I always start the year off S....L....O....W!
I think I go into hibernation/recovery mode after the holidays.
This year is starting off with a !BANG! but it is leaving me exhausted.
I have not yet made it through the Tickled Pink No. 34 (YIKES!)
nor have I visited many of the links from the Best Of.
I will...you better watch out shout outs and spotlights may pop up at any time!
********************************
So, I was not going to do Tickled Pink this week...but then I had a burst of energy or a hope that this stinky week could get better...

I will be DIYing with a vengeance this weekend-I have have about 500 projects in various states of completion!...so watch out!
And my crappy mac is, well crappy - I do not heart the "geniuses" at the Apple Store Genius Bar! - I have an uncanny ability to pick the lemon! So if I virtually disappear, it is because the mac has been thrown into the Pacific Ocean!
I have some other exciting news too...but that will have to wait for a bit!
So, here's to 2011!
I have hope.
I have hope.
Next week will be "normal" again...
I think!
I am off to find some pink happiness tomorrow...
shopping with my baby girl and
celebrating one of my favoritest people's birthday!

I know what you mean about being tired -- holidays, travel, life, and the flu pretty knocked me on my bum this year.
