as of RIGHT now...

crap.

so I didn't actually mean to be gone this long. I had great intentions to keep up on this blog this year. I guess this is why I don't make resolutions.  It's been crazy at work and I'm doing this weight loss challenge that has me at the gym more now and cooking dinner EVERY night and then I kinda got sucked into facebook and ...and ...anyway. I've let lots of online stuff fall to the wayside in the last few weeks. I checked my RSS feed just now and I have 495 blog posts to read. That's how long it's been.  Now I just need to take the leap and buy the iPhone so I can read the post while at the gym...that would make life much easier...

I swear I'll be back.

hello 2009

I thought it fitting to have a 2008 mosaic of Alex on this first day of the new year. She changed SO much this year, as you can probably tell...each of these pics represents a month so the first one was taken in January and the bottom right one was taken last week right after Christmas. Mid-way through the year you can see the change from tween to actual teenager.

I have some goals (not resolutions) for this year but I'm trying to get them all down before I post them on here. This is inspired by the fabulous E.

I pulled down my list (the copy I made for my bulletin board) because I have been a slacker on getting any of it done. 10 items out of 38 is not a very good percentage. I think the gas prices and the fires in Big Sur were reasons some of the items haven't been done yet. I'm still determined to get as much done as possible though so that's one of my goals for the up coming months. I'll keep you posted:)

I hope everyone had a really awesome New Year's Eve and day. We stayed out way too late (and drank too much champagme) and have pretty much done nothing all day but be lazy.  I'm not seeing this as a bad way to start the new year though so...
