
