It's Resolution Time Again

Usually I do not make New Year's resolutions simply because I never keep them. However this year I am determined to keep the one resolution I am making - to get healthy and in shape again. Jason and I have both put on more than a few extra pounds over the last couple of years and are both having some blood pressure issues and just feel plain miserable. So we have decided it's way past due to do something about it. We'll be buying a weight set and bench and will even get the dogs in on some cardio walking around the neighborhood. Lois Lane could certainly stand to trim down a bit herself. This will also hopefully help the knee issues I've been having and allow me to get back on the mountain bike and start riding some trails this summer.

The plan is to get up before work each morning to get the workout done first thing...I am not a morning person and don't know how that will work out. I already get up at 6:00 to be at work by 7:00. Getting up at 4:45 am really isn't my cup of tea, but I would prefer to get it done first thing in the morning....so we'll be giving that a shot. If cranky blogging begins next week, you have been warned.

Happy New Year! And much luck to anyone making resolutions this year!

Happy Holidays!

So I haven't blogged in almost a month now...that's what holidays will do to you! Even as I sit here now there are a bazillion things I should be doing, but procrastination is my specialty. This week has been insane. I had training all week for work, Friday night was Jason's company party (where Jason won me a gorgeous new gold/diamond necklace - yay me!), yesterday was Christmas with Mama, today is Christmas with Mom, Dad and the entire Parson clan, and tomorrow is Christmas Eve service at church and then Christmas with Jason's family. By Monday night we'll be all pooped out. Then Friday it's Christmas with Celeste who will be visiting until New Year's Day. Luckily for us we're on vacation for the rest of the year.

Also during all of this we had all the carpet torn out upstairs and replaced with Pergo...and loving it! It was a pain to be shifting furniture and dealing with all that along with all of the above, but it's done and it looks fabulous! Bye-bye allergies!

And of course Christmas is always a good time for photos...all Christmas photos of the gang can be found here.

Merry Christmas!
