There seems to be something motivating in having a treadmill in the bedroom, right in my line of sight when I am trying to veg out. What I would like would be the ability to get up & is it first thing in the morning. Right now, though, my goal is to get to work on time…and I'll take it from there.

On another note, I am strangely fascinated by the Iowa caucaus. I haven't a clue who I will vote for but I am interested most in the character of those running. Some did not have my respect for the word go; some have lost it in recent days. I understand attack ads are part of it but it is a part I can't abide.

…and trying to blog mobiley (is that even a word?!?). We'll see if it works!

I don’t really like to make resolutions so much as goals for the new year. I’ve been pondering them, trying to make them most realistic and workable…so here they are:

*Read through the Bible this year
*Exercise at least three times a week
*Maintain a more healthy eating plan (based on what the nutritionist is working on with me)
*Manage my finances better

There are other, less lofty things…but for now, these are in the forefront. Wish me luck!

2008 is finally upon us. I had a great time last night at the church’s new year’s eve/10th anniversary party. It was actually much more fun than I thought it would be. I was home by 1:15 or so and got to bed by 2…then got up this morning to prepare for my annual Open House. I had about 40 people in and out and had a really nice time. It was great to see everyone and hang out.

I was a little depressed after everyone left though – partly because the holidays are over (and I have to clean up!) but mainly because my dear friends Trish & Jack will be moving this year. We talked about it some today because they’ll be looking at houses this coming weekend and hope to move by June. I knew this was coming but for some reason it hit me hard tonight after they headed home.
