Happy 2006

Happy New Year to everyone. We started the new year out wrong already. I was supposed to get up when Mark's mom called this morning and take my shower so we could go to church. We woke up at 8:45. So much for that.

Well, starting January 2, 2006, Mark, me and Jeremy are starting on our life change. Jeremy and Mark can both eat 3000 calories each (not fair!!) I can eat 2200. Stay tuned for our "before" pictures. (That ought to be a sight!!)

My only other resolution, which I am not calling our life change a resolution because they usually get broken. Anyway, I want to be a better homemaker and keep my house better. I also want to be a better mother and wife. That's it. Everything else is ok. Maybe I want to finally get a job. That's not necessarily a resolution.

I went to bed last night. I have been so tired since we got back from Texas. Doesn't seem that I can get enough sleep. Mark came in at midnight and kissed me. I think he and Jeremy played Skipbo until midnight. There were snowmobiles out on the lake going back and forth and were still going when I went to bed.

So, today, January 1, 2006 I am going to fix the typical southern New Years traditional dinner. Roast, potatoes, cabbage and black-eyed peas. If you do not know the tradition, you are supposed to eat black eyed peas (change) and cabbage (folding money) for new years so you will be prosperous through out the year. (Not sure if it works but it's tradition.) So, that's what we will have today.

Oh well, Happy New Year to all. Take care and have a healthy happy year.

P.S. I just looked at January 2005 to see what I wrote. Basically the same thing as I wrote this year. Difference is, IT WILL HAPPEN THIS YEAR!!! We are all together this time and we can help each other. Stay tuned.
