#1 didn’t happen because of those pesky addicting Twilight books. #2 was a joke…didn’t exercise once…more to come on that issue. #3 was a complete and utter success…this year we have paid off more than $25K of debt including our truck that we got last summer, our kitchen renovation, and our honeymoon in Mexico (insert booty-shake here). The rest sortof speaks for itself.

Oh and because I like photos more than reading – here is my sub for the pies I didn’t make.

and one of the cards that I made to encourage my best friend…I would have written a long note on the back but the words escape me…they always do when it comes to the boyfriend.

Now here’s the main course – here’s what’s for dinner – the other white meat – eat mor Bowr Powr (sorry, I always go too far with the jokes):
