Welcome to 2008

Welcome to 2008... I am still not sure what the theme is for this New Year, last year I was excited to be done with school, this year I am starting teaching but ... still don't know how all of that will go.... so I haven't decided what 2008 will be yet - but I know one thing, it will be March before I remember to write 08 on everything. I just got used to 07.

Had to go back to work today after a much needed long vacation.... Bill & I were couch potatoes for most of the break, just hanging out, playing our new Wii and watching football and movies. It was great, I am pretty sure it was the most consecutive time we have spent at home in over a year.

We did buy a new Wii before the holidays and since neither of us are really videogame people it has been funny trying to figure out how to play. I am addicted to the mario galaxy game which I am sure anyone who has played the original Mario would love. It is 3d and if you can imagine, Mario walks around worlds and is upside down and sideways, making it very interesting to try to control him. Also, the Wii remote controls are different than any other remote. For example when bownling you move the remote just as you would bowl, tennis you swing - forehand and back, etc.... so at least it is amusing at all times.

Not much else happening right now, other than a ton of snow in my road and driveway.... but Friday morning I will be heading down to sunny Florida for work, so maybe I will catch some sun and sand down there .....

Here's hoping your New Year was great and wishing you luck on your New Years resolutions, whatever they may be.
