Hey guys,

Try this game. The rules are below, as are my answers. You can add your answers by copying and pasting into the comment box.

Rules: USE THE 1ST LETTER OF YOUR LAST NAME TO ANSWER EACH OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. THEY HAVE TO BE REAL PLACES, NAMES, THINGS. NOTHING MADE UP! TRY TO USE DIFFERENT ANSWERS IF THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU HAD THE SAME 1ST INITIAL. YOU CAN'T USE YOUR NAME FOR THE BOY/GIRL NAME.

1. What is your last name? Gould
2. A 4 Letter Word: Goat

3. A Boys Name: Gary

4. A Girls name: Gertrude (I love this name, even though it is weird, old-fashioned and I wouldn't want to be strapped with it myself)
5. An Occupation: gardener

6. A Color: green

7. Something you wear: g-string (okay, the next blog post should be whether any of us wear these things)

8. A Beverage: guava juice

9. A food: gravy
10. Something found in the bathroom: germs

11. A place: Germany
12. A Reason for being late: got sick

13. Something you shout: Golly!

Giving up something you love

My post title says it all, have you ever had to give up something you love?

Right now I'm in the process of showing my horse Beau to prospective buyers. I know selling him is the right thing to do- we've found Gerry's perfect trail horse (mule actually) and I have my Dallas. We don't have enough time for Beau and keeping would put strain on our finances. But it is killing me.

I'd really like to hear your stories.

Resolutions Anyone?

Well, 2009 is finally over! Thank the gods!

anyone make any resolutions this time around? I usually don't but this year I am going to try a few simple ones.

Decluttering! major work done by the end of January
Better money systems and assessment
Work on writing again

get some of the stress out of life, especially by doing 1 & 2 above.

How about all of you?
