one of my birthday gifts from adam was a weekend getaway to sunriver oregon. what a glorious time we had talking, laughing, eating, walking, shopping and setting future goals for our family.

34


happy birthday to me. number 34. this year i'd like to achieve the following:



  1. live less "fair & square".


  2. ban myself from certain blogs. drama (although laughable) + malice = waste of time.



  3. fuss less.



  4. modify my food portions...especially dairy.



  5. continue to strive to live "content". stuff and status doesn't matter. period.



  6. cease sugarcoating my feelings.


  7. do what is best for brenner - no matter the consequences.

  8. leave the past in its rightful place. 

  9. guard more.

  10. quote less.

a brenner moment: last weekend at dinner, when asked by our waiter how he would like his prime rib prepared, he responded with great confidence, "in little pieces please!".

my words are a swirlin' in my noggin' but it seems they are quite content to stay there. trust me, that's a good thing...a very good thing.

meet billy the dog. pay no attention to my embroidery skills.
