Simple Review.

True to my Word--my goals, not so much.

Simple. That was the word for 2011. I think I did a pretty fair job and being someone simple--we used paper plates and ordinary dishes for our Christmas Eve event and normally I haul out the fancy crystal and plates and sorry to report, but our drinks were not enjoyed from Red Solo Cups, I did go a little up more up-scale and got platic wine glasses.

For the most part, I tried to keep things uncomplicated. The kids had very low-key birthday parties Okay really, their birthday's just fell on days that other children happened to be at our house. The "parties" were great, a little cake, tons of energy, a lot of laughter and syrup shots and water chasers were even part of one party--guess which child that would have been).

I started working back at home and left behind a job that did not fit our live (or really anything about me). I made simple things. We had simple fun. I simply read. I simply did not work out. I simply did not train. I simply gained a lot of weight. We loved each other simply, as we best know how. Somethings were more simple than others. We simply wished hard for everything to be alright.

Did the year turned out as I had dreamed it would, they never do. But I am working on lowering my expectations and with that I have learned that everything is simply perfect.
