YMCA

Well... I did it... I am so far, succeeding at keeping my new year resolutions... The most important resolution I made, was to live a more healthy life. I need to eat better, take my vitamins and medicine, and excercise more. Well, here it is 26 days into 2007, I have started one of the three parts of one of my resolutions! I joined the YMCA and I have gone 6 out of the last 8 days since I joined. I have swam laps in their pool, lifted weights, ran on the eliptical machines, and walked the track. So now I am tired, but I am feeling a little better. I don't know if it's related, but I like to think it is, but my first night bowling since I started the YMCA and I bowled one of my best nights in a long time. Now all I need to do is start the other two parts of the resolution, and not give up on the exercise, and hopefully by the end of the year, I will be able to walk up and down a flight of stairs without taking a break half way... (I know, I am exaggerating... but I really am out of shape!) I made other resolutions as well, but that's for another post!

St. Valentine's Day (again)

Today is the 23rd of January. It's a good 22 days until St. Valentine's Day... that's over 3 weeks away. Yet people have already started to decorate for the holiday. When did we start decorating for St. Valentine's Day? I thought all we did was buy some chocolate, flowers or maybe just a card. Now we have to get window decorations, pink and white lights, and inflatable yard balloons. I haven't even taken the Christmas wreath down from my front door yet! I guess I need to be more "in touch" with the world, and go buy some decorations... How else will those retail outlets keep their doors open?
