Dear faithful blog readers,
I have been a blog-slacker in 2008. Yes, I admit it. That's step #1 of the ten-step recovery plan for being a blog-slacker.
Okay, okay... in all seriousness, I'm here to tell you the REAL reason why I've been MIA in 2008. I've got something in my life for the FIRST TIME since I've been an adult. Actually, I don't remember a time I had this since before I was in JR Hight School!! It's something very foreign to me and has been a gradual change for 2008. It's actually my MAIN 2008 NEW YEARS RESOLUTION. (No, I haven't posted it yet!) There is an surprisingly small percentage of working Americans who have this.
Can you guess what it is??

Guessing what your 2008 Resolution is and what it is you got for the first time since you've been old enough to drive? Can we guess more than once? Here goes my guesses..I think it might be one of the following:
*learn a new language
*take more time for self
*vow to remain in your size 2 jeans
*have a Dance Studio in your home
*do a dance performance before
a crowd of people
*never leave your True Love
*sponsor a foreign exchange student
That's all i can think of off the top of my head....if i think of anything else i'll be sure to post it. (hee hee)
Sorry to hear your under the weather Mike:( Liana did you make him some soup? (hee hee)
