Getting There

So nothing really new going on around here, other than my new addiction for Mafia Wars on Facebook...lol I only joined b/c my friend asked me to, to help him out and well somehow I was sucked in. =]

Looking forward to the Bachelor tonight! I simply adore, Jillian, Stephanie, and Melissa. I probably won't watch it till tomorrow though, I like watching it online. So today, after I go to sleep and get up again, will watch True Beauty, Private Practice, and Grey's Anatomy from last week. Pajamas and snuggling with my kitties sounds like a purrrfect way to spend the day!

Was a little bummed about the Superbowl, but what an AMAZING game. I played euchre with my family, helped my mom figure out what to do with her during her "growing it out" stage...had some chili, wings, chips...yeah stocked up on all that healthy stuff.

However stuck with my no pop resolution! I can proudly say I made it through the first month of the year, eating NO fast food and drinking NO pop! Yay! I also did pretty good with my quiet time resolution of having quiet time at least four times a week...there was a week I think I only did it 3 times, but I've made up index cards now with people's names on them and then on the back what I want to pray for them for. It's really great, b/c whenever I pass by the stack I just grab one and start praying for them, either while I'm chilling on the couch or while cleaning, whatever I'm doing. It's really helped me with talking to God more, like I'm used to, getting back in the swing of things after a dry season, and boy is it REFRESHING! I wanted to read one book a month and I finished Captivating early in the month...been having a hard time finding another one, so that will be my challenge of the month. =] I also wanted to memorize at least one scripture a month and I did that! 1 Peter 1:22 "Now that you have purified yourself, by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brother, love one another deeply, from the heart." So all in all a good start to the year I think!
