I've always loved the liberating freedom that the beginning of a new year brings. I love blank calendars and starting devotion books on page 1. I thrill in writing down goals in a journal. Heck, I even like the idea of starting a new eating/exercise plan.

It has been a quiet and lazy new year's day here. DD spent the night with inlaws last night and didn't come home until 5 minutes ago. DH and I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" last night and I went to bed after it went off -- at 11:30! I loved the movie, though. Merle Streep is awesome. I just loved that quiet little dismissal "that's all". Too funny!

We didn't get a lot done, but we did get most of the Christmas stuff down. Still need to do some straightening. I really want to have everything in place and clean to start the workweek tomorrow. DD returns to school Wednesday.

My TADAs:

* Laundry - four loads done & put away
* Organized my work bag; wrote my to-dos for tomorrow in my calendar
* Walked 1 mile

Not much, but better than nothing. I watched most of the "Ugly Betty" marathon. I am new to UB. So, it caught me up a bit. It's a cute show. I hope I get to keep watching it.

Well, DD is tearing down my kitchen looking for her ice cream cups, so I'd better go.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
