It's January

(The Fam at Temple Square)

Please, be under no allusion that I am going to start posting more often this year. I do not make that resolution. I have made two resolutions. They are normal and usual ones.

1. Lose more weight.
I will be adding my "Success" button back soon. I have gained some weight back. But I do not hate myself for it. I still had a net weight loss of 20 lbs. last year. I am happy about that.

2. Read the Scriptures
I don't. I need to. So I am. Nuff said.

Christmas was "okay". My heart was in Minnesota. And since I couldn't be there I was just sad all month long. I didn't think I was, but looking back...I was. When it was over I realized I just wanted to pack up Christmas and move on. So I did. And I feel better. I'm not sad anymore. I don't know why it was so important to me to go to Minnesota for Christmas this year, but it was. Like big time. I haven't wanted something that bad and not got it since...never. My lil bro and lil sis were there with there fams. They had a great time I'm sure. We did Skype the day after Christmas for about 3 hours. I played Wits and Wagers with them. That helped me heal some.

Our van died. We are in the market for a new (to us) van. We'll pay cash. Anybody know of one?

Life if very uninteresting right now. But we are busy. I get so mad sometimes at all the things that pull us away and out of the home. And the two big things that do: the need for money and church service, we can't stop doing and so it goes. We hope we are blessed. We are. I know. Several instances over the holiday were hard to not recognize has HUGE blessings.

We wanted to go to Disneyland this spring, but since we now have to buy a van, our consolation will be season passes to Lagoon.

I used to feel like I have to be all funny and witty and smart when I blog. I'm over it. I'm just gonna ramble and throw out info as it comes to mind. I'm thinking of quitting facebook too. What a waste of time. Who cares what people are doing and what everyone else comments about what they are doing. I need to concentrate more on my life and what I'm doing. I'll probaby start out by just weeding out my friends list. Here's a heads up. If I never see you in real life you're probably going to get cut. Unless you are like an old roommates or something like that. But friends of friends and friends of family members and friends of no one...you'll probably gonna get cut from my list. No offense. And bless your heart. And Just sayin'. And all those things you say, so that you can say whatever you want and not be accountable.

Am I sounding negative? In my head I sound matter of fact. I really am thinking pretty positively right now.

Anyway. That's all 'n stuff.
