Well, how did I do on my resolutions this past year? Let's see:

• Get money stuff taken care of. On this, I think we did okay. We don't have an improved net worth this past year, but I did buy a bassoon and get our finances all back and orderly in Quicken. The 30% debt reduction -- with moving to a more expensive place, getting our stuff shipped out, and all the other big-ticket items this year -- just didn't happen. But there's always next year.
• Get health stuff taken care of. By the end of the year, I was exercising at least three times a week -- mostly DDR, but that still counts, right? I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't really been trying, either. I have increased my fruits and veggies, thanks mostly to our Planet Organics deliveries. I took a tap class or two, but never made it to swim class. The hair never would have tolerated it.
• Enjoy what I have, and stop concentrating so much on what I don't have. You know, I think for the first time I did okay on this one. I cooked more new recipes, DID use many of the yummy bath products I've had floating around, AND got a few pedicures. I definitely played more this year than any year past, possibly ever.
• Learn some new things. Though I didn't do a single one of the "new things" that I intended to, I did learn to knit and play DDR. That's pretty good for me.
• Spend more time (even if only phone and email) with the people (and beasts) that I love. Maybe I didn't call home as much as I should have, but IM has been a boon to communication with the family. Well, with Molly anyway. I did better with the turtles, though it could still improve. And the kitties are just as rotten as ever, so that should count for something.

So, on the whole, not too shabby. Not amazing, but not too shabby.

Long long time, no blog. I am officially a pinko, though. I need to do resolutions soonish, too.

Giddy like a five-year-old... Like me at five, that is. I LOVE Doc Ock! He is my absolute favorite Spidey bad guy of all time...
And I just downloaded the preview. Yay!

Something about Gingerbread Sharks just says "Christmas" to me... When we were cutting them out, I kept singing, "Buffalo Sharks, won't you come out tonight?"
Just puts me in the holiday spirit. That, and the only unshipped present is for MoMo and Jake...

Mmm.... Rio Star Grapefruit... The lovely ladies who provide our shared work produce have bought four or five of them. I polished one off, then chopped up the rind and dropped it into a pitcher of water.
The vitamin C should do me good. Can't get sick again. I'm freaking tired of it.
