My New Year's Resolution
That's my official 2007 New Year Sigh of Relief. Another holiday season is in the bag. There were no huge catastrophes. Everybody was happy, fat and gifted. We all survived, and now I'm looking forward to delicious normalcy!
Two major projects dominate this time of year in Juanitaville:
1. Weight loss
2. Garden planning
Weight loss, now that's a boring subject. I don't have a plan, just yet. But it must be done, (as always.) As soon as all this yummy Christmas candy is down the hatch, I'll be ready to start.
On to garden planning. I think 2007 might be the Year of the Japanese Maple. I've fallen in love with these breathtaking trees. Unfortunately, my yard is not exactly the showplace that one of these beauties deserves. But a girl can dream. I know! I'll plant one near my non-existent koi pond. The glistening water will reflect the crimson leaves... ahhhh. (Excuse me while I enjoy this little fantasy for a moment.)
The reality is this: My husband, in all seriousness, said that he wants to buy a few bags of concrete and pour them in the middle of our backyard to create a "temporary" basketball court for Little MJ. Just a small, hard patch of concrete so the boy can shoot some hoops. It would only be there for a few years, he assured me.
Sensing that the basketball court subject was dead, my husband proceeded to tell me that he would like to convert our formal dining room into a pool room. But if that doesn't suit me, he would be willing to compromise by putting the pool table in our living room.
Let me say this, dear readers...none of the scenarios mentioned above will ever come to pass! And THAT is my official resolution for 2007.

Pobre Pablo...
Here's a compromise for you...have him clean out and shore up the basement and he can have a pool table down there.
Pool table...ha ha ha ha ha! In full view of the passing public! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Even his parents, with their cool game room, had it on the third floor of their house. MJ can go to Vis to shoot hoops.
I laughed when I read about getting all of the good Christmas candy down the hatch before starting a weight loss plan. I had 5 chocolate covered cherries today...isn't that the "serving size"? Isn't that why they're in the trays of 5???
I hate New Years Res lets start our own shall we - whatever happens happens oh yes!
Happy New Year my friend.
