It's here! It's here!
Our new wood stove is finally here and installed and keeping us toasty warm! What a difference a little extra heat makes!
Setting personal goals for 2010
“Resolution” seems like such a win or lose word. I prefer to set goals, as even if I don't reach the ultimate goal, I'm surely closer to it than if I had not reached for it. So, for 2010 my goals are...
1. Finish getting back to my healthy weight.
2. Maintain my blood sugar level in the healthy range (under 100).
3. Learn to use my new camera to its fullest potential.
4. Participate in and complete the SparkPeople 3-month boot camp (begins Jan 3rd).
5. Reduce my debt by 20% (more if I'm able).
6. Finish painting the second coat on those last two walls in the living room! And, finish painting the rest of the interior.
7. Start this year's veggie garden 100% from seed.
8. Finish putting in the bird-friendly garden I started last fall.
9. Train for and participate in the Sept 2009 Avon cancer walk in Santa Barbara, CA
10.Take at least one weekend a quarter to enjoy all the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
These are in addition to and above my daily goals of growing in my walk with my Savior, being a better wife to my husband, a better mother to my children, and a better friend to all my local and cyber friends.

Just the thought makes me cry
Our high school receives annual grants to put on a presentation about the dangers of drinking and driving. It's a pretty big deal and even involves LifeFlight airlifting 'accident victims' as part of the show. Last night, Bonnie mentioned that this is being performed on her birthday, and that she is going to be the one dying. Her friends want me to be the grieving parent.
This is such an important message to get across, that I'm honored to be asked. I'm sure I could be convincing, as every time I even think about it, I start bawling. Am I ridiculous or what? I couldn't sleep last night, I cried the whole time in the shower this morning, sniffled my way to work...my face is getting hot just typing this. I hate that Bonnie is even pretending to die. Yikes, tears again. Sheesh.
