Happy 2007!!

New Years is the time that I look back at last year and forward to this year.
Last Year ..

1. I graduated from SDSU with my BA in English.
2. I started working as a teacher. Sort of, I started substituting at the middle school.
3. I went to Ireland.
4. I had breakfast at Club 33.
5. I lost 20 pounds.
6. I read several books. Confessions Of An Ugly Step Sister . Wicked . Both by Gregory Maguire. These books are clever, vivid and brilliantly written Before the Fairy tale stories. I also read House of Mirth and Portrait of a Lady. Classics that have been on the need to read list.
7. I started donating books to the local Middle School. I look for books when I am at the thrift stores, books that are in good condition and I buy them and donate them to the school. I try to do it about once a month.
8. Alex and I instated a twice monthly Game Night in addition to our Date Nights. The Date Nights are just that, one night, twice a month; that Alex and I go out. We have dinner, see a movie, and just act like we are on a date. The Game Nights are one night that we stay home and play games. We play Board Games, Card Games and sometimes Computer Games (we have the house wired). We order out and there is no TV that night.
9. Alex graduated from Canine Instructor Academy.

Wow, when you write it out like that it doesn't look like much. But some of those things are major accomplishments. I am proud of myself and Alex.

This Year....

1. We both would like to lose weight. My goal for this year is 40 pounds. Alex would like to lose 60.
2. We are going to get into shape.
3. I plan to actually be teaching by this fall. Quite possible at the school I have been subbing at.
4. We will probably go on another cruise this year.
5. We want to save up lots of money this year, so we can go to Ireland and England next year.
6. I am going to be good about sending out Thank Yous, Birthday, and Holiday Greeting cards.
7. I will be good about writing in my blog...(i will try just for you Kevin and Z)

So, that is the looking back and looking forward, in honor of Janus . Janus is the Roman God of Time, he looks both ways into time. He is what January is named for.

I wish you all a Happy, Healthy, Safe, and Prosperous 2007.
