Ten Signs that it's a New Year & Time for a Change

Two full weeks of Christmas Break and three weeks of sickness makes one very weak. Here are my observations over the past 21 days that tell me that it's a New Year and definitely time for a change of my habits. I feel seriously gross over some of the things I have seen and learned.

1. My Pinterest Feed is filled with diet tips, clothes, recipes, new TV programs and of course Valentine's Day ideas.
2. The TV commercials are filled with car ads.
3. Jessica Simpson is boasting about her 50lbs lost on Weight Watchers. Wonder if they kicked her out like they did me when I announced baby #2? Yep, she's preggers again. Will Kim Kardashian be the next Weight Watchers post-baby celebrity?
4. Non FDA approved drugs are appearing on TV telling me I can lose 35lbs of body fat in my midsection in two weeks. And perhaps look like I looked 20 years ago right out of high school.
5. Honey Boo Boo's new series has started. People, stop the madness. Quit watching.
6. The "maniac" was back on New Year's Day, and she's looking like she's never danced before.
7. Casey Anthony. Do we care? I don't. Why should she make money off of what she did?
8. "Sizing America, one bra at a time"- now this one could be interesting on Double Divas beginning on Jan 10. Did you know every woman should have 7 bras? Yep, one for every day of the week! And if you own just one it should be lacy and black. Yeah right, I'm thinking white and machine washable.
9. My kids were extremely restless and were counting the days until they went back to school- okay maybe I made those marks on the calendar with the sharpie.
10. No more Christmas music playing on the radio and no more sappy Christmas love stories on Lifetime. I miss these things. Guess I'll just have to tune into the Carrie Diaries and think SHOES!

Timeless: Remembering Andy Griffith

Being a smallish town Oklahoma girl, I grew up watching Opie, Andy and Aunt Bea, whistling along.
It wasn't until Andy's passing this last week that I again watched the show, and had my own children watch.  My little G, she's 8, I thought surely would fuss at it being on because it's black and white and old. But, she thought it was hilarious and enjoyed watching it just as much as we did. Later her brother, 12, joined us and laughed along too.

Andy really is a timeless kind of guy, and each Andy Griffith show with a great message- something I'm sure I didn't appreciate growing up as much as now. I highly recommend watching some Andy with your kids! I know later he did Matlock and some other things- but he'll always be Andy Taylor to me. What about you?
He's kind of an icon of pop culture that stands for a much simpler time, and much more wholesome family TV of course! 
And I think Rascal Flatts says it best:

"I miss Mayberry Sitting on the porch drinking 

Ice cold Cherry Coke 

Where everything is black and white 

Picking on a six string 

Where people pass by and you call 

Them by their first name 

Watching the clouds roll by"

I just know all of heaven is getting some great entertainment!
