Kendra's Favorite Things

Song- Into the Mystic by Van Morrison

When JD & Lindsay find out they are having a little boy I am RUNNING to Barnes & Nobel to get this for them. This book is full of great advice for anyone actually. Here are some of my favorite examples:
354. Experience the serenity of traveling alone.
408. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be.
392. When you're with new friends, don't just talk about old friends.
330. Give credit. Take the blame.
310. Make time for your mom on your birthday. It's her special day too.

My brother introduced me to this band about a year ago but I never listened to the full CD until last week. I was able to listen to the entire album straight through. My favorite song is "Breakeven" but they are all pretty good... check them out!

I have this poster in my office- it gets me through the tough days!

Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, Pride & Prejudice etc, these are all the classics, redesigned with super swanky hard-covers. Available at Anthropology and Amazon.com $13-20 each- they are just too cute!

Oh what a year it has been! Here's the Reader's Digest version of a year in the life of Kendra Lee Dwyer
-I ran my very 1st FULL Marathon, and completed 3 Half Marathons to complete the Triple Crown.
-My BEST Friend got enganged and asked me to be her Maid of Honor.
-I lost my Grandmother Dwyer, and I miss her everyday. She was so special to me and I feel blessed that she lived such a fulfilled life. She is now in a better place and watching over me. I'll never forget the last time I saw her which was when I went back home in March.
-I Co-chaired the Impact Committee for Junior League and completed the "80 Days of Impact" campaign in celebration of our 80th Anniversary.
-I visited my Grandfather Dwyer's gravesite in San Antonio, Texas for the first time in my life.
-I achieved 140% of my annual sales goal at work.
-I fell in love and got my heart broken by someone who I now consider to be a great friend. It was quite a roller coaster ride, but I've learned an awful lot about myself in the process.

I'm just so stinkin' happy to be HOME for the Holidays. I love Tucson.

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

— Marilyn Monroe
