My family room is turning back into it's old self. I have half of the winter wonderland put away in plastic tubs. The ornaments have returned to their boxes and the plastic tree is back in storage. I am glad it's over and I think that I can return back to my normal routine of blogging, gym, baking and laundry. It's that time of the year of my reflections of 2012. In other words....what I did...
#1 Places that I have visited: New York City, Herndon, Monticello, Charlottesville, Savannah,
Charleston, Tybee Beach, Hilton Head, London, Gottingen, Brussels, Dublin, Kinsale, Cork, Norfolk,Williamsburg,Madison and Athens (both in Georgia)
#2 8 museums
#3 I have lost over 40 pounds
#4 Attended an Opera
#5 Took one creative writing course
#6 bought a fabulous red dress 4 sizes small, but never wore it
#7 have over 100,000 page views on my blog
#8 decided to start a you tube show which will start sometime next month
#9 drove by myself to Norfolk and back
#10 Spent the night alone in a hotel for 3 nights in quite possibly THE most dangerous part of Norfolk. I learned that the chances of being being shot in front of the Old Navy in Norfolk were not as high as being shot at the Macys.
#11 Made several fabulous recipes from Southern Living
#12 Found out that I had pre-diabetes (thank you genetics)
# 13 Found out that I have high cholesterol (thank you genetics)
#14 found out that just because you were friends long ago, people really do change, and not necessarily in a good way.
#15 I have met too many people that feel they need to offer "unsolicited advice" or just simply their opinions about everything from my trip to England to the way in which I parent my girls. What you might not know about me is...that I really don't care. My girls are doing GREAT in life and the trip to London is over....like, I am home now.

What happened to 6, 7, 8, ?
Dear Anonymous: Well, thank you for noticing 6,7,8. Actually, I don't know what happened to them. Did I happen to mention that I had to stop taking my adhd medication ? Do you know know me ? Have we conversed ? Because if you did know me and we had conversed...you would know that I can discuss a number of subjects in a 20 second period...and I have very poor math skills :)I filled them in with hooha because that is pretty much what flows out of my mouth...thank you again for mentioning my error..nobody else seems to notice. Did I mention that I had to stop taking my adhd medication ?
I know you and you know me :)
Gretchie....do you need circus cookies? I could send some.
