January 2012


¡Hola! Thought I would drop a note in the blog :-)

A new year with new things already happening!!

My daughter got engaged on her birthday, what a gift for a 21 year old. I am so very excited for her and her fiancé! Of course, this means that I will soon be a single empty-nester which makes this exciting event a little bitter-sweet. However, her excitement is contagious and we are having fun ;-)

Other news of the day, I did it – I bought a Vitamix! I have been contemplating this for a couple of years now and took the leap. This morning was my first use and I made fruit smoothies for my daughter and I. Yummy!!

Tax return is completed and filed ~ probably the last year I will get money back since I was able to claim my daughter as a dependent since she is a full-time student living with me. Nice to have that done for the year; just in time for a little home improvement this spring AND the start of a wedding fund for this summer’s event.
