So google blogger just caught up to the world of simple when it comes to blog stats. I've never paid attention to comments as I never thought anyone read this.
Therefore the question, how do you find blogs? I find them by links or favorites from ones I already read. So how did I find the ones I read? from other ones I read... I'm not sure about that infinite loop. So I'll guess I must have been referred. Then followed links. Guest posts, etc. until arriving at the crazy reader list I have now. Truly I know four people on my reader list. Personally, that is. I feel like I know them all - in a creepy stalker kind of way.

Consider it your referral
So I know I never write. I never call either. But for my reader and a half (You know who you are) I am recommending if you still hang around here that you go hang around here too. That's my sister. She is fun, funny, a better writer than me and she'll post more often than once per year. Yep. Practically perfect in every way. You'd think this would lead to jealousy. Nope, it leads to me referring you to her. You're going to like her blog.
Seriously. Go.
Why are you still here?
Go here... http://stinkyangels.blogspot.com

We are family (too)
do do do do do do do di. (if you don't hear the song then apparently the music is just in me.)
I read this blog post today, and it made me think of my family. If you've got time, read her brother's post too. Ness writes:
"God gives you family for lots of reasons. The main one is to make you a better person. They alternately annoy the fire out of you and love you. The best part is happening now, with all of us figuring out how to forge friendships with one another that go way beyond just being related. I miss them. I miss them all like crazy." Happiness is a Butterfly.

Resolving in 09
I'm resolving to be happy and healthy and grow me in 2009 - not weight wise, but personal growth. Better person and such.
Back to routines after the holidays, we head to the gym this morning. And I should have expected it, the gym was packed! The locker room, the main equipment studio, the upstairs walking track. I jogged on a treadmill upstairs by the track, an area I usually don't use, so while on the treadmill I watched people walk and jog around the track, watched myself in a mirror, and listened to music for 20 minutes and a little over a mile.
It's exciting to see people wanting to take hold of their health and resolving to get fit, and the positive side of me says yay for healthy fit people in 09! Funny enough, Ry had no issue having his own lane in the pool and said the men's locker room was no busier than normal. I am making an uninformed hypothesis here, but it must be women who resolve to loose weight.

Busy M Weekend
Em and her mommy came to visit this weekend. We had a busy weekend. Just a quick rundown for the blog (and new goal, post 1 x per week... can she do it?)
To start with, we ate broccoli and peas. Then we slept. We woke up and we ate rice and we played with books and then we slept. And we ate potato and we smashed on the keyboard and we ate blueberries and we slept and we chewed on stuff and we pet a kitty and we waved our magic wand and we chewed on our magic wand. Then we slept. We ate peaches and we ate more broccoli and we ate more potato and we slept. And we played with the kitty and we climbed mount everest all by ourselves and we found our mommy and we slept.
Seriously busy weekend. Proof I'm not ready for a kid yet.

b) G Gets $2.8 Million from Industry Canada (maybe as a grant?)

Your words are a choice
Every one. No matter what you may think. Every word that you speak is a choice you make. Now to make it a conscious choice.
Here I sit, listening to hold music, waiting to see what has occurred that is causing my catering order to have not shown up. It is now officially 50 minutes late. When it was 20 minutes late they called to tell me 10 more minutes. That would make 30 minutes (for those math inclined). Now I've been on hold for 6 minutes.
This is decision time, choose my words. Tendency would be to use angry ones. So instead I choose to use few. And a patient tone. I wonder how this would go if I went the other way. I know I would leave the conversation angry. I might leave it angry anyway. But what about the other person. I could effect their entire day by not yelling. Instead of being the angry customer who ruined her day, I could just be another customer.
