Surprise Sweets73 with Twilight Birthday Wishes or Postcards on November 15
Cumpleaños Feliz! 5 days ago

Dear Sweets,
Cumpleaños feliz! Espero que tuviste un día fabuloso (that there’s to help you with your Spanish goal.) If foreign language is one of the options you can take towards your Bachelor’s Degree, you should definitely sign up for a Spanish class. I just took a refresher course (after 7 years of not speaking Spanish) and I couldn’t believe how much of it came back to me.

Well, in addition to learning more Spanish, I really hope that someday you’ll be able to forgive, reconcile, and feel closer to your father. I hope this year will bring you much happiness and success with work, school, and home. Have fun, and…

Buena suerte con sus gols! All this “New Moon” hype, it comes out just in time for your birthday :)



Take the two hundred situps challenge (twohundredsitups.com) (read all 2 entries…)
..harummphhh.. 6 months ago

Fell off the wagon, big time.
Haven’t been following the program for a couple of weeks. It was so much easier to stick to during Lent (when I was sticking to my “no sweets” deal.)
For some reason the Lenten vow seemed to encourage my sticking to the situp routine…?
I’m thinking about giving up sweets again ‘til…say, the end of the NHL playoffs, and maybe that will help.
Makes sense to me, anyway.
Just gotta stick to it.



ride my bicycle every chance I get
doing much better with this goal than I did last year 6 months ago

Got caught in the rain today. Went out for a ride to clear my mind and wound up-
not being able to see where I was going,
on a dirt road full of pot holes,
came home with my clothes 5 lbs heavier
and plastered to my arms and legs,
with a mud stripe clear up my backside.
Was quite liberating, nonetheless.
