Nice to “see” everyone!
It was so nice to catch up with everyone, well, a lot of everyones, but not EVERYone. But none the less, it was good to be home again. I do have a facebook, and a myspace, and a blogger account, but none of them feel as homey as xanga. It’s kind of like Cheers – you wanna go where everyone knows your name. So thanks everyone for stopping by and saying hello!
I’m still waiting to hear about the job in Sub Service. The manager called me at the beginning of the week to tell me about a long term sub job that might be more of what I wanted. I did follow up, but had already decided that the sub services job would be perfect. I let her know that today, and hopefully she will take that into account when she makes her final decision. Thanks for the good luck and the good job mojo you’ve been sending me – let’s see if it pays off.
Went to WW today — and sadly posted gains instead of loses. I knew that was a possibility, as I decided not to worry about it over the holidays. I’m back on track now and looking to make some significant improvements! It still doesn’t account for how my new jeans got so darn big — but since I’ve been pretty much on track the last week and 1/2 or so, maybe I’ve lost some of the weight I gained over the holidays. Who knows. I think I need to invest in a scale for home so I can monitor my progress here as well.
Those of you that have been with me for awhile know that I typically do not make New Year’s Resolutions. Actually I usually make one – and that is to not make any resolutions – ha ha ha. This year I decided I would set some goals for myself – they include:
- getting healthy (eating right, working out, developing good habits, breaking bad ones etc.)
- getting a full time job
- work on long term goal of getting a classroom
- and spending more time scrap-booking, painting, photography, writing and any other artistic pursuits that interest me.
So, if you see me veering off track on these things please knock me upside the head and tell me to snap out of it! LOL
All right, so question for the day…
What are your goals for the upcoming year?
And finally, I will leave you with some more snowman humor, to brighten the cold winter’s day (or for those of us in warmer climates — just for a laugh!)

Noted, i’ll kick your heiny if I see you off track
My goal for this year is to simply enjoy my son, my relationship and be happy. Das it.

That’s a good goal!
The auditions aren’t until Tuesday, but my oldest who is at PMEA choir found out he made it for regionals, which was great.
LOVE Calvin & Hobbes!!!!
I haven’t really decided what my goals are for this year yet. I’m off to a slow and unorganized start… maybe getting my butt in gear will be my first goal. HA!
My goal is to close 25 loans this year! Oh, and keep from going insane. Any advice on my school troubles? Do you have any experience working with kids with development delays?
BTW, it’s 5:22 am here and my temp on my laptop says it’s -20 below zero right now. The warmer climates are looking better all the time!
cute comics and sorry to hear about the gains, but you’ll get back with it soon, I’m sure. I really didn’t make any goals other than to take one day at a time and to live each day with all I can. Thanks for the laughs (Calvin and Hobbs) and good to see you.
Unfortunately, the more I work, the less time and energy I have for other, more fun pursuits – I hope you have much better luck with that!
I really miss Calvin & Hobbes.
Gosh I just love Calvin and Hobbes
I meant to comment on your last post… I LOVE your hugging the mixer pic. Too fun
My goal this year is to take a picture every day (thanks for the reminder… it’s almost bedtime and I haven’t snapped a shot yet!) and journal as often as possible (like actual pen and paper journaling…) This WILL be the year I attack my weight problem too. I’m out of excuses. But I didn’t set any specific New Year goals to that end. It’s just time, kwim?
Good luck with your job hunt and other goals
It is such a struggle around here to keep from eating all those calories. We just crave comfort food and salad isn’t on the list. Hope to get back on track when we go to Maui in 10 days…
