Resolutions

Justin and I have decided that 2010 is the year we start putting ourselves at the top of our priority list. It's not like someone else has occupied that spot...we've simply been in survival mode for the last two years. 2009 was managed with caffeine and beer (not always in conjunction except for some "cowboy coffee porter" we had...it was awesome!) but there are no excuses for 2010. The 3 W's (white hair, weight gain, and wrinkles) have caught up to us. Parker now practically sleeps through the night, allowing me to contemplate doing something other than turning on the espresso machine first thing after waking up (did you think I was going to say cracking open a beer? there were days I was tempted).


Justin's pursuit of the fountain of youth led him to join the YMCA. The last few weeks he has committed to riding a spin bike, swimming in the pool, and lifting. I, on the other hand, have decided to try something new and take a pilates class. It's only once a week and through the adult ed. program in town so it's not aggressive or intense...just an introduction. So far I really enjoy it and I haven't been too sore so I'm either doing it wrong or not as bad of shape as I thought.


My other indulgent endeavor has been a sewing class, also taught through adult ed. Justin calls it home ec which is appropriate considering a former high school home ec teacher teaches us but she's great and I've already completed the first project: a pillowcase! Tomorrow we'll learn about adding zippers and hemming garments. I hope to proudly post pictures of everything I make in my class and maybe even a few projects I take on outside of it.



I may be 30 and Justin's on his way but we're not giving in to aging just yet. Here's to living life to the fullest in 2010!
