So it's 11:43pm and instead of partying like everyone else I know on New Year's Eve, I'm snuggled up in my pj's type type typin' along on my laptop in bed with the Wokster and some of my fave Beatles tunes. It's great! At least if I wanted a quick drink at midnight I could just bring it into the bedroom with me and not have to worry about driving home afterward. I'm comfy and I'm okay with not partying like a rockstar too much anymore. It's just not my thing anymore. I'm good having a few people over to play Rock Band. Haha. It's true though.
So I've talked to Jen, my big sis for those of you who don't know, today which was the first time since Christmas Eve. I guess she commented on my last blog. Haha I know this now. So she gave me some good pointers in the comment she left about trying to lose weight. The problem is that I don't really like walking by myself and Woki just doesn't want to. I asked him. And I have the worst time working out to videos. However I love lifting weights and the whole atmosphere of the gym. I think I may just invest in a good one and go for the membership. The question is do I go for the one closest to home or to work? Oh the dilemma! hmm! Anywho, Jen made an amazing proposition earlier that would probably help me to lose weight as well. Here's the scoop:
Our father owns a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda that could use a little help. Actually it was a project car that he invested in for he and I to work on together, a sort of father daughter thing. However things don't always work out the way you plan and some things just end up sitting out in the snow unfinished. What actually happened is that my brother caught wind of this so called project and decided to so to speak take over. The problem is that he never finished it and was so wishy washy and very controlling of the whole thing even though he was never really invited in on the project in the first place. So anyway, the car is now sitting in our father's yard covered in snow and Jen suggested that we, meaning she and I, take on the project again and try to finish it by summer so we can actually enjoy it, as well as our father who is currently in a wheelchair. So I ran the idea passed dad today and he laughed and wondered how I talked Jen into the whole idea and then when exclaimed that it was her idea, his jaw dropped so fast. It was pretty funny. I think he seemed scared at first but warmed up pretty quickly to the idea that 2 of his girls were actually interested in working on a classic car. So needless to say, he okayed the project.
So aside from blogging about new flavors of jams and what sweet experiments I will be undertaking, Jen and I will be doing a sort of "joint blog" (without so much as joining them) about our '67 Barracuda Project. Great idea, Jen! I'm totally down! When do we start?!
So everyone I'm on my way to bed. It's 12:18am. In the words of Eddie Murphy's character, Billy Ray Valentine in the movie Trading Places, Merry New Year!!! I hope this year will be that much better than the last. Ciao!
