I love yoga but it’s hard on that right wrist, which continues to give me trouble. I finally went to the city pool around the corner from me and found I actually like doing laps there. I’ve been three times so far & aim to make it at least a twice-a-week habit. Even if it’s only 15 minutes of laps before work – that counts!

How I did it: So maybe this was a facetious goal when I first wrote it. But last year, I spend four days canvassing for Obama in Las Vegas, and donated more than I could really afford to the his campaign. It felt good! Now I'm sure Obama will disappoint me sometimes - nonetheless, I'm full of happiness to see Bush and his cronies slinking out of Washington. Read how I did it…
We didn’t take a real honeymoon in September when we got hitched…just what he dubbed a sliver moon.
So now we’re planning the full moon! Looks like it will be Turkey in October, if the stars align. I’m excited.
