I had been thinking of writing some poetry lately and thought I would share two of my favorites. They are sort of depressing, but I still like them.
The Road Not Takenby Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passi...
Yep, did 20 minutes yesterday on the treadmill. As soon as I am done here, I'm going for my 20 on the treadmill for today. I earned 2 activity points yesterday for my walk which is cool.
Not planning on doing much today, maybe some Rock Band 2. I downloaded a few songs for it–Hit Me With Your Best Shot by Pat Benatar, Bring Me To Life by Evanescence, Call Me by Blondie, and Another One Bites the Dust by Queen. I wish there were more available for download like some Heart, Joan Jett, Def...

Today I'm back on treadmill trying to get back on the healthy way. I'm joining AM and a few of her friends on an upcoming blog for 2010 on our journey of weight loss. Our goal: lose a supermodel. LOL I'm getting back on Weight Watchers and exercising while the others are doing their own programs from Jenny Craig to whatever. I like Weight Watchers. It works for me. I lost 30lbs this year on it. I gained a few lbs. back thought. Not much, but a few. (Less than 10.) I am going back on it and...

I removed my ex from my friends at FB. Geez. Apparently teenage nieces of his wife's were feeling protective. Yeah, a generic Xmas greeting caused them to get bent out of shape.
I don't have the patience or desire to get wrapped up in some drama I never saw coming. Some people have nothing better to do with their time

Meanwhile as I live my life (aka enjoying the holidays with my family) I got called a stalker again on my Ex's FB profile. Not by him. Only way I know is by getting an email saying someone commented on my Christmas greeting post on his Wall. Ugh. Some people seem to look for drama where none exists.
Anyway, I went down to Tally to the mall (Ugh!!) for Build a Bear Workshop with the kids. They enjoyed themselves. No, I did not get a new bear. I did pick up an outfit though–a rocker shirt and...

Everyone have a good Christmas? I did. My kids were practically bouncing off the walls the entire day. The dolls were a hit. 
Rock Band 2 was a hit with the adults. Ahem. Me. I love it. The kids played with my brother (on No Fail mode) and I laughed at how bad he sang. And I thought some of the Karaoke folks I've heard were bad. I tried the drums, bass and guitar. I am actually good at the guitar. It is really very very fun. I gave The Beatles RB game to the hubby, but we haven't played...

I'm not overly chatty lately.It is partly the holiday and partly from allergies flaring up. Went to the doctor's today and everything is fine. I didn't even have elevated BP, which is always good. So I must be handling things okay.
Tomorrow night I have quite the spread planned. Got cheese and then chocolate fondue on the menu, which is a lot of fun. I did it last year and the kids loved it. Heck, I liked it.
I still have to wrap some presents before tomorrow night.I guess I will do some...
