New Year, New Blog Entry

Once again I am deciding to blog. Here it is:

So I want to begin by saying that I have started a new resolution to read more. Lately I've slacked off and feel dumber for it. Right now I am reading Child 44. It's set in the Soviet Union and so far, very good. Next on my list is Shanghai Girls. My friend Erica is letting me borrow it. Supposedly it's excellent as well! My goal is to read at least two books a month. I think that is MORE than reasonable especially if I keep the t.v. turned off.

Trooper: poop looks as if it's returning to normal. I really hope so. I hope he settles down too, manner wise. He acts like a kangaroo around people. I need to start socializing him ASAP. As soon as he gets his last shots.....Back to the poop, I think I am traumatized from it all. I hope I return to a sense of feeling secure that I won't be running outside every hour, every night. It really messed with my mental and physical well being.

I've been going to church and it's been excellent. This past sermon was on Toxic Relationships and I got a lot out of it. It has given me a lot to think about. I wish Doug could have been there because I think he would have gotten a lot out of it too. There was one thing in particular that stood out to me.

So January is shaping up to be a fun month and I have a lot planned. This past weekend was a lot of fun and going forward, I have many social events in the works. I plan to go to the Home and Garden Show with Angela, to Rocky's house for a party, out to eat with some friends of mine, and maybe even to a show to see a band play with some friends. I'm really trying to make an effort to do more, socially speaking. I feel like I've wrapped up every weekend with going to Cville but it feels nice to relax, hang out in Roanoke, and hang out with friends and do fun things. Sometimes I feel as if I have few friends but the fact is, lots of people want to do things with me, I just never do it! Big change in 2011.


Can't wait for warmer weather so I can run. I've jogged a bit with Trooper and I realize I miss doing it, even though I did it only for a short time!

Okay that is it, blog. I will try to keep up more often. :)
