New Year - New Me?

Well here goes my first official blog. Part of the New Me? Well it wasn't something I had thought of but a dear friend of mine started one so I thought why not make it part of the NEW ME.
I am very glad to have 2007 behind me and the New Year is a good time to make new starts.

I have decided to become a Sales Rep for Signature Homestyle. I just have to get 4 booking so that I can get started. I need to get motivated because I really want to do this to fill up some of my evenings. It will be a much better use of my time then sitting in front of the TV watching crappy shows. Which brings me to a thought - today I have at least 200 channels to choose from but there is rarely anything to watch. What is up with that! When I was a kid we probably only got 2 or 3 channels and we never complained about what was on.

I am going to start doing Yoga. I finally put back on weight but I am not liking the places that it decided to settle in. Is it really too much to ask that it land in your boobs? I don't weigh anymore then I did when I was sixteen but trust me the same amount of weight looks much different on a 50 year old body then it does on a 16 year old body. I have also heard that yoga is good for "middle aged" women in that it gives you balance and flexability. That point was driven home to me last night when I slipped on ice outside Chili's flat on my back. This morning getting out of bed was a little painful, my ass hurts, my head is sensitive where the egg is from hitting it on the concrete and my palm is sore with a big bruise. And get this they did not even offer to pay for my meal which was cold my the time I got it home! Can't wait until they call to check up on me, lets see, Friday night I would have settled for a free meal but, today I am not feeling too good about that. Seriously I am just grateful that nothing is broke.

Monday night I am going to begin attending a support group for the divorced and widowed. You would think after a year I would no longer need that but I have discovered that divorce can be almost more painful then death with a very long greiving process. I need to move on and learn how to stop the what ifs in my head, stop looking to get answers I will never get.

On the bright side I am taking my only grandson to the Stampede Hockey game tonight. I honestly do not undersand the game other then, fights are expected and the puck needs to get into the others goal, and oh yeah and you want the most goals. The sports lover that I am (watching not playing) finds the game really exciting. So Go Stampede!!!

Whooo-hooo, Kim!!! Good for you! I think blogging will be awesome for you, and then we can keep up with each other better too. Hope the game is fun tonight-I like hockey! It is a lot like the Rodeo-you know somebody is going to get knocked around, and the morbid fascination watching it is wrong, but fun! Oh yeah, and I think Chili's should supply you with a year's worth of free dinners for you...and all your friends, like me! LOL Hope you are feeling better. Love ya! Sheila
