March 2008 If only it hadn’t hit my butt eventually.
April 2008 John! This was it! The thing you said you’d only do for me 3 times in life, so I had to use them sparingly! Sigh. That was driving me crazy. The STINKEYE. (For anyone who is curious, I used up all three in the month of April. And I’ll never see it again. And he still makes me choose the movies.)
May 2008 Ah the snoogle.
June 2008 Back where I started from.

New Years resolution for last year:
“I have made some resolutions this year. First, I want to learn to drive stick. I know. I’m lame. I’m the only person in my family that can’t. I think that even includes all of my family-in-law, too! Technically- I guess I can…but I just get all scared and freaked out and can’t do it anymore. So, I want to get over that. I also want to learn more about web design, and really make this page what I want it to be. Third, I want to take more time to read for PLEASURE (ta da! No more required philosophy readings!) and review books online. Fourth, I want to learn to cook more things. I think I’ve already come a long way in that department- but I’ve got a lot to learn. Fifth, next year this time I’d like to feel good about my weight and health. Notice that I didn’t specify how much I would weigh or what kinds of things I’ll eat. I just want to NOT think, “Ah, this has got to change.” Finally- I want to keep in touch with my friends better. They’re scattered everywhere, and I miss them! I have to find a way to talk to them more often.”
So, how did I do? Well. I can cook more things. Hurrah for me. I did read a lot more too, which is fabulous. And I have gotten better about calling my girls and even catching up with family. So that’s good! As for the driving stick thing…yeah, we lost the car that I would have learned on in a tragic accident. (I can’t find a link to a post about it, I think it happened last Feburary??)…and as for the healthy…well, I got pregnant AND sick, and don’t feel all that great about my exercise routines. So another bust. As for this site- I am closer, but still so far away. So you know what? I am pulling a New Years ditto (with a few exceptions and additions). Give it another go. So, for the record, my “goals” this year are:
Be healthy and feel healthy.
Cook good food! Learn new things!
Keep in touch with friends, more visits.
Work on this site more.
Be a good Mommy and Wife.
Start a grad school program that I LIKE.
I think that maybe be all for now…but I can change it ’til the end of the day!
Happy New Year all.
