New Year

It's 2009.

Give Credit where it's due-
For the first time ever I think, I actually kept my resolutions from last year. That was to maintain a healthier lifestyle. I got to my goal weight.

For the coming year...
This year, my resolution is to be the best Mother and wife I can be. I need to be more patient. And I really need to learn to be less of a procrastinator. For the sake of my loved ones.
1. Keep a better schedule for the kids
2. Give the husband a break once in a while
3. Get organized

Simple enough? Maybe, we'll see.



I have high hopes for the coming year. I think it may be our best yet. It will be the first Bush Free year for my family. My appologies to any Bushies. But I see a brighter future on the horizon, and I want to be ready for it.

In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, HST wrote about almost being able to pinpoint the exact moment where all that was great about the sixties died and the wave rolled back....

Tom and I were watching the movie the other day. And I had thought so much about HST this past year in the heat of the election, and the past few years as I got angrier and angrier with the outgoing administration and I thought about how sad I had always felt that of all the contests to have missed, he missed this past one. But I reasoned that honestly, I'm a wee bit unstable to begin with. Having been such a fan of HST, his writings helped form my opinions of things, so in essence his spirit helped fuel much of my vitriol and I'm sure many other folks. So maybe he was along for the ride after all. Or at least waiting in line with all of us...

I have this sneaky feeling theres a new wave coming. I'm ready to ride it.
