so far, so good

well it's only the second week of the new year but so far, so good. Things have been going really well. I have kept to my resolutions. I began working out with Kayla most nights during the week, and if not working out, being active like taking bike rides into town instead of driving. It feels really good, although I am looking forward to not being sore all the time. I've also been doing a better job with taking care of my teeth. Have slipped up a couple of days but am usually brushing twice, flossing at least once and using mouth wash. Feels good. What else? oh yeah, have been holding back that urge to drink soda. Have only had it about twice while having drinks with friends like I said I would only do.

Besides me... my sister is having a kick ass year so far. Her best friend from college got married new years which was exciting for her. Another of her closest friends and her couldn't be happier. They have gotten closer and things are just good. Also today she FINALLY got full-time at her job at TAGS, coaching gymnastics! She was very excited and even called to tell me! I felt very special that she did call. SO yeah a good year for her.

Kyle started school at Anoka-Ramsey yesterday. He didn't sound too enthused (spelling?) but it was the first day, a monday and he had math class, which he is not a fan of. Hopefully things will look up for him. I hope that he enjoys going there. He sounded pretty excited about getting a chance to study computers, although right now he has to take a bunch of core classes. Good Luck to him!

Mum turned 50 on the 2nd and Dad will be 50 on the 13th. A big year for them both. :-) They are taking a cruise with their other 50 year old friends in June to celebrate. Mom and Dad brought me back to school on mom's birthday. I bet that was exciting for her. :-P

What else? oh, class is really good so far for J term. I got really excited about it today and am actually enjoying the book we are on now. I'm very proud of myself for actually speaking up in class. It was nice today because I was actually prepared pretty well for class. Got a chance to take my time on the reading and take notes and everything. I finally finished reading The Bell Jar and have now started Girl, Interupted. I like it so far. It's very interesting to read about people who have dealt with mental illness and hear about it from mostly a first person perspective, them being the narrators pretty much. Anyway... i'm excited to read Girl Interrupted because I love the movie so I'm excited to read the actual accounts that Susanna Kaysen wrote about.

Krista is coming back on Friday afternoon and I can't wait to see her! I miss her so much and I know she misses us! I'm sure she'll be really really really excited to see Frenchie too. :-) They make me happy because they are happy. Oh things are really good with Maggie too. I have seen her quite a bit lately and she seems to be doing SO well! She looks good and we had such a wonderful chat today about school, and her senior project which sounds heaps cool. She's so amazing and talented and just full of so many good ideas!

Ok I think that's all I have I'm supposed to be doing my homework. Have to work in the morning but don't have to go to class. We are having a 'reading day'. Which means I have extra time to get my reading done and also should figure out my paper/project topic for the class. I'm excited to check things out. Hopefully i will look up topics again for my senior paper. That is all.
cheers!
