Happy New Year ~ One Day Late
Well, I meant to post yesterday. No, really, I did.
Sorry I'm slacking off. I'll be a better blogger this year, I resolve to.
But, one day late: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I can't believe I totally forgot to say, "See You Next Year!" to everyone I saw on the last few days of 2006. Because that is one of my favorite things to do. Because it's so funny and original.
(mumbles to self) "See You Next Year!"
*snork*
ahh well, I missed it. Bummer.
Walking: It's begun! I did not let January 1 pass without putting my foot to the pavement. I took a 1 mile leisurely stroll around the block with my visiting sister-in-law Linda, my daughters, and Bindi (seen below).
In case you don't know me well enough to know, Bindi is not my dog. Bindi is visiting with Linda. I do not do dogs.
But I concede that Bindi is a very nice dog. She's very good, and sweet, and cute. And my children are having a wonderful time playing with her. Poor Bindi, they might just wear her out.
But this does not. mean. we. will. get. a. dog.
Evah.
But I'll let Bindi visit. The kids will just have to squeeze all their doggy love out of Bindi's visits.
But for me and my house?
no.
dogs.
I'm just sayin'.
So, anyway. What was I saying? Oh, right, the walking.
It was fun to write on my little walking chart Jan 1, 1 1 1 1
I have a little chart where I write down my deliberate exercise walking miles. So that's 1 for the day, 1 for the week, 1 for the month, and 1 for the year. LOL! I've always been fond of repeating numbers.
I need to update my walking graphics so they require NO maintenance. But I broke the walking blog, somehow. Actually I think when I fixed this one, it broke the other one. But I'm not really sure. So I'll have to call on someone to help me fix it. If only I knew someone big and strong and computer-smart to come to my rescue. *giggle*
My walking goal for this year, I think, no, boldly declare, is 600 miles. If I do an average of 2 miles a day, I can do that easily. If I slack off at any point, I've got no hope. LOL! So I'll need you all to help me. Stay with me. Don't let me slack off!
Huh. There was one other thing I was going to tack on to my blog today. But I blanked out on what it is. Imagine me, sitting here, staring at you with a slack, blank face. I guess that about wraps it up, huh?

Posted by: Liz at January 2, 2007 9:45 AMAwwww, but mom.....a dog is so small it wouldn't take up much space....and we promise to feed him and walk him and you will never have to do anything for him!!
We promise!
Oh, sorry, I must have been channeling my own kids from a few years ago.....hmmmmm
Congrats on the walking! I'm trying to do my resolution list right now. You remember....blogging, reading blogs and staying at home more....just the things I can reasonably do.
:)
David wants a golden retriever. Yeah. In THIS house where we trip over each other? I don't THINK so! A guinea pig is all we can do.
Happy New Year, Kimchi. 600 miles!? Uh oh, I don't know a song for that one. But way to go - boldly declaring and all!!
Posted by: Peggy at January 2, 2007 10:13 AMHey, you're in under the wire and it's still a new year. Happy New Year back at you.
Posted by: Michelle at January 2, 2007 11:26 AM600 miles? How are we going to sing about that?
Happy New Year. I'm going to get up and walk RIGHT NOW.
well....after I go change a diaper and fold some laundry. THEN I'll walk. :-)
Posted by: Rosanne at January 2, 2007 12:53 PMLOL! That was my first thought when I could only see the picture of the dog and hadn't scrolled to see what you wrote. I thought to myself 'Kim got a dog?! NO way!'. Now I see you did not and I was not mistaken about your feelings toward dogs. Especially small yappy dogs!
600 miles is a very admirable goal!
Posted by: Julie in MI at January 2, 2007 3:11 PMLike Julie, I had a moment of panic when I saw the picture of the dog and thought "what is Kim doing? My universe is topsy turvy if Kim gets a dog!" but then I read the text and relaxed and remember Linda talking about Bindi. Sigh of relief. The universe is right side up after all.
Happy New Year!
And I also secretly loved the "see you next year" tagline.
