Your way of seeing the world is uniquely your own and today brings an opportunity to share it with others who desperately need some perspective. It's a good time to stand by your beliefs.

More about my plans for reinventing my life as I know it.
And it's not even reinventing, but more like returning.

0100 010108.
yes bitches i am still awake :D
watching the kathy griffin marathon on bravo.

LMFAO - I think I have my first picture of the 365 album:



I'm not committing it yet - it's only 1 hour into the day :D
But i think it's a good picture nonetheless.

tonight was lovely.
i mean, nothing special.
i got a scrapbook layout done.
listened to a lot of mode and an old "happy" imix i made last year that i forgot how much it kicked ass.

now, i think i'll go to bed and start the new year off fresh and exhuberant.
yay!

Btw - when and where did the 2000's go?
how did it get to be 2008?
i remember NYE 1999 like it was yesterday.
mirrorball bra and all.
oy.

I wonder if this will be my last blog entry of 2007?
Something tells me NO.

Anywhoodools.

So, is it lame I can't really think of any hopes or goals for 2008?
Seems like everyone's doing it.
but i'm blank.

2007 was such a record year i just want to keep doing what i'm doing.
I guess that's a hope?

I'm really reluctant to make quantitative expectations cause i think they're almost useless.
But, i guess I'll make a couple regarding my health -

1) I don't want to gain any weight back in 2008.
I'll be fine if I gain muscle mass weight - but no fat weight.
I *think* the only way to track this is pants size. I'm wearing size 11 now (I know, wow right?!!!!) so if these ever get tighter than they are right now I'll know this hope is in peril.
Anyone ever have any luck with those body fat scales or is that a bunch of hooha?

2) By the end of 2008 I want to be able to run 1 mile. That's what, like about 15-20 minutes? And I mean RUN the WHOLE time - not walk, run, walk, run. That would excite me to such a degree I can't even convey it with words.

Those are the only quantitative expectations I want to make.

Other than that I hope to:
- Keep up to date on the 52 crafts challenge (and attempt non-paper based crafts)
- Keep challenging myself with collage/scrapbooking techniques and try to get 1 a week done
- Be more active with African Well Fund
- Start doing Pilates regularly
- Take a 1-2 week tour with Fischerspooner if they release and tour the new CD this year. Especially if it's in Europe.
- Take a mini-break with Sarah at Woodwinds Spa in WI
- Complete an actual scrapbook album for my parents 45th wedding anniversary (which is Dec 20)
- Either learn to accept my jobs shortcomings or find a new one
