Long time, no blogging...

It usually takes me awhile to get back into the swing of things once the Holidays are over.  This is the reason that I haven't felt like blogging.  I'm not real good at planning my little breaks.  I usually, just take them without warning.  Mostly because I don't know that I am taking them.  Time goes by and blogs are not written.

On a side note, the family is taking a brief trip next weekend.  I will be back later with pics, and hopefully before then as well.  :-)

I am top-tenning today.

How about a top ten of things that need to change now that the Holidays are over and reality has set in?

10.  My eating.  Oy VEY!!!  I have begun tracking my food again, and this weekend I have crashed through the treat points we get every week, and have moved into my activity points.  This is coming from the girl that rarely if ever used any treat points or activity points.  It's good to slap myself upside the head with this.  Weight will not come off if I eat fried foods and forget about my vegetables.

9.  My Super Mario Bros. addiction needs to be tamed.  I love to play this game and want to WIN!!

8.  I have to get back into the swing of school.  I have to read my text book, not just my Kindle.  This sucks.

7.  I need to find work clothes again.  We have been having mostly jeans days, and now I need to wear work pants again. 

6.  Dance class begins again.  There go my Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings!

5.  I need to stop shopping.  I'm serious.  Since Christmas, I have bought a new purse (needed), Clinique face care and makeup products, and gotten my hair cut (bought product).  I am planning the colors to dye my hair in a few months, and purple is in the top spot right now.

4.  Exercise.  I ran 1.05 miles today!!  Now, let's see how I feel tomorrow.

3. The Christmas decorations have been removed.  Boo.  At least I didn't have to remove them, the hubs did it for me.

2.  Cooking.  I need to cook real food for my family, not just cakes, cookies and breads.  As good as they may be, we all need a dose of healthy right now.

1. Start planning for next Christmas.  We may have an idea on how to get the girls a puppy - for Christmas, on Christmas morning!  Won't that be exciting!!  That is, as long as we have a Christmas in 2012.
