Happy New Year everyone! I don’t have a whole lot to say about it at this point really. I sat at home in the livingroom by myself all night, watched some tv, played some video games and then went to bed around 1am. I did watch the final episode of Royal Canadian Air Farce. It was so sad at the end! I’ve loved that show since the first time I saw it! They had 5 chicken cannon targets, one of them being CBC for their bad programming decisions (at this point there was a wink), and before they did the fifth, special guest Ron McLean asked if he could do his own special target. For those who know who Ron McLean is it’s easy to guess who his target was…Don Cherry. He did this weird creepy laugh when telling what he’d put in the cannon as ammo; cherries, grapes, ugly ties (I thnk that was all…that’s all I can remember anyways lol). It was quite funny. I almost felt like crying when they all said goodbye, probably a little bit because having had a bad day/night I was a little emotional. It seems like every few years I have a bad New Years Eve.

Anyways, I don’t do the resolutions, but I did make a goal for myself. I’m going to at least have figured out where and what I’m getting printed. I’ve been wanting to get art cards and postcards printed of my own photography so I can sell them. I’ve been half-assed when it’s come to figuring out how much it’s going to cost and how to set up my site. So my goal is to have a plan and at least be close to executing it by the end of 2009. I say close to executing it because we’re hoping to go to Europe in September so I may not have enough start up money saved up on the side to get it done this year. I got a lot of encouragement from family at Christmas brunch this year when everyone saw my calendar and photo tray I made for my gramma. It was very motivating. I think the hardest thing besides the money is going to be the site. I’m having a hard enough time finding a gallery script I like (mostly because I want to beable to embed it into my current site), let alone sorting and updating my photos and then figuring out the whole store script thing. sigh

Something else I need to do this year is go out and take more pictures. I need to get the dummies book for my camera so that I can learn quicker how to make all the settings work. I find that when I read the manual I don’t totally know what some of the things mean. I flipped through the dummies book when I was the book store before Christmas and it seemed like it had a lot of good info in it. I’ve been trying to find local places I could go to get some pictures too, since I’ve taken far too many of places within walking distance from where I live. So far I’ve found a few parks that I’m going to try. I’m hoping that I can find some wildlife around too.

One good thing to start of the New Year…I found I’ve lost a bit of weight. For the past few years I’ve hovered around an average weight and when I checked last night I was 10 pounds lighter then that weight. I had been a little under lately, but never that much so hopefully that will be my new “average” weight. I still have quite a bit to go before I’m considered healthy by the Health Book standards, but I’m still happy!

And that’s all I suppose…I meant for this blog to sound less rambly then it has, but oh well. I guess this is what a blog is for.
