this is pretty random

Emmy and I frequent Michaels.  I love all the possibilites this craft store holds.  I enjoy walking down the isles and seeing all the projects, the supplies to create whatever you can imagine.  As much as I enjoy the place, it also frustrates me.  Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one in there without a "vision" or some sort of "end project" in mind.  I feel inadequate.  I am reminded of all the projects I've started and not finished and the hobbies I've tried to make my own.  But, no matter how much time I spend in there (or money) I always make sure I leave with a purpose.  I remind myself that I need to keep trying different crafts and projects, and constantly set new goals.   By doing this, I feel like I am "bettering myself" in a round about kind of way.  That one day I'll find my nitch.

Anyway, this is completely random.  And more random is the picture, I know.  These beauties were sitting on the back of a truck when I left Michaels the other day.  Even if my trip in wasn't real successful, these 165lb. St. Bernards made me smile.  They weren't chained up, just content and mellow- waiting for their owners to return to the truck.  I was pretty impressed.  I sat in my car and waited for the owners too.  I asked if I could pet the dogs (a little afraid might get my head bitten off had I petted them without their owners).  They were the sweetest dogs.  They made me happy.

So with new year, comes new goals and new resolutions.  I can think of a lot of things I should resolve to do... but I really want to "find my nitch" this year.  I'm going try and learn 3 new skills in 2010 and excel in them.  I want to give homemade Christmas gifts to friends and family in 2010.

Now, I just have to narrow down all the things I want to learn to 3! (maybe I'll make it more)
