Making resolutions
I'm dreaming of a white day-after-Christmas. That's the verse that was going through my mind as I watched it snow on Dec. 26.
Funny, the weather guys didn't say a word about snow Thursday. All they talked about the night before on the forecast were low-hanging clouds.
Yup. Those low-hanging clouds were apparently so heavy they had to drop snow out of them before they could lighten up enough to go back up into the sky.
It's days like this that make me wish our Marion moving project was already over. We already have a place to live. In fact, I've been bringing one or two boxes of stuff on every trip to town during the past couple of weeks.
So far, I can't even tell you what I've brought down here because I haven't even missed it at our other place in Abilene.
Guess that means we have too much junk.
This issue will include our final holiday question of the week, asking "if you were to make a new year's resolution, what would it be?"
I guess my new year's resolution is the same one I make every year: To lose weight. I did pretty good on that one from about April 2001 until July 2002. It was July 15 to be exact, when my life plans went down the toilet, and I started eating to make myself feel better.
I was able to get away with eating like an oinker for quite awhile before it began to catch up with me because I was doing the exercise thing pretty regularly.
I have a couple of tapes which I did on a regular basis then. A few weeks ago, my five-year-old said he wanted to "exercise" and bugged me to exercise with him. Well, after only about five minutes of "walking away the pounds," I was ready to walk myself to a hospital, check in and stay there permanently.
Guess it's time to take this weight loss and exercise thing seriously again.
So, now that you know mine, what's your new year's resolution?
