Bad About Blogging

Baby it's really this cold outside!















First off credit where credit is due, this not my picture, it's from a photo contest Boston.com had last January. I thought it did a good job of expressing how the weather is here this week and that is COLD!

With the hustle and bustle of Christmas now behind us, I feel it is time to own up to the fact that I've been bad about updating my blog. My intention was to write a blog on each of the twelve days leading up to Christmas, but as you can clearly see, that did not happen. So my new plan is to write a blog each day for the first twelve days of 2010 and then hope the momentum will keep me updating it on a regular basis from there.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and I extend my best wishes for a safe, happy and healthy 2010. Check back on 1/1 for my first of twelve blogs in the new year!

P.S. Today would have been Grammie's and Grandpa's 70th wedding anniversay. Happy Anniversary G & G!

Brat No More

The Brat plates have been retired.




















After almost twelve years, four vehicles and two sets of plates, I decided not to renew my vanity plates again for 2010. I had actually planned on not renewing them last year but was in the process of buying my new car and retiring the plates then just got too complicated. Of course I almost got a rejection sticker on my new car because of the old faded Brat plates. That's when I made a quick trip to the registry to order the second set of plates. Luckily neither set of plates had to be turned in, so I will always have them as a memento of the Brat 21 years.
