Beginning A Project For 2012

I am hoping to accomplish something creative every day forward for the year. Much of this will entail writing, but there will be some artwork, photography, crafts, and whatever else I come up with.

For today I took a picture of the books I am reading daily:

The two at the bottom I am reading aloud with my Mom as a Bible study. Our church is doing Read The Bible For Life this year, and although I do not attend, we are participating in the study. The other five I chose to read this year for personal edification.

The following is a scan of the hand written journal entry I made this evening:

I mentioned my new Invicta watch and I guess I should show you what it looks like:

I chatted with Alex a bit today and learned he is enjoying Hawaii. He has begun writing again, which I think is marvelous because Alex is very talented.

I am running out of time so this will be my creation for today. Stay tuned for more as the days go by.

Always,
Jo Ann

Thankful List

I am thankful:

1.   I was able to write many Christmas cards by hand this year.
2. Borders sent me a 50% off one item and a 33% off one item coupon so I bought two books I had been wanting.
3. My niece, Leigh, found an appropriate all-in-one for us to send to Alex so that he can copy, scan, fax, and print and hopefully get back in college classes.
4.   Laura visited Friday night and we had a good time.
5.   The sugar cookies I picked up at Sam’s Club were delicious.
6.   We were not stranded when the truck battery went dead because I had my BlackBerry and was able to call my nephew, Jeremy, for assistance.
7.   I have friends all over the world because I have access to my laptop with internet access.
8.   Mom is feeling fairly well.
9.   I am very fortunate and blessed.
10. Hope is a very loving puppy dog.

Hope relaxing in my chair. She always turns herself into positions that look uncomfortable, but she seems happy.

Thankful List

I am thankful:

1. I downloaded some wonderful ePubs or eBooks to my computer.
2. I have made some more wonderful connections through Facebook.
3. It rained here today.
4. Though there were thunderstorms we had no power outage nor damage from the storm.
5. Alex is keeping in touch though he is in Djibouti.
6. I have a comfortable place to live, food to eat, and many things I enjoy.
7. God is with me and blesses my life.
8. I have a wonderful puppy dog in Hope to keep me company.
9. I was able to enjoy listening to some music turned up yesterday.
10. Mom is enjoying the extra channels we have on Directv right now.

Photograph of Alex in Uniform

This is a picture of my son, Alex, who is a United States Marine. The pictures I had posted on my MSN Space did not transfer here because they were in albums. Alex is currently in Djibouti and expects to be there until sometime in 2011. He is very happy as a Marine and has recently re-enlisted for another five years. He has been in the Corps since June 4, 2006. He has been stationed in Cherry Point, North Carolina, but his station will change to Japan after he returns from Djibouti. I am very proud of him and pray he stays safe.

Always,
Jo Ann

My New Jeep Liberty

Me A While Ago…

Pay special attention to the hair in this photo. I am thinking of coloring my hair again, should I go for it or leave it as is in more recent photos. I really don’t know what to do about this. If you would leave me a comment maybe it would help me decide. I am leaning toward doing it currently, I even have the stuff on hand.

I may bore you a bit, but I am going to leave an update about BlogShares while I am here.

I want this one for my records I think I made significant gains today so far. Thank you for being patient with me here. I will try not do this too often. I once gave a tutorial on BlogShares if you are interested. It is in the Archives right now.
