Savoring 2010

This is the time of year when everyone talks resolutions, or even better, goals and start looking ahead to the next year.  Many people are glad to let the old year go and expect great new things from the fresh start.  Me, I want to savor the blessings that 2010 gave me.

The following video was shot “after hours” in my kitchen in my PJ’s (g-rated of course).  I wasn’t going to shoot the video, but my Twitter friends including Lisa Laoden and Chris Smith thought that it would be “keeping it real” and that people would like to experience the real me.  Well, ready or not, here it is:

I wanted to add some pictures to flesh out the events and people that I discussed in my video, I hope you enjoy them even partly as much as I enjoyed being part of them.  I am one heck of a lucky girl…blessed in almost every way.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading.  I just feel the need to focus on the gifts that I have already been given before I go marauding into the next year.  I hope that you remember to do the same.  Happy 2010, what there is left of it!

A Video from The North Pole!

This is so cool, I just had to share. My friend Diane Haley Brooks, a real estate agent in Templeton, MA shared this on her blog this week.

A visit to the Portable North Pole site will guide you through a series of questions about your child that will be used to create a video from Santa! You can add pictures of your child and even have Santa give some reminders about behaving at the holidays.

I made one for each of my daughters and they were amazed that they got an email video from Santa. The video included a GPS demonstration showing his sleigh route to Westfield, MA and details about their age, grade in school and more! My kids loved seeing their name, picture and information in Santa’s book. Here is one that I made for my six year old, take a look and then give it a try!

Merry Christmas!

Amazon.com or the Grinch?

So, every year I do the bulk of my Christmas shopping online and most of it is usually with Amazon.com.

This year I placed what I consider to be a large order of holiday gifts right after Thanksgiving.

Some items came right away, but I noticed most of the big gifts for my kids were missing. Last night I contacted Amazon.com and was told that the items were assumed “lost in transit”. If they knew they were lost, why wasn’t I notified?

This video explains further: (be sure to watch the second and third videos below this for the update, too)

So, I spent a loooong time on the phone with Amazon this morning and here are my follow up thoughts on the matter:

So, I am left to conclude that either Amazon isn’t reading Twitter or they simply do not care:
