So...long absence where I wasn't very internet productive. lol! I spent a lot of time knitting and other small projects. But no updates. So, started working again, temp, but still, yay for money. I like making money. It's not a bad job, and hell, I get paid to do it, so it's mostly good all around. I am excited to be out of the house for 8 hours a day.
Bellydance is good. We're prepping for the charity show, in February. I have done the one thing I had set as a goal, I kept going all of last year. And am still going. No breaks allowed, that way leads to weight gain (which happened anyways, don't ask), SAD badness, and a cranky Jade. Bad idea!
Apparently (and unbeknownst to me) 2008 was/is a growing year. Learning lots more things about myself, the people around me, and our relationships. None of it has been very easy. I am hoping that 2009 isn't quite so hard on me, but who knows? And really, I can't completely complain, 2008 wasn't THAT bad, but wow.
Am a bit bummed about my sliding weight loss issues, see Fit not Fat for updates there. Suffice to say that there will be more order imposed (self-imposed, BTW) on our life/my life as it relates to food, grocery shopping, and exercise (well exercise for me, DH is on his own there). Also financially, things have been "not working" in such a way that we're both frustrated and we're not making any headways getting out of debt/putting any savings away. And it's silly, because we have to opportunities, we just need to maximize those.
So yeah, it's the time of year when I get energized about new weight loss plans, new exercise plans, packing lists of HPF'09, and I am very excited to get started. Whee!
