I am happy to say I am done with all the tasks and chores that January brings after pushing through and just doing what needed to be done.
At times I felt overwhelmed and I wanted to hibernate like a bear. Or at least crawl back under the covers and put off for a little while longer- all the organizing, cleaning and putting things away. Instead I pushed through and did all the taxes, cleaned up all the Christmas decorations, and finished up a lot tasks that were put aside temporarily for the Christmas holidays.
And so I am writing this with a huge feeling of relief. I now have my evenings back, free to read my favorite blogs, or write on this one. Read a book or two… maybe watch a few old movies.

Before I started this post on movies that came out twenty years ago, I tried to guess what movies came out that year without peeking on the internet. To do so, I thought of where I was in 1990 and what I might have seen at the movie theaters.
In 1990 I would have graduated from high school and been 17 or 18 years depending on the time of the year. Because my mom was very strict I hadn’t seen a lot of movies, so being on my own I made sure to get my fill of R-Rated movies once I was able to get into them.

Its WAY BACK WEEK! RETRO RETRO RETRO RETRO. Change your profile pic to a throwback picture of yourself when you were younger. Copy and paste this on your profile.
I haven’t posted a picture of me in my younger days yet, but it sure got me looking through my old scrapbooks and photo albums. There were so many wonderful memories and things I forgot like this cake for my 7th Birthday. Do you recognize the man on my cake? Continued…

January is probably the busiest month of the year for me for a variety of reasons. I could bore you with a long list of chores that happen the first month of the year but I won’t. Many of them having to do with being an accountant and doing business taxes. YAWN!
Anyway- I have a million ideas for posts on this old blog in the new year. I am still working on a retrospective of 1990 otherwise known as things that are almost vintage and I am stilling mulling around with some other ideas to write on. For the time being I still want to post but don’t have the time for much actual writing.
So for tonight I will just post some pretty pictures of vintage owl jewelry. Continued…
