My paternal grandmother (I call her Nana) has poor circulation, just like me. Our hands and feet are always cold. When I was little, she used to take my tiny hand between her own much larger ones and try to bring some warmth back to my chilly digits. While doing it, she’d typically intone, “Cold…

2015
Goals: Get better. Walk the Camino. Sing. Kiss. Hold hands. Keep on dancing in the kitchen. You’re the best thing about my 2014. I can’t wait to see 2015 with you, Doug.
Resolutions 2013: Update #3
Weirdly enough, I’ve been thinking it was time to write an update on my 2013 resolutions. Imagine my surprise when yesterday’s Daily Post prompt was to discuss the state of my year thus far. Here’s what I said I’d be doing, and what I’m thinking about what I’ve accomplished thus far… I said that I’d…
Resolutions 2013: Update #2
Summer is officially here, so it’s time to look into my resolutions and see how well I’m doing. I can tell you that today I feel rather hopeless, a little fat, a lot frazzled. I feel stuck, so hoping that going through the resolutions will help me see that I’m on the right track. If…
Resolutions 2013: Update #1
February will soon be coming to a close, so it seemed like a good idea to peek in on my New Year’s Resolutions and see if I’m still in line. Surprisingly, it looks like I’m actually doing pretty well, or at least staying on target. This, despite having a weird, lingering head cold for the…
On Going Boldly – First Thoughts on 2013 Resolutions

Resolution Update #7 – I Can Swim!!!!
It’s almost April, and definitely time to regroup and consider how far I’ve gotten with my 2012 New Year’s resolutions. 1) Learning to Swim. I’m still doing swim lessons once a week, and today for the first time I actually swam correctly and confidently. I’ve been doing all of the moves right for awhile, but not…
Resolution Update #6 & Total Lean 7 Day Fast Loss: Day 6
For those of you who have been tuning in now and then since January 1st, I just wanted to jump up and down and celebrate with you for a second – two minutes ago I just paid off Credit Card #2!!!!!! It’s the second one that I’ve managed to pay off since New Years, and…
Resolution Update #4
Now that we’ve reached the third week of January, I thought it might be time to write another update on how it’s going with my New Year’s Resolutions. I’m actually doing pretty well, despite a few minor setbacks that I should be addressing at the end of this week. 1) Learning to Swim. I did…
Resolution Update #2
I got paid today. Since my biggest resolution is to create a budget and stick to it, I logged in to my account and starting paying bills, knowing that after paying everything I’d be broke again for 2 weeks. Now suddenly I’m frozen. I just can’t make any decisions, even though the bills I have…
