Got big plans and things you're looking to accomplish in the new year?
I know I do, and while looking for recipes for my new recommended Crock-Pot slow cooker (that's a whole other post, but I'm trying new things in '08) on the Real Simple website, I ended up also finding these handy dandy checklists for getting things done and operating one's life efficiently. Just what I need, and they've just been added to The Thanks Ranks.
Happy last day of 2007!
Big Boy has a knack for picking DVDs and movies that I have no thought in my mind to see or watch, that end up being delightful, insightful and inspiring to me.
This time, it was with the DVD, Meet The Robinsons. It was the only thing he specifically asked for by name for Christmas this year. He'd wanted to see it when it was in the theaters, but we, a-hem, passed on it. Science experiments? Time travel? Futuristic inventions? Yawwwwn...
Santa heard him, though, and Big Boy was beside himself when he discovered his Christmas wish had come true. Straight to the DVD player he went! The movie did not disappoint--it was all he thought it would be and more (I believe I have a precious little geek on my hands).
I didn't watch Meet The Robinsons yesterday, but I was grateful it kept Big Boy occupied while I prepped Christmas dinner.
Today, though, I obliged him, and at his request we watched the movie together. All I'll say is, I was pleasantly surprised, and hence, I'm going to ask you to please make a point to check this movie out--if you haven't already. I'm sure you'll take away something positive from one of its many themes.
For me, it was the concept of "celebrating failure", which has just possibly changed the course of my children's future for even greater good, since I've now determined that I will incorporate this into my parenting. For that, Meet The Robinsons has just been added to The Thanks Ranks.

Thank you for being a part of my Thanks Ranks family. All the best to you and yours today and during this holiday season.
Indulge me--I've got, what, two/three weeks of lost time to make up for...? :-)
I recognize it's been out for a minute now, but:

Go 'head, Girl! Sing it! Oh oh oh oh oh...

I hesitate to consider the implications, but the sunny 75 degree weather we've been experiencing here in metro Atlanta has just been added to The Thanks Ranks.
When is too long away long enough?
