Nothing makes you feel better about yourself than to lose some needed pounds. Give yourself a big pat on the back!!<BR/><BR/>And how do you plan to find that "new person of interest?" <BR/><BR/>I have another fan/friend who has just signed up for an online dating service. Her first connection turned out to be a con man! Seriously, he tried to borrow over $2000 because he was out of the country and couldn't get his hands on the money he needed.<BR/><BR/>Right!!<BR/><BR/>But like I told her, that doesn't mean that all the men she will meet online are bad. You gotta give it a shot.<BR/><BR/>So . . . she's continuing on.<BR/><BR/>She told me tonight that I could blog about her some time. That should be fun.<BR/><BR/>Okay...have a great New Year and again, congrats on your weight loss and the best of luck to you on finding Mr. Right. You will keep us updated, right?<BR/><BR/>CCChristie Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838947086349600665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-86015921542365627482008-12-30T19:28:00.000-06:002008-12-30T19:28:00.000-06:00Sorry I'm so late.

My mom had surgery today and I just got back from the hospital. <BR/><BR/>I personally don't make New Year's resolutions because I'd rather not set myself up for failures. I prefer to set goals. Which can be modified throughout the year.<BR/><BR/>My goal for this year is to find a significant other. I've done the weight loss thing for the last couple years and lost 45 lbs. Now I've got to get out there and find Mr. Right. Which is easier said than done in todays world. <BR/><BR/>Best of Luck with your 2009 goals.

However, it's a great goal. I really would like to be able to read more. But since I read mostly at night before I go to bed, reading more would mean sleeping less. But some book are worth it. Yes, reading more is sort of like the goal to eat more chocolate. That would be so hard for me.<BR/><BR/>And Gotcha is scheduled for June 09.

It's hard because so many times those "out there" moments come back as rejections. But by not taking that chance, we rob ourselves of the chance to "Make it." So I expect to hear back from you soon and tell me you sent those queries out.<BR/><BR/>And seriously, I think balance is the key to happiness. I haven't mastered it yet, but I sure as heck have spent a lot of years trying to. <BR/><BR/>And sorry about the confusion with the poem.

(Smile)<BR/><BR/>And girl, I'm sending out positive vibes that all your wishes come true. And I believe because of your busting your backside comment that you'll get there. <BR/><BR/>I've learned and am relearning that our goals/wishes/dreams don't happen by themeselves. We gotta make them happen. And we have to keep striving for them everyday, with all our small every day choices. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping in.<BR/><BR/>CCChristie Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838947086349600665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-78493160758539438622008-12-30T07:46:00.000-06:002008-12-30T07:46:00.000-06:00I was reading that poem and then you slipped in th...I was reading that poem and then you slipped in the "bring in the new year" thing and for a second I thought that was part of the poem. What can I say, it's early.<BR/><BR/>Well, I think I already posted that I'm carrying over two goals from last year - the passport and the scandalously inappropriate affair (although I still have two days to accomplish this one!). I also plan to do some queries early this next year.<BR/><BR/>Goals I didn't already post include finding a balance between the things I <I>have</I> to do and the things I want to do - like school/work vs spending time with friends and getting in some reading time (I've been doing some cleaning and it's hard to justify spending more money on books when you have literally hundreds of unread books on the shelf!).<BR/><BR/>Making A's in all my classes (I'll probably apply myself to this one more than any others because I'm anal like that).<BR/><BR/>I'm sure there are more but those are the ones that immediately rise to the top of the brain. :)<BR/><BR/>Oh and great poem - with or without the "bring in the new year" confusion. :)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820350511791595345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-7190081201684061982008-12-30T07:39:00.000-06:002008-12-30T07:39:00.000-06:00Goals, huh?

Though I am working on that goal thing, joined a goal writing group!<BR/><BR/>I wish to have my new puppy house trained. (not holding my breath with this one until summer. He doesn't like the cold)<BR/><BR/>I wish to have my son potty trained. (this one's not looking too hot either. I need a timer to remind me to take him to the bathroom every hour or so)<BR/><BR/>I wish my body would get itself together, drop 15lbs, and my ovaries would act right so I can finally get busy on making that second baby without assistance from the doc!<BR/><BR/>I wish I'll get published and/or find my perfect agent match. How, you ask? Bust my backside, how else?<BR/><BR/>I wish I'll meet all my weekly word count writing goals I set out after. It sure would make the previous wish easier.Keri Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342480359177235075noreply@blogger.com
