Hi Friends, how are you?  I’ve been busy working, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and unburying myself from this pile of mail and packages that is just part of what I received while I was in Aruba for most of December.

From my last post about my 2011 Intentions, I am glad you enjoyed what I shared and it was nice to hear your intentions, too. 

And thanks for letting me know that although subtle, you like the word choice of intention or goal, over the word resolution, for all the reasons I explained.  Here’s to setting those 2011 Intentions!

Moving on to 4 Things.  

I’ve seen Janetha, Caitlin, Jessica, and Ashley post theirs and I am posting my answers to the 4 Things Quiz:

1. Four TV shows that I watch:
E! and Bravo TV rule my world

The Real Housewives (all except DC, I couldn’t really get into those ladies)
The Millionaire Matchmaker

2. Four things that I’m passionate about:
Yoga
Physical Fitness
Blogging
Desserts

3. Four words/phrases I use a lot:
F*ck!
No worries
Skylar, were you touching Mommy’s computer again?
Cool

4. Four things I’ve learned from the past:
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Don’t buy real estate until you’re really sure
How many miles you can run is unimportant
Don’t take things for granted

5. Four places I would like to go:

Not having to wash workout clothes since I don’t sweat
Less tourists around 

I’ll leave you with a Breakfast/Snack/Dessert: Vegan Gluten Free Blueberry Streusel Muffins

Questions
1. Have you ever come home to a huge pile of mail?  Do you feel the need to get through it all, right away?
I did only because after a month, if there were bills that needed to be paid that weren’t on autodraft, I wanted to make sure I handled those.  And there were some that were dangerously close to being overdue so glad I did power through that pile.

And of course, see everyone’s holiday cards that I received was the biggest highlight of the mail!

2. Name 4 things of yours, in any category.  Or in multiple categories.   As Holly says, Sharing is Caring.  Tell me about your 4 Things!

3. Do you like Blog Quizzes, Surveys, Fun Fact type posts?
I do once in awhile.  They’re a fun diversion and a way to get to know more about the blogger behind the blog, so to speak.  I always learn tidbits about my friends when I read things like this.  Someone always surprises me with something!

p.s. As an annoying aside, I was all set to hit publish and realized blogger ate more than half this post and I just re-typed most of it and uploaded all new pictures.  Oh the time waste the joy.  

See you later today!
