Hi all! A quick post to redirect you to the most hysterical site I've found recently. Check out the Ship of Fools where they label their site as "The Magazine of Christian Unrest". I found it through a Mere Image post by Eriol. Some of the articles just cracked me up. These guys are funny.
I have a feeling the Third Floor Nomad will like this link...

New Year, New resolutions? Who are we kidding...
I have a feeling that if you are at all like me the same resolutions appear on your list of to do's every year. For some reason I just can't master the goals I set for myself. Or I master them for a time, and then fall back into old habits again. Why is it so hard to move forward?
This year I have one of the same resolutions I've had for years now. Lose weight and work out more. Lose weight, work out. Lose weight, work out. Lose weight, work out. Lose work, weight out... Hmm. Sometimes when you repeat something enough it stops having any meaning. But regardless that's my goal. AGAIN.
Status to date... I've started working out more regularly. This is good. I've started eating better. Maybe not all of the time but at least I'm trying to make better choices. I swear if I don't see any progress I just get depressed and stop trying. But it takes discipline right? So I've got to keep moving forward. But I was tempted for 2 seconds to try "alternative" methods. I've noticed many times recently a commercial for "Propelyne". Apparently a miracle drug where you don't have to change any habits and the fat just melts away. Yeah right! I don't want to even know what kind of side of effects this has. But sadly I thought that's what I'd like. But its too good to be true.
So back to trying to change my habits again. I wish I liked eating healthy foods, but unfortunately the one's that are bad for you are the one's that taste the best! And sometimes its just so much easier to sit on the couch and watch a movie or read a book. It definitely feels like its the best choice sometimes. I actually love working out once I get there and once in the habit I feel so much better about myself. But still getting there is half the battle. Though I seem to always feel I'm doing the same things over and over again. I think the effort is worth it.
Well I hope your resolutions if you have them are going well. And just for giggles I'm sure you'll appreciate that I wrote this entire blog while drinking milk from a martini glass, watching the movie Ever After and wearing a play tiara. Sometimes you just have to remind yourself who you really are.

Warning Signs...
Meagan recently posted a funny survey on signs you are getting older. I found I identified with plenty of the comments. Truly there are plenty of warning signs that you are aging, I mean..ahem... maturing. This year for Christmas my parents bestowed upon me a new vacuum. How does this go with aging? Well for one I asked for a vacuum! Mine is a small pretend vacuum (stand up dustbuster sort of thing with no suction). The new one not only has good power, it has all sorts of attachments. I have to admit I was totally giddy when I got it home and put it together and immediately started cleaning. I remember when my biggest Christmas wishes were dolls, bikes, and toys. Now its household appliances! Sigh...
Next year maybe I'll get the frying pans I need.
