Mackiesmudder's (Cathie) 2011 Word

[Mackiesmudder]

I have never had a word but after much thought, mine will be Action. I have all of these plans and ideas which are never really brought to fruition. This will be the year of action. I was just Dr. ordered in Sept to quit smoking which after 41 years of smoking, I did! Christmas Day was 3 months. I will follow thru with weight loss, destressing and decluttering.

Cathie, congratulations on giving up smoking. What an amazing achievement.
Best of luck to you in whatever you want to achieve in 2011.

Good word Cathie...Looking forward to following your journey...WTG on quitting smoking.

 

[Christmas Girl]

Well done Cathie! All the best for 2011 - looking forward to hearing how you progress

Taking my first action!!

One of my girlfriends asked me yesterday if I would like to do "something", LOL. She just wants to get out and chat so we are going to a Casino about an hour away that I have never been to. What makes this an Action for me, is that we both constantly ask each other that and we say in a week or two and never do anything. We last took scrapbooking classes together for 2 months, 5 years ago. We see each other almost every day for a few minutes because of work but never manage to go have fun. There should be no obstacles for this and I can't wait!

First, congrats on the quitting of smoking.
Second, I really like your word and hope it'll be fun for you this year.

I like your word, too! Great pick!

Wonderful word. Congrats on quitting smoking after all those years! WTG on getting out w/ your friend. Great first step

 

[Mackiesmudder]

Yikes! Brought more in than out today!

I promised myself that I would wait until I was totally uncluttered and ready to stockpile more for Christmas 2011, but our Target went 75% on toys!! My total before discount $536.75 I paid $163.36. I also bought at Rite Aid all of the gift boxes I will need for .19 a package. I spent way more money today then I would have liked bit I am thinking my ACTION word is coming in to play here as I saved so much money and will not have to worry about coming up with bigger money at Christmastime.
Tomorrow will be the opportunity I need to get rid of stuff I don't while de-cluttering. :smilegifts:

Cathie, I love your word...Boy, did you take some action today!

WTG on the quitting smoking. If you can conquer that, you should be able to do anything you put your mind to. Have fun with your friend.

That is the BEST gift you could have ever given yourself. It hits home in my family and I've lost many loved one due to smoking. I'm sending HUGE KUDDOS your way. Take this year by the horns and keep going!

Cathie, great ACTION with the shopping. I know it is more than you wanted to spend but think of what you save in both cash, time and stress. Well done
