Our Internet has been out since early Sunday. We had a major windstorm with winds up to 40-50 MPH. It was not fun. Today is my youngest daughter's birthday. Happy Birthday Tina.
The New Year is upon us. Time to make those New Years resolutions. Many people make New Years resolutions only to give up on them a few short weeks into January. Do you make a New Year's resolution? Do you need help to reach your goal?
Meet Gather's Own Resolutions Dream Team! Let Them Help You Succeed In '09!
If you need help keeping your New Year's resolution you are not alone and Gather is here to help you. Please help me welcome Gather's own Resolutions Dream Team '09, three experts in their fields who will be publishing content to the Resolutions group and holding live chats to answer your questions. Their goal is to give you tips and help you successfully stick to your resolutions in '09!
Ask the Artists: Submit Your Best Questions for Our Missy Higgins Interview!
Higgins' new album, On A Clear Night, retains the irresistible melodies and piercing lyrics of her critically lauded debut The Sound of White, which was Australia's best-selling album of 2005. However this time around, the tracks benefit from the empathetic production of Mitchell Froom, who is known for his work with Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, and Crowded House. The quiet strength of the new songs reflects Higgins' newfound confidence and changing worldview. A major star in Australia, she has grown up in public and On A Clear Night is the diary she's kept along the way.
Gather will be interviewing Missy Higgins, but needs the questions from you! Submit your questions. Gather will pick their top five favorites to use in this exclusive interview. Gather will also randomly draw one respondent to receive a copy of Missy's new CD, On a Clear Night.

Glad that your Internet is back up. I don't like it when the connection goes down. I can handle being in a place where I don't have a connection, but I really don't do well when there is supposed to be a connection but it's out. I had that happen yesterday, and it took me a couple hours to remedy the problem.
My New Year's Resolution is not to make any. :) And I'm sticking to this one. hee-hee! Until New Year's Day, then I'll change my mind and yet another one will be broken. ;)
So, where are your Christmas photos? How was Christmas? Santa bring you everything you wished for?
How're you...Wishing you happy holidays.How was te Christmas...
lots of love
