2008...Rhymes With GREAT!

Rah! Rah! I'm trying to be optimistic.

Life's kind of crapping on us right now. But I'm doing my best. We're ringing in the new year with a deep fried feast, kind of a tradition around here. The pickles were the best- if you haven't tried them, please make it your new years resolution- with beer batter- you will not be disappointed. Plus, it's pretty easy to follow through on, as new years resolutions go. You know what they say... if you aim for nothing you're likely to hit it! (oh, maybe they meant that as a bad thing?)

Anyways, I wouldn't want to totally bring you down so I'll tell you about my running. It's going great! This weekend was 3 miles (it was supposed to be Saturday but we had guests so I did it Sunday, which is an "optional" day) and today was 2 miles. I'm keeping up with the schedule nicely so far and I have to say it feels really good. I'm ignoring the fact that I met a girl who did the race last year for the first time and compared it to childbirth ("If you can do that, you can so finish this race!" she gushed enthusiastically. Which would be all good if I knew there was going to be an anesthesiologist meeting me at the starting line with my epidural.)

I have great hopes for 2008. I'm almost certain it will be the year we buy our last jumbo economy size box of diapers. Even though my son shows a disappointing lack of concern for the environment with his insistence on clinging to his diaper-wearing ways, I am optimistic that 2008 is the year to see change! Either that or I will be delivering a supply of 3 or 4 a day to his college dorm room... could go either way.

Happy New Year- I hope your 2008 is indeed great!
