Some stuff

The end of the old year and the beginning of the new year did not go smoothly. Pat and I decided to stay home. Before we did that we decided to go eat steak and shop at Walmart. I found some lights for the house at 75% off and I got some sweat pants. I also found a few things for summertime, goggles for Brook and a misting system to cool off in while outside. On our way home I realized that I had lost my phone. I knew where. It was in the dressing room at Walmart so we turned around and headed back there. We did make it home by 11:30, plenty of time to start the year in the right place with the right person! We saw a bit of Dick Clark. What a remarkable recovery he has had. At midnight we shared a wonderful kiss and opened up a bottle of bubbly (Welsh's Wild Berry). Shortly afterwards we went to bed.
Yesterday we went on our ride. No pictures. It was too cold to hold on to the camera! It never reached 50 and when you are moving in the open wind.....
After our ride we came home and I finished taking the tree down and putting up all the decorations in the closet. New year fresh start. The kids came over and we had our meal and played some pool. Brook stayed the night. She goes back to school tomorrow.
Tonight I start my class I am signed up for. I will be taking a month long self defense course. After this month is over who knows what I will do. This will give me the jump start I need on getting moving again. This weight has to come off of me.

Beautiful

What a beautiful way to start out a brand new year! The sun is shining so bright. The air smells clean. The birds are singing and the cats are purring. Come to think of it I was purring a bit when I woke up today.

I am looking forward to this year. Today is the first day of changes in my life. Yes I know it sounds like a New Years resolution. I guess it is. I plan on making a few changes in my life. I am going to take better care of me. I am going to take better care of my relationship. I am going to take better care of my home. I am going to love more, eat less, ride more, move more, sit less, and do now instead of later.

So time to get started on today. Today we are going on a bike ride so I need to feed our faces now. Black eyed Peas are simmering in a pot for dinner, cabbage will go in later followed by a pan of cornbread.

Have a great day everyone. Happy New Year.
