Whilst Mac is heralded as being the best of the best computers to get, we are finding little glitch after glitch in our daily computering needs making computer-life more difficult for us. Blogging for one. When I used to post on a PC, I had all the options for font, links, etc, at the click of a pretty little button, but on a Mac, I have to enter in all the changes by html...until today. I've downloaded Firefox as our new internet browser and I have many new little easy-use buttons to do such fun things that I took for granted before. Mind you, not all of the ones afforded to the general PC public, but more than Safari offered. Ah, Mac. What ever will become of you in our household?
Aaaaaanywho. Enough computer talky-talky. Happy New Year dear friends. 2007. Man. I remember 2000 like it was a couple years ago. Definitely not seven. Remember wondering if the world was going to grind to a halt for Y2K? That was surely something. Time, time, tickin'.
Did anyone make any resolutions for the new year that you care to share? I'd love to be as prolific as my friend Shannon but my apathy far outweighs much else in life. It's like I've been working like crazy for five months to keep my life together, and now that we've arrived, it takes everything in me to just look after the boys' needs, not to mention any of my own. Cleaning myself? Cleaning the house? Cooking? Paying the bills? Momentous.
But to join the millions of others who have made the same resolution, I would like to be more active. I realize I have a certain level of activity running after a 1-year old (that can climb 12 stairs faster than it takes to wonder hmm, I think I'm missing a child here...) or a 3-year old that is mid-potty training and piddling around like a little puppy. I want to be active outside. For me. To get rid of the mommy-tummy. Frankly, it's embarrassing at this point. C'mon, Jod, you can do better than that. Pull yourself together. Your husband is training for a frickin' marathon: don't you think you can manage to do something outside yourself? Good question. Like the other millions, I'll get back to you with the answer. No promises.
Other resolutions? Ok, I'll try:
*making our bed every day (or at least pulling up the douvet)
*having a shower at least every other day
*unpacking the 25 boxes in our office space. Or maybe one.
*not eating a piece of left-over Christmas chocolate every day
*to cut down on internet shopping (they make it so damn easy!)
*thinking about substitute teaching or theory/harmony tutoring (I'll probably need a 6-month buffer of doing nothing after the move. You know. For wallowing.)
*not to wallow.
That's all for now. Inspire me with some of yours. Anything. Challenge me. Make me think. Inspire me. Anyone?

I was trying to get Steve to teach me how to harmonize the other night. I wish I lived closer to you; I'd take lessons from you in a heartbeat!!!
Also, I'm going to come to your next cooking thingie with you. That meal place. I'm IN!!!! When are you going next?
I miss you like ... like Donnie Walberg misses the NKotB. Like Brittney Spears misses being cool. If Bono and the Edge would miss Adam Clayton ... if they liked him.
Oh Shannon! that would simply be the best if you came. I'm going right away though--Jan 10th at 7pm. Oh damn. I just checked and that session appears full, so if you are really keen on going, then check out the available dates, and I'll happily change to go with you if one (soon!) works for you. : )

p.s. i love your comparisons.
Well now, I think we have a common goal and common drive to get to it, Jodi. Seeing as I'm going back to work in just over 6 months I MUST lose 10 to 15 lbs to fit into my old work clothes, or end up spending a bundle on new ones. I don't know if this fits with your plans, but I told Dan just yesterday that starting next week, after Kassidy is snuggly down for the night, I'm going to Milleneum Place to swim laps, use the gym, or walk briskly around the track. Interested in a workout buddy?
p.s. ditto on the mac frustrations.
yes, Angie. I would LOVE that. I'm in. It's so much harder to be a slacker when there's someone else to answer to!
