New Year!

So it is officially 2010 and there are resolutions to be made and possibly completed.

1)have a kick ass 30th birthday party with friends, family and Karaoke- Check

2)realize that my son is a rockstar at restaurants- Check

3) Grow out my natural hair and see what happens- after watching Oprah (yes I know I still watch it sometimes and I love it so sue me!) when Chris Rock was touting his "Good Hair" movie I realized I have had my hair chemically relaxed for 18 years! I have been making an effort to keep all the unneeded chemicals out of my life for a while but I never wanted to mess with what i knew about my hair. But since I was looking for yet another new hairstyle I said "hey why don't I find out what my hair is like without any relaxer". I was stressing about the decision for a couple days and then my husband with all his wisdom said "if you don't like it you can always get it relaxed again" ahhh so simple and true. So 4 months in I have a bunch of nappy curlies coming out of my head and ton of new hair products (I really like to shop for anything!) I will post pics when it gets interesting!

4) complete a Triathlon - whoa!!! Say what!, Yes I will be training for my first tri this year. Totally intimidated but I think I can do it:-)

July 31st is the All Womens Tri at Bluelake Park this summer and I have chosen this to be the place that I might die! 1/2 Mile swim, 12 mile Bike ride, 3.2 mile run. and before you ask, yes I am doing this for fun. I know CRAZY!! The good thing is that I actually have quite a few friends that do these on a regular basis and they don't die afterward so I am using that as inspiration.

It does feel good to start the year with some goals though, hopefully this will keep me in the gym and working out because I kinda like what is going on. who knew working out on a regular basis could help your jeans fit better. I should right a book or something about that.

Little man is growing up soooo fast! He is walking almost running around the house everyday getting into things and terrorizing Nala. He tries to pick her up and hug her sometimes but it does not really work since he can barely keep himself upright. He is turning into quite the communicator though. He has his "eat" and "more" signs down and his favorite words are "hot", "up" and "DAHHH!!". Hot and up are used for almost everything but daahhh is reserved for the knocking over of blocks in a very Godzilla trashes Tokyo fashion. I don't know where he got this from but it is hilarious. it sends me into fits of laughter very time he does it then it fuels the fire
