I'm getting closer to reaching my 2009 goals!

Hello all...

I have been sooo busy learning all new things about my 2009 adventure that I hope will take me away from this job...I've been so busy trying to soak up everything I can and I'm beginning to think I'm a slow learner...grin...

Anyway, I know I've missed a couple of "Going Green" tips and of course Hazel...which by-the-way, she burnt my dinner the other night...argh! I had told Hubs to cut the crock down and he forgot...by the time I got home, Hazel had a look in her eyes that said..."I don't think you'll forget me again...will ya?" Oh to be such a bad cook that I have to give my crockpot a personality...grin..

Anyway, I'm having company this week, so I need to make nice with Hazel...so heeeeeere's Hazel!
