Let's start this week off right!

Yesterday before Church I had the fun of learning about this Candy store in Indiana http://www.schimpffs.com/index.html. I hope to someday visit their museum and store.  It was cool to see how they make their historical hard cinnamon candies.
Caught up on the 2nd season of "Justified".  Great ending but now anxious to see season 3.  Hope I can stream it on my laptop since Westbrook Cable doesn't provide FX!
Saw about 20 minutes of the movie Fast & the Furious (I think it was part 2). Not sure if the actors need lessons or the writers...it was kind of ridiculous to watch, thank goodness the guys all had hard bodies (as did the ladies in the movie).
Fell asleep watching golf (yes, some people do) but Congrats to Phil on winning the tournament.
Tuned into Fear Factor and I think they were filming again at the "Big Sky Ranch" in Simi Valley, CA where the "Little House on the Prairie" TV series was filmed.  Flipped back and forth between that and the GRAMMY's.  First time I watched the Grammy's and really enjoyed it.  I love music.  Whitney Houston's hits  have many connections to my life.  "Greatest Love of All" 7th grade Marching band trip where the whole bus sang her song as loud as we could or "I Will Always Love You" my husband and mine first movie together sitting in the 2nd row because the theater was packed.  Rest in Peace, dear Whitney!
Time to get ready and head to my wonderful job at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum! It is going to be a successful week!

Thursday & everyday

I have started to try to follow the daily Christ in Our Home booklet.  Today's title "Pride can be fatal". I also want to become better at organization (I have a ton of piles of papers that need to be filed).  Is there a class on how I should organize my piles of papers (history, ideas, biographies, etc).  Just thinking about this makes me stressed.  I look at the piles, shake my head and go back to something else.
Today is work on Walnut Grove area veterans' biography day to get them into an exhibit.  We have over 330 veterans to honor in this exhibit.
I misplaced a book I wanted to read before the next Leadership Class on 2/29 and misplaced the charger for my Galaxy Tab! Misplacing things reminds me of the wonderful Disney movie "Halloweentown" and the scene where all lost things go.
On to pick up my friend and head to work!  Have a wonderful and eventful day!  As a good friend re-quoted John Green last night "What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable."
BE REMARKABLE & EXTRAORDINARY!

Goals and what is it today again

Groundhog day passed (my favorite holiday next to Arbor Day) and the real PHIL saw his shadow.  I am OK with that because this winter has been remarkable and I hope that my weather friend BARB will have some insight for us soon.

Jersey GIANTS won the super bowl and they state 'world champions' but don't you have to compete internationally to be called that!  USA champs heck yeah, but...world no.  Congrats..but Buffalo will make their comeback.

Movies...I need to borrow the Help from my daughter when I am done listening to the 15 CD disk set of the book.  The audio is awesome (movie in my head)!  Watched the 'American' version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and it inspired me to continue with my passion of researching and also to get my 2nd tattoo (soon)!

Back to Goals....2/22 is the "Lent" season start for most Catholics bu since I have been attending a Lutheran Church for the past 10+ years..do they believe in the 'give up something for lent' thing?

Shout out to a friend "will the 22 days to make a new habit" trick really work?  I want to try it but....

Bedtime now and crossing my fingers I can avoid the snooze button tomorrow!
