Bermuda!

So my sister has convinced me to go with her and our grandparents on a Bermuda cruise.  In October we will be going on our first cruise!  We are both currently working on getting our passports.  Hers is already in the works.  I still need to get my birth certificate, so mine will take a little longer.  But at this rate, we will both have passports before our trip.

I might even be able to warm mine up by flying around on one of our trips that goes out of the US.  I'm almost as excited about getting my passport as I am about the cruise!  I've never been on a cruise ship and this one look huge.  We will have a bit of time to hang out and explore the area while we are there and I will make a valiant effort to fill my 16GB memory card on my camera. 

I can't wait.  259 days!

Pull- apart bread

This just totally made the list of thing to make SOON!  I even already have all the ingredients except for the yeast.

2012

So it is officially 2012.  As usual, I have a couple resolutions for the new year.

Last year I paid off two of my three credit cards.  This means that number three is on the chopping block for this year.  It has the highest balance so it's going to be a bit of a challenge.  But I think the most challenging part will be that, with Dale in school, I won't be able to attack this one as hard as I did the last two.  We'll see how it turns out.

The second resolution is to lose some weight.  I have already started to attack this one!  My mom steered me to an app that follows your phone's GPS as you walk and tracks how many calories you've burned.  I can share these walks on Facebook, too. 

My mom and I share our walks and get a little competitive with them.  She walks in the morning with the dogs. She has a nice place that is away from civilization a bit, so she can walk on the soft ground instead of a hard sidewalk, which is nice. 

Dale and I have been exploring a bunch of new places to walk.  With the weather getting colder we have been looking into more indoor places such as malls.  On warm days we go to parks, but those are getting rare.  But it's getting me out and moving, which is the point.

What resolutions do you have? How are you working on them?
