on my list of 101 things. I've completed # 50, 101 things that bring me joy. Seen Here. The list could be longer and it most likely will be changing, but for now it is complete. Check one item off the list. # 97. I have Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance on Scrib'd on my celphone and have started reading it. I've completed some steps on the other things, but not enough to mention here. I'll post on those when I'm closer to completing them. Got to choose my Pinterest item for this month, I don't have much time to complete it. Not sure what to do, maybe make a recipe. I need to try some of the vegetarian recipes I've pinned.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas, but there doesn't seem to be enough time and energy to get everything done I want to do. I'm starting to miss my son and Mom and Dad more than usual. It doesn't get any easier with time either, in fact I think it's getting harder. Christmas was my Mom's favorite holiday and she LOVED decorating the house for it. I just don't know....(shaking head)
Well, off to get things ready for work tomorrow. I'm manager on duty so that means I go in and stay later. Still, I don't like to wait til the morning of, to get things ready.
Keep on keeping on

Once again......
101 Things in 100 days. I haven't thought about my list in quite some time. The time will end for this list sometime in November, so I need to really get to work doing some of the things on my list. I already know I'm going to have to edit it again. Some things I just am no longer physically capable of doing, due to continuing issues with my back. But, I'll do what I can manage to get done in the little time I have left.
I subscribed to Scribd. It's like Netflix for books. I've found several books that was on my wish list on Amazon so, for 8.99 a month I'm thinking in the long run it will be a little cheaper that buying the books. I can use it on my phone too.
And speaking of phones, I got a Galaxy S5 a few weeks ago. I really like it. It's taken me a while to get used to it. I've had an iphone since 2009 and LOVED it. I just wish the screen was a bit bigger. Maybe next year when I upgrade Apple will have taken Samsung's lead and made the iphone bigger. Of course, by then I might not want to switch! LOL
I can't begin to express how stressful the past five months at work have been at the nursing home I work at. I mean, to the point my blood pressure has been up and I have had chest pains. Fortunately, we have a new administrator and he is taking care of business. A new DON and almost all the nurses are newly hired, along with quite a few CNAs. I no longer dread getting up and going to work in the mornings.
So, I'm off to get things ready for work tomorrow, check on my 101 Things list and peruse Scribd some more.

First post
of 2014. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. I hope to get back to blogging regularly this year. No resolutions. I have a few goals I'd like to achieve. More on them later.
Every blogger and their brother/sister is blogging about: Radiant Orchid (Pantone 2014 Color of the Year)
I personally love this color. It is one of my favorites. I'll definitely be making clothes and accessories from fabrics in this beautiful color! In fact I like all of the colors for this year. I would use sand, freesia and celosia orange as accent pieces, or maybe on the lower part of my body. Browns, yellows and oranges aren't my most flattering shades. I need to re-haul my entire wardrobe this year, especially since I've lost almost 50 pounds on Weight Watchers.
