What to do on a rainy, gray day

It’s another cold, wet, gray day with temps in the 40’s.  I had a long list of errands so I met up with Nancy sans children and we headed off to get them done and then enjoy a nice lunch.

In the end I added another member to my little family. You know there’s Smokey

 and “Editor-in Chief” Rocky,

Editor in Chief

we also have Scout.

Scout

Scout’s been on a sabbatical visiting his family in South Dakota.

Well, we made a stop at the local “Build -a- Bear” so now we have a white polar bear joining the staff. The bear is going to be a model as needed for the greeting card line and a traveling consultant when Dusty goes on the road. You should have seen the interview he had to go through with Rocky…He aced it but it was an “in-your-face” interview!

We thought it would be fun to let it stow-away in the luggage and then get pictures at various locations. We’ll see how it goes. In the meantime we need a name.

Now you all know how good I am at naming pets and creatures…after all, how original is Smokey or Rocky???I need help.

So here’s the picture of our adorable new addition.

Any suggestions?

Resolutions

Just because I assigned a theme to 2012 doesn’t mean I can escape the urge to  look at the new year as a new start, a chance to get a “do-over” with a new  (old?) set of resolutions.

So here they are: the same old worn out chestnuts that I bring out every January. Still, if I BELIEVE this may just be the year.

#1. Be a better housekeeper!. Not perfect but just a bit more conscientious.

#2. Eat Well…not more , just more healthfully.

#3. Exercise

#4. Clean up my financial life.

#4. Above all Live Life Fully! (LLF)

You notice I didn’t say I was going to lose weight…not 10, not 30, not 100 lbs. Would I like to lose weight? Sure who wouldn’t but my effort is to focus on health not weight loss. If I can be active and feel good then I’m not going to sweat it if I’m a bit “rotund”.

Moderation in all things!
