I did join the YMCA today! :) I didn't get enough time to workout though. But tomorrow I will go in before work and do some. My goal is to lost about 30 pounds by my birthday (June 7th). So far in the past 2 months, I have lost about 40 pounds. But I have hit that plateau and can't seem to move on. So I am going to start going to the gym again. I also want to start eating better. I have gotten into a bad habit when and what I eat. I am not a good diet person, so I don't want to put limits on myself like that. But just try and be more aware of how often and what I am eating.
As for other goals for 2008, my partner and I are in the process of going our separate ways. So I am currently in the process of finding a new place to live. My goal is to move most of my stuff into a storage shed within the next few weeks. And when I get my tax refund (probably mid February), to move totally out. It will be hard to leave this house, this is the first time in quite a few years that I have felt like I had a home.
I still need to start selling off a lot of the Fiesta I have been collecting. I still have quite a collection of Post 86 in a closet downstairs. These are mainly odds and ends that local stores have had on clearance. Some discontinued colors in there. Also some stuff I bought when a local store went out of business. I am thinking about starting to weed out my Vintage Fiesta collection too. I love the look of the dishes, but I have never used my vintage for anything except display. I have so much post 86 dishes that I use, I don't ever feel like using the vintage.
Another goal I have is to start being more sociable. Not that I am totally friendless, but I know that I am a very shy person. I am going to start by trying to post more often on this blog. I also would like to start meeting some of the people from the Fiesta message boards. I am hoping to attend the HLCCA conference in Minnesota this summer. It would be my first time if I make it. But with me moving out on my own, money will be tight....so I will have to really try and save up for it.
2008 part 2
2008
Here is hoping for a great 2008.
I will be going down to the YMCA tomorrow and signing up again. Last fall, I let my membership go after my PayPal debit card was stolen. On January 1st, the sign up fee is only $20.08 and the first month is also $20.08. Sure beats the usual $85 sign up fee. That is as close as I come to New Year Resolutions.
Happy Holidays
One of the best SNL Christmas skits....if not best ever. Happy Holidays and enjoy some NPR's Delicious Dish and Schweddy Balls.
Brokeback Trek
Great parody of Brokeback Mountain, going where no man has gone before. Well, maybe a few have gone there. Enjoy.
Spin
Found this awesome video while stumbling the other night. While the video is a bit long (over 8 minutes long), it is very well thought out. I can see why this video won 35 film festival awards.
