I like that 3894!

Well, for once in my life I'm going to keep my resolution to lose weight. In 2011 I made a good start. So, for 2012, I hope to lose another 50 pounds as a modest and doable goal. If it goes like 2011, I will actually lose more weight. I'm eating healther, though I always thought I was fairly mindful (except for the insane amounts of bread and pasta I scarfed away). I feel like a new person, it's pretty great.

I also resolve to write more in 2012. I'm not particularly gifted, but I love it. That's what the blog is for and I plan to be a more regular poster.

I also resolve to do some serious research for Dorothy. 2011 slipped by with little hunting and gathering by me. Again, a process I enjoy and I hope to make a trip to WI to Madison, there's some good stuff hidden away there I need to access. NY beckons, too. The Gish papers are at the NYPL.

The job thing is going to be a tougher nut to crack. I work for 2 really good people, but the firm itself, post merger, ack. It could not be more soul sucking. Environment can be stronger than will and I am surrounded by mega unhappy people. Being positive is what I always try to be, but it is getting harder to do. I'm waffling between fear of making the jump and landing in a worse situation or simply not finding another option. Gee that's a lousy thing to end on, isn't it?

2012 will be a better year, I can start with that.

Now, meeting up would be a thrill beyond compare!

BBQ or Chinese are fine with me!

Ditto, Snowflake! I'm looking forward to talking with you.

So, this morning I have re-learned the ancient maxim:
No matter how nice, warm, and welcoming the wedding plans are and how included everyone has been in the decision process, the other family will bitch.
