Blogging Milestone

I've been blogging for a year now and about every two weeks I think I'm gonna quit. Cause really, who wants to read about the life of a 47 year old, overweight woman in an almost empty nest in the heart of Oklahoma? But my mother reads this, so I'll keep at it a while longer. Hi mom.

As I look back over the year of posts, though, it's interesting (to me, not to anyone else) to review "a year in the life". I've blogged about weight more than any other subject and I still weigh what I weighed a year ago. Bummer. But Mark and I learned to dance (swing) and we renovated a few rooms in this old house, and we ate our way through Seattle, I said good-bye to my precious Grandfather, I put a Winnebago in a ditch, and, well, you've read all about it. Most importantly, I've connected with family and friends in an unexpected and satisfying way.

I'm not one for New Year's resolutions, but seriously. This weight has to come off. I could do one of those soporific video diary things about my weight loss journey. Maybe you could use it to put your toddler to sleep. "Mommy - I want to watch the fat lady talk". Actually, I'm traditionally built, according to Mma Ramotswe, of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Good books. Words like fat, obese, porker, tubo-licious...not my preferred descriptors. But they ARE motivating. They're motivating me to get new friends. Just kidding. I don't really have any friends.

OK, there you go. Another post has come and gone. Here's to another year of blogging about nothing in particular. Love you!
