Happy New Year!

I always look forward to a New Year. I love the fresh start it gives us and the chance we have to make a change to improve our lives. I usually make a few resolutions each year because I believe in becoming the best that I can. In fact, I usually read more self-help-type books than any others.

So, I've decided to set a few more goals this year; and here they are.

1. Read the Book of Mormon each day
2. Bring my A1c down to 6.0 or lower
3. Find a half-time teaching job
4. Read to Ryan each day
5. Go to the gym more
6. Attend the temple more often

So, I guess these sound a little lame, but anyway, here they are.

Your goals are not lame....they're very similar to mine, but way more ambitious. My A1C goal is below 7 this month and then below 6 at my next check up. (My last one was 8.3!!) But I also included things like testing 4 times a day and reporting to Jim....cheesy stuff like that. I think the temple was on my list too. Anyway, you have a great list...good luck!!

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
