Yesterday I spent 1 hour playing outside in the snow with the kids. We had a snowball fight and we built a snow fort. Since we only built one snow fort it morphed into a snow creation with 5 tunnels that met in the middle, and included a lame gargoyle on top. The only reason I can say that it was "lame" is because I built it. This is how a kid's mind works....

After we finished the snow creation? Mallory asked me if we could take the puppies out there and put them in the tunnels. These are the same very small, fragile, 5 week old puppies who shiver at a house temp of 70. These are the same $1000.00 puppies that we are sitting. Read - not owning but puppy sitting. The same puppies who can only be wiped off occasionally because their skin is so delicate. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea but "no".

Christmas is over, New Year's Eve is coming and I'm in need of a workout routine. How will this year be different than last year? Will it? In some ways I really want this year to be different.

Tina had 2 major surgeries in 2009 - Let's go for zero in 2010
I made less money than 2008 - Let's go for double in 2010
We moved and remodeled our house - Let's stay put this coming year

In some ways I want this coming year to be the same.
I am loved by my immediate family and I adore them.
My itunes addiction grew and my tastes developed
My website business did better than last year

Now it's only to figure out what can be improved.
