Thanks, girls! And, Mel, I didn't even realize it's been a year! Wow, time sure flies! Looking back, however, I am quite happy with the changes I have made and the goals I have met (and even surpassed). Now, if I can just get this swimming goal met, I'll be REALLY psyched. I timed my classes to begin in August because I know that the Olympics will get me really motivated to swim!

That is really clever! I am SOOOO excited about the Olympics. The summer Olympics are the best and we'll be tivo-ing them non stop during those two weeks. I'll be watching them til Christmas 
I'm sure you will master the swimming thing. I have always been a fish and I absolutely love to swim. I think it's great that you're taking it on now, since I know a lot of adults who will not learn since they didn't do it as children. No reason not to! |

Blah day and weekend. Good workout yesterday, but still blah today. I have been obsessed with death (mine) this weekend. I can't stop thinking about it and it's bumming me out. I do this to myself once a year or so and can't stop thinking about the meaning of life and being gone and dying and on and on and on. UGH! I need to snap out of this.

Nearing your birthday? I ask because usually around that time I'm more introspective than normal. No matter, you'll snap out of it I'm sure. |

When I feel like this I tend to watch movies like The Seventh Seal. |

Snap out of it, Jane! I know we all have times like this, but my goodness, look at your workouts! All the red is quite impressive. I say find a good chick flick on or a good book and just veg.

I know, right! It's crazy that I get so obsessed with this once a year or so. It's not close to my birthday. I don't know what prompts these thoughts. It's terrible! But, I did zone out on a chick flick -- "Definitely, Maybe" I think it was called. But, all it did was make me sad. So, then I decided to color my hair and I got it too dark. Shit. Shit. Shit. So, now I am switching to a book. Maybe I oughta just go to bed!

LOL @ the hair coloring. That sounds like something I would do. Sometimes, I just get in the mood for a change. I am contemplating the going to bed with a book, idea.
Hope your funk is gone by morning.

OK, I just got the best news ever, and did I ever need it today!!!
Sophie's mom and dad are pregnant. I will get first pick from this litter, so maybe by the end of the year I'll have Sophie's sister.
