Question of the week: What Do You wish To Accomplish?

Remember when you were a child and got a gold star on your chart? Didn't it just make your day?
Maybe it is time to make ourselves a chart for what we have accomplished. 
We might just realize that we are doing much better than we think that we are.  
Here are a few things that I have successful accomplished over the last few weeks:
  1.  Having my first review and giveaway with CSNStores . It was huge success:)
  2.  Not having a nervous breakdown when BOTH of my vehicles went on the fritz and  ate up what little savings I had. 
  3. Preventing a household war. Easy E accidently broke DD's school project. It was a toothpick bridge. DD was more than just upset at having to start over. (definitely worth more than 1 star)
  4.  Keeping up with the laundry and keeping the house clean and organized. This is a difficult task for me but the showers are still sparkling clean! Woot!
  5.  Turning 29 again and having a fabulous DiGiorno's House Party to celebrate.
  6. Getting on the back of a Harley Davidson in celebration/memory of my Dad. It was the ride of a lifetime!
  7. Making it through my Goddaughter's baby shower w/o ruining it. Her grandfather was my dad's best friend. Once we saw each other, we hugged and cried. Also knowing that my sister would never have this day, really hurt. However I had to focus on the joy of soon having a new "nephew" to hold in my arms.
  8. Taking a twitter break. We all know how much I love tweeting. However I took some time off and spent time playing board games and watching movies with my family.
  9. Getting out of the house. I can be a total hermit. One of my dear friends is in town and we have gone to lunch twice! Woot!
  10. Shopping.. I had a $25 Macy's gift card. I planned on using it for the kids. However I really needed some new shorts. So I did the unthinkable. I shopped for myself and didn't feel  guilty!
There are many things that I still wish to accomplish. I would love to do more reviews and giveaways. I have 3 books that are calling me to read them.  My van (that was just fixed) started spewing fluid and smoke the other day. I have to make a decision. Do I sink more money into it? Or just let it go? As I write this, my refrigerator is whining. Not only is it nearly empty, it is also continually going into defrost mode.How do I fix this? My children want to know what we are doing for Easter. I have no idea. My lotto ticket wasn't a winner, so I guess I won't be donating to my favorite charities and becoming the next Percy Ross 
At least not this week. Yet I am not going to worry about these things. I am going to be happy and grateful for all that I have done. Bring on the gold stars! Now it is your turn. Tell me something you have accomplished!

Welcome to my first House Party ! We celebrated my birthday with the fabulous Digiorno's
Their newest pizzas include breadsticks and dipping sauce. All in one box! You can cook the breadsticks and the pizza at the same time. So everything is served hot & delicious. I received the following in my Digiorno's Champion House Party Kit:
6 Coupons for FREE pizza/breadstick combo
 15 Coupons for $4 off pizza/breadstick combo ( every family received 2 coupons each)
1 Supreme Pizza Cutter
 15 Party Necklace/ Beads (all the kids loved these & our celebrity look alike Mr T)
 1 Referee Apron (how do I look in it?)
 1 Refrigerator Magnet/Clip
16 Drinks Coasters (we used them for a prize drawing as party was outdoors)
 2 Trivia Table Tent Cards
 1 Basketball "Hoop" Beverage Can Game

All of my party guests loved the Digiorno's Pizza and breadstick combos. Especially the breadsticks. They were gone in a heartbeat. Although it was close, the pepperoni pizza beat out the cheese & supreme. However,only by a few slices. While the kids played basketball, the adults played pool and just relaxed enjoying the Florida Sunshine.  Food, Fun, Family & Friends!
It was a great way to celebrate turning 29 again.
I highly recommend the newest additions to DigiornosPizza! So be on the lookout at your local stores.
Also if you would like to try DiGiornos or another great product. 
Sign up to be a host and a have your own House Party !
Be sure to to let them know that LissaL sent you their way. Also don't forget to add me as a friend. Who knows? Maybe I might show up at your door when you host your first party! Woot!

Three copies of The Happy Book  have been traveling all across the globe. Sooner or later we will all get a chance to write our happy thoughts in the book and forward it on it's way. 
Even if it is not our turn yet,each week blogger's share what makes them happy.

My family makes me Happy and keeps me going. Here are a few photos:
My husband. we've been together over 20 years and he still rocks my world. He always tells me how much he loves me and that I am beautiful. He appreciates my quirks, sense of humor and my thrifty side. He even doesn't mind my "Bling Bling' shirt that I paid 50 cents for BRAND NEW!


My children. All together & dressed up for a family photo. 
This picture was taken when my nephew got married last  year.
Maybe we can get another photo done w/o the glasses!

My mom is the most courageous, compassionate woman  that I have ever known.
This picture was taken in December when we went to see Lisa Williams show.

 My little brother.  I love spending time with him and knowing that we are there for each other.
A couple of weeks ago he manned the grill while his wife (who doesn't like to be photographed & is one of my BFF's) hosted a fabulous party. We had a wonderful time.

My guardian angels.
Daddy & Little Sissy aka "Baby Brat"
 Forever a part of my family.
Forever loved and missed.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful family like I do.
There are many more members in my family tribe.
Hopefully I can share more photos as the Happy Chapter Fridays continue.
 Have a wonderful week and don't forget to BE HAPPY:
