Happy 2008

We had a lovely evening with some friends in Nassau County. The children played the Wii and had a wonderful time, and the grownups were actually allowed to have nice conversations without much interruption! I'm so glad we have this tradition to look forward to each year. Rebecca is concerned that, after next year, people will no longer be able to celebrate the new year with those glasses that have the double zero for the eyes. Ah well, they can do it again come the year 3000, right? Resolutions? Yeah, kinda. 1. Follow the Spark People diet and exercise program and reach my goal weight by the end of the year. (Lots of mini-goals on the way which I will probably delineate here as I go.) 2. Be a calmer, more patient mother and remember that no matter what the teachers say, my kids are smart, funny, and FINE. 3. Walk the dog every day. 4. Knit whenever possible. Please have a happy, peaceful 2008. Make a difference in your little corner of the world, and do what you can to help others who are suffering. I'm a little sad about the turmoil that's happening around our world today, but I'm still optimistic that we can all do something to help bring change.
