I love movies. And as I took in a $3 matinee today to see One For The Money, I realized there is a boatload of new movies I have to add to my must-see list. Movies like The Hunger Games, Man on a Ledge, Contraband, The Vow, Mirror Mirror, This Means War…

ARRRRGH!!!

Why does it seem they all release at once?? I’ll go for long, long months without a new release catching my eye but then–BAM. There’s even a Nicholas Sparks-based movie coming out that looks interesting which ticks me off because the man swears he doesn’t write romance (and scoffs at anyone comparing his work to romance–ha!) and yet the preview depicts it as a romance through and through. And I want to see it, too! *thud*

So how about you? Any movies catch your eye???

So how’s everyone doing??? Keeping up with those New Year resolutions?

I didn’t make a resolution this year but rather set a goal to eat healthier. After years of dieting, thyroid trouble etc, I’m focusing on health rather than the scale. And after watching Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, I’m more determined than ever. So since January first I’ve been eating more fruits, tons more vegetables, and steering clear of sugary desserts. When I want something bad-for-me, I grab fruit. And while I know you can have too much of a good thing, for now I’m just trying to focus on the first baby step of eating more of the stuff I should have been eating all along.

And what I’ve noticed so far? My nails are growing like crazy. My nails NEVER grow, so this is a very good thing.

How are you doing with your goals/resolutions? Check in and tell us about it.

Sorry I’ve been MIA. Getting back into the swing of things after the new year has been harder than I thought. Have you discovered any great new reads I need to check out? If so please pass them on! We have snowy weather headed our way so I’m more than ready to put my Amazon gift card to use.

Hope you’re having a great week!

Happy New Year! I realize a day late but what can I say? It’s family time.

Before I forget, A HERO IN THE MAKING is now available! Look for your copy wherever books are sold. I’m heading back into my writing cave on Wednesday when the fam goes back to school so the countdown is on to squeeze in a wee bit more fun before those school bells ring. That’s why I’ve been so scarce. I’m going to work on getting my newsletter out sometime today or tomorrow and I’ll announce the winners of my December contest. Good luck!

But in the meantime… Are you a resolution maker? I used to make them, but it’s more of a goal thing for me now. And after a year of feeling icky and too many doctor visits to count, this year I hope to stay OUT of the doctor’s office and regain some energy. That means… eating better, exercising more, taking more time to de-stress, and having more fun. Hold me to that, okay? What’s up with knowing we need to do those things but not actually doing them? *sigh*

Anyone else making this year their year of good health?

So, I have a few goals in mind. Do you? Do you have a plan to achieve those goals? My plan is still a work in progress but we’ll see how it goes.

No, I’m not talking about The Crash Before Christmas, I’m talking about the after Christmas blahs. Too much food, too many late nights, too much *insert gripe here*. I’m fighting off a cold so I went to bed last night before 8PM and wound up sleeping fourteen hours. When I finally came to the nasty headache was gone but the blahs? Eh. Not so much. LOL I enjoyed the day spent in sweats, watching the kids play with new games etc. It was just what I needed.

How was your holiday? Did you receive/give any great gifts?
