My gracious! Here I am almost a year later and absolutely nothing has changed in my life! It is incredible that a person can end up exactly where they started, except that almost 12 months have gone by. Guess what -- I'm still fat, I still don't work out, I still am working mostly from a TV tray in my family room, I'm still married to the same guy who drives me nuts but that I love dearly nonetheless.

Do you think it is possible that one year from now I'll have something new to say?

It has already been a tough Christmas. It is too cold to put up the outdoor decorations. We have the tree up, and most other stuff up, but not too much Christmas spirit floating around. No special reason -- it just doesn't seem to be something we can summon up. So I guess my resolution for the next 7 days is to get some Christmas spirit, #$#%@ it!
