I’m sitting here, listening to my hubby “iTune-surfing” and since the first full day of the New Year is drawing to a close, I feel I should come up with some words of wisdom for everyone.
I’ve resolved to be a better blogger this year since in 2007, I was inarguably, one of the least dependable bloggers of the year. I could blame it on the j-o-b, but I can only take that so far... even *I* get days off.
Okay, so words of wisdom: Don’t be afraid to try new things.
In 2007 I tried several new things, some of which I even liked.
I tried snorkeling, and I liked it. I’m sure I’ll like it even better when I can find some clear water with colorful fish in it that aren’t hell-bent on sending me to the nearest emergency room for the latest in antivenin therapy.
I also tried sea kayaking. This is something I could really get into, provided I lived within a reasonable driving distance to a body of water larger than a reservoir. As it stands, my only contact with seawater occurs on a roughly annual basis.
I tried driving with a GPS navigation system and I love it. Every night in my prayers I ask God to protect my TomTom. No more getting lost when it’s pitch dark, raining, foggy, etc…
Stila illuminating foundation…love it!
Fat Hair shampoo and conditioner…love it!
Felina bras…the girls and I love them!
New author, Raven Hart…awesome!
And the very BEST THING I tried in 2007: being the proud mama of a newly pinned Registered Nurse! :)
One thing I tried that I didn’t like so much was a nasty thing called shingles. Great googly-moogly! How in the name of Hippocrates did they survive this hideously cruel and painful revisit of the chickenpox virus before IV drugs???
Can’t say I was crazy about that Miami Vice movie, but the boats were cool.
Marlin tacos…nope, didn’t like them, either.
Books written in first person, present tense, nope, still don’t like ‘em. (If you write these, sorry, just bein’ honest!)
Lying, weasly timeshare salesmen (yeah, I got suckered) but I suppose there are worse things in life. I did NOT buy a timeshare, and I walked out $150 and 4 bottles of tequila richer, but still didn’t like it much.
Windows Vista…unless they come up with some major fixes for all the flaws pronto, the next time I see Bill Gates, I'm going to give him a fat lip and tell him to pass it along to his design team.
Okay, so, my brave little readers, get out there and this year, and try something new, something different! Who knows, you might just love it…you might wind up with a “fractional ownership” in a condo in Cabo, but hey, you might like that, too!
Best Wishes for a Fantastic 2008!
Love,
Cinthia

Hey, am I the first to comment?! Way cool! Great blog and thanks for the mention! See you at GRW!
I tried to blog a minute ago, but I don't think it posted. Thanks for the mention, Cynthia, and happy new year to everyone!
Happy 2008! I LOVE sea kayaking, but like you, I'm not close enough to a body of water to do it often.
I'm hoping to try Vista.. on a nice new computer! {grin}
One way to be a better commenter is to use Google Reader - you subscribe to all your favourite blogs, then check it every now and again. Then you never miss a new post! :)
Have a great 2008!
Thanks for the tip, Michelle, I'll have to check it out. :)
And Raven, I was totally shocked to have such a stellar entity as yourself be the first to repond to my little ode to the New Year. Little happy dance here...does that mean I get a mention in the next book??? :D
Hey, Janice! Long time, no see...I see your hubby more than I see you! LOL! Thanks for posting. :)
Hey, Cinthia!
Nice to "see" you. I've been MIA from GRW since M&M. grin
I love your website. Nice job!
I just have to ask, is that a poop bag in your hand in the photo? hee hee
I have a new pup. He's a cattle dog. I also have a sheltie and three cats. I'm still asking myself WHY I adopted a *cattle dog.* So far this morning, he has gotten into the laundry and stolen four socks, chased and harrassed two cats, and dragged my kitchen doormat into the den. That's only in about the first 30 minutes. Stay away from cattle dogs unless you have a herd!
Mel, who likes fish tacos but doesn't particularly like marlin
Hey Cinthia!!!
Best of luck with the blogging. I've entered the murky waters myself. Now I can't think of a thing to say.
Can't wait to see what it will be like next month... Ugghhh!!!
Also, I love snorkeling. Want to try sea kayaking. Have a great 2008!!!
Tami Brothers/Tammy H
Mel, you are hereby under orders to get your derriere back to meetings! ;) Seriously, so much motivation...I would not still be writing if it wasn't for GRW! Please come back!
Tami, IKWYM about all of a sudden being attacked by the Mute Monster. Usually, I can yak with the best of them but TELL me to talk about something and...uhhhh.....mmmmm...uuuuuhhh.....I suddenly get that "dress-tucked-in-the-back-of-my-undies" feeling. {{shudder}} But I'm really going to try to say something meaningful at least once a month.
Nice to see you posting again.....
Happy New Year!
You have an award! (Unfortunately, that means you've been tagged too.. sorry! ;) ) http://mjmoore.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/an-award/ for details.
