Goals.....................mine UPDATE

I keep forgetting to mention for Christmas I received from my sweet niece a terrific new pedometer that I just love. Ahhhhhhhhh it doesn't lie *>*


I figure if I write them down I'm more accountable, no hiding now.


I'm gonna get my butt outta bed, stretch first then walk before tea.

I'm gonna come back and fix breakfast, the most important meal of the day.

I'm gonna use my resistence bands for a half hour sometime during the day.

I'm gonna do all of the above five days out of seven glorious days of the week.

Now to the hard part.

Watch my intake of the bad stuff and eat more than I already do of the good stuff. No dieting here just re-arranging my eating habits. Never deprive yourself of a treat. Tottsie rolls and Dove chocolate are minimal in the caloric count.

And ya know what.................Mr will benefit from this as well, cept he won't walk.

Many of us have short memories

go google and see how many Presidents have spoken to school children..........well the only recent President that didn't was President George W. Bush.

Now don't get your knickers in a twist when I say this but the only talk W gave to school children was on 9~11 when he read My Pet Goat to a group of school children in, I think, Tampa Florida.

I'll never forget the look on that poor man's face when his chief of staff, Andrew Card walked over and whispered in his ear about the terrorist bombings in New York City. At that very moment I felt sorry for him, in spite of my many objections of the man he was still our President.

I surely hope that the address Mr Obama gives to the school children of this nation, I hope it doesn't become partisan but by golly it's looking that way. And I must really be a dope cause I'm not seeing the harm talking to children about their dreams and encouraging them to reach their goals and stay in school...................what am I missing here........................why the fear? Isn't education our most important product? It used to be!
