Okay, so we're still up...

...and partying on this first day of January, 2009. It's hard to sleep knowing that we have the next 13 days off and we don't have ANYWHERE to go! No obligations, no alarm clock, no anything. Just us, taking care of each other and doing the things we want to do.

Ahhhh, what a life. =)

I was looking at my New Years resolutions from last year and smiling out loud. =) Normally I'm disapointed in myself because I don't accomplish those things that I desire throughout the year. Either I get lazy, or forgetfull - or sometimes I just stop caring altogether. Well, this year something different happened. I actually succeeded in a huge goal that I set for myself in Janary of 2007. I shed 31 unwanted pounds from my body!! =) It was a goal I had set for many years, and I finally proved to myself I could do it. So I just had to share. I found this picture that I took when I lost that first 20 pounds a couple of months ago, and now I've added 11 more. It gives me hope for this new year that I can accomplish anything my heart desires.



Look at me - what a trip, eh?? I normally hate looking at pictures of myself, but it's hard to take my eyes off this one LOL~ Okay, Jen, shut up and go to bed now. Well, here's to a brand new year, and making all of our dreams come true! (Clink the glasses!!) By this time next year, "The Song of the Piano Man" will be my first novel to hit the stores...Sounds good huh!! But hey, a girl can dream, right?? I swear I'm gonna make it happen. I am bound and determined.

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!

Congratulations on meeting your goal. It is one thing I also want to accomplish this year (FINALLY!) and you are a great inspiration. I can't wait to read your book either. Let me know as soon as it comes out cause I have total faith that you will publish. I look forward to this new year and hope that it's a good one for everyone.
(btw-I love the picture of you and Bob.)
