Am I having fun?

Because time is flying!
It is already February. The second month of 2009....really?
So, this year, my daughter will turn 12, my son will turn 15....what??!!?....and I will be one year deeper into my 4th decade.

Here are some of the other events of the year:
- I've suddenly gotten really into cooking. I enjoy getting home, chopping vegetables, potatoes, and prepping food for dinner.
- February will be my first month without a car payment since I paid my Honda off 1 year early.
- I will lose the 40 pounds I started to gain over the last 18 months (already 5 down after only 1 week back to journaling all my food with Weight Watchers).
- I will work toward paying off my debt (already consolidated on my card with the lowest APR).
- Things are going so well with my job, and they are only on their way to getting better with the team I am on. My team is interested in focusing on each of our strengths and making sure we are doing things at which we are most suited instead of "fixing" our weaknesses. COOL!
- I'm adopting twins....
Although this is not a picture of my girls, this is what they look like. The solid girl will be called Lacey Grey and the white/blenheim, Zoe Bailey. The middle names will only be used when they are in trouble :).
Anyway, I have so many good plans for myself this year. There won't be as many vacations as last year, but I think things will still be good for me and the kids this year. I'm so looking forward to it and ask the powers that be to stick with me.

Wow...I suck!

Has it really been since November? I posted nothing in December? That was the month I finished my first semester in the Adult Learning Graduate Certificate at Hopkins, went to London (England, that is...), and then there was that little thing called Christmas...and New Year.....
So.....quick recap......
Relief
Amazingly fun, special, father-daughter bonding
Family, hysterical, food....foood......food....
alone....shocker!

Okay, there it is! I'll add some real posts coming up. I'd love to say it was because I was so busy, but I must blame it on the Wii. I am now addicted and feel that I may need to quit my graduate studies, and possibly my job in order to keep up with the Wii in the way that I would like to.

Stay tuned for fun info and awesome pics....maybe I'll even look into using some of the Web 2.0 tools I'm learning more and more about.

Dear 2008

Dear 2008 –

Your predecessor sent many challenges my way. My hope for us is that we will work together and walk hand-in-hand through the year.

Here is something I would like to work on……
I believe in God, but I think that I have forgotten that He believes in me. Please help me to see in me what God does as I go through my daily life, good or bad.

New Year's Resolution, 2008

I am not great with keeping resolutions and find New Year’s Resolutions to be uninspired and forced due to the expectations of the media and commercialism.

Therefore, I will make only one resolution this year……

I resolve to turn 40 this year!

Try to stop that one!!!!

Dear 2007....

Dear 2007 -
You suck.... *X-strike that-X* *cough* *eh-hem*.....

Dear 2007 -
I'm so glad you're over.... No..no...that's not what I meant to say...... how should I say this......

OK, I'm thinkin' I'll try again when I'm more inspired. I think I'll take a moment to read, relax, take a warm shower before I try again.
