No takers yet? One thing I'm really looking forward to in 2014 is visiting my sister and her kids. It's been a couple of years since I last saw my sister, though I've seen my nieces.

I'm always excited for the beginning of a new year, I think of it as a fresh start and a great time to better myself (ok, not all my new years resolutions stick for long, but at least the efforts there! ). I'm looking forward to going to the states to visit my sister and her boyfriend who moved there recently. I'm excited because my boyfriend and I may have an opportunity to move to a new town and purchase our first home together! And lastly, I'm also excited because our family is growing and I will have a new niece or nephew born in April!

I'm looking forward to spring already!! Nothing like the first warm day when I can throw all the windows open, and watch my kitty renewing his friendship with the neighborhood chickadees from his favorite window!!! Chasing bugs, that warm draft of night air.. (The cat , I mean, lol!!!)

Oh, and a week at the Jersey shore with my large family doesn't hurt!!

Great idea!  Good positive thoughts for the new year..

Well, after years of having a tiny fridge, it has finally packed it in, so I'm buying myself one with a decent sized freezer tomorrow. 

So in 2014 I'm looking forward to filling it with lots of goodies, both for the cats and for me.

Our '03 Bucik Regal is getting ready to be parked somewhere else and we are going to buy myself another car to drive. .:nod: We are looking at The Toyota Rav 4 and the Honda CRV

2014 is a big year for me and Mouse.     I'm looking forward to a fresh start and a completely new lifestyle.  I am leaving my current job of 7 years, my employer for the past 25 years, and the career I have worked full time in since leaving college 30 years ago. I am taking the chance of a totally different way of life, hopefully paying to keep the roof over my head and keep Mouse in the manner to which he is accustomed, but without a lot of unnecessary stress and negative energy that has surrounded me over the past few years.              

First of all, we hope we see less cats that need rescue.......because more folks care and react.

We always pray that we can afford any new babies that seem to find us, and God has been good.

The health of our rescues and the things they need come before a night on the town, or even lunch.

The only 'main' reason we would like to win the lottery would be to afford help to as many animal

saving facilities......and individuals, as possible. Don't believe me? Take some time to know me.

Those that stand the tallest are the ones that stoop to help the needy.....critters, child, or elderly.

Merry Christmas and may God bless you that care for one another.

I am looking forward to finally earning my bachelor's degree!

I began college at 27. I took three years to get my associate's degree, and it is going to take me about two and a half to earn my bachelor's, so I will be 32 when it is all said and done!

Nice things to look forward to!

Anyone else?

May 3 rd 2014 my daughter and only child is getting married

I am looking forward to going back to work. I haven't worked in 2½ years and am hoping to find a job soon. 

I am looking forward to being able to go back and visit friends in New Hampshire this summer. 

Maybe I'll be able to go back up Mt Washington again and visit Marty   

I am looking forward to lots of snow in 2014.  In my area, we don't get nearly enough snow, but things are looking up as we have had some cold days this year.

anyone else?

I'm hoping to move from our tiny 1 1/2 bedroom apt to a 3 bedroom apt with my husband, 2 toddlers and 5 cats.
It would be like a vacation every day.
If all goes well it will be jan or feb.

I am looking forward to finding out what is going to happen with my job in 2014 - I will either move elsewhere in Europe, back to the UK or stay where I am during 2014 but that means that by the end of 2014 I should know where I am going to be for 2015!

I am looking forward to the new seasons of my favorite reality TV shows:  Big Brother, The Amazing Race, Project Runway.  Especially Project Runway:  make it work, people.

I'm looking forward to seeing one of my closest friends first thing in the New Year.  We're only able to get together once a year, around Christmas (even though we spend hours on the phone).

I am looking forward to seeing what the new year will bring.  I want to spend more time with my mom, and I think in the new year this will be possible.
