Chapter One

Hi and welcome to my new blog! This is the fruition of one of my 2010 New Year's Resolutions - to write a blog. I wonder what I'll be able to write about that might be interesting enough for someone to read. I guess time will tell!

So to let you know where my head is, my other "resolutions" for this year include:

• Take a walk every day - preferrably with my dog, Jada. No excuses due to the weather - contrary to popular belief, I won't melt in the rain and even though I hate the cold I won't freeze to death or get frostbite so long as I keep my butt moving while I walk.
• Drink water - you know that icky clear liquid that comes out of the faucet? I hear it is good for me - helps to flush out your system, makes your skin look better, helps you lose weight, tastes terrible - all supposedly good reasons for me to drink more of it and less of my coveted Diet Coke. Hmmmmm - this will be a challenge!
• Scrapbook, scrapbook and more scrapbooking! My wonderful husband Bob made me an awesome scrapbook room downstairs in our basement last year and it hasn't gotten the use it deserves. He even made me a huge table so I can spread out all over the place. This year I am going to be a crazy scrapper! Hopefully this creativity will expand to my stamping for which I need lots of practice!
• Become a mom - yeah, you read that right. I'm determined to get pregnant and become a mom in 2010! I'm already 39 (hence my blog name) and the biological clock sounds like a jackhammer these days. My friends are tired of me threatening to "steal" their children - I'd never get away with it anyways, they all know where to look first if one of their kids goes missing. For some reason they say my "babysitting" is actually "kidnapping." Hmmphh!

Gheez, it looks like I have my plate full for 2010! So many "good" things to do for myself - yeehaw. Hopefully blogging will keep me motivated, accountable and honest!
