New year, same kind of post January 10, 2012

1. Obviously I’ve been in a blogging rut the last few months.

2. January is always a hard month for me. It’s okay, it’ll be over before I know it!

3. I’ve read two books already (one normal length, one short) and am working through a third one. It’s a 1,005 pages long, so it might take me a million years to finish it.

4. Charisse starts jujitsu today and I get to take her to her first class. I’m really excited to see this go down.

5. Charisse will be eight years old a month from Thursday and I kind of want to weep. She is growing up so fast. There are only a few months left in second grade. Where does the time go?!

6. I miss my Tommy dog. There’s a dog that plays at the park sometimes, named Holly, and for some reason she reminds me so much of my Thomas and whenever I see her, I miss him like crazy.

7. Charisse and I have been doing the Ease into 5K program. Week 1 was fantastic. Week 2 (we’ve only done the first day) sucked so hard. I think it’s because half of what I was doing was uphill, but I wanted to cry. I still managed 2.21 miles, though, so that is excellent. I’m hoping that it will be easier when we run tomorrow because I’m going to stretch more/better and run a route that isn’t asking for a world of pain.

8. The weather has been so windy. Thankfully it’s finally less windy today. It was so nice outside. I sat out in the sunshine at Starbucks today for an hour and just enjoyed the perfect temperature.

9. There was a robbery at the pizza place literally a tenth of a mile down the street from me. Well doesn’t that make me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy?

10. I can’t wait to see Celine again in Vegas in mid-March. There are third row tickets available to one of her August shows for “only” $271 (including Ticketmaster’s dumb fees) and I’m seriously considering going!
