Don't forget to enter my giveaway!


I'm not one of those that's embarrassed about my age.  Each year I'm excited to be another year wiser....and believe me, each year I have much that I've learned.  This year, thanks to Jenny Meyerson at

  Learn With Jenny,

 I have made a list of 35 things I want to do by the time I'm 35.  I'm debating, even as I type this whether to post that list or not.  It might be embarrassing....it might point out that I haven't done certain things up to this point.  But, I'm real, if anything.  I'm 35 and I am not a size 12.  So here's my 35 things...

    So there you have it.  I'm two days into the new year and so far on task.  ;) My daily post are simple. Here's yesterday's:
    1/1/2012 Denver Broncos Lose to Kansas City Chiefs 7-3
    
    
    We spent much of the day with football going on in the background. Despite the Broncos loss, they will continue into the play-offs; it all depended on the Raiders losing their game, and they did. Whew!!!
    
    
    Now I need to find a fun way to display it.  Meaning, what type of formatting do I want to do?  Do I print the picture and hand-write the journaling?  Do I do two days to a page and print off?  I prefer a 3-D method so probably won't do it that way.  I figured if I at least get it on the computer, I won't get behind.  So what are some of your most do's?
