A little bit of update

Hi all!
How is everyone doing? All's good here. Kinda quiet around this blog, eh? I see a few of you signed on as contributors....well?

The big news recently is that Jack and I are moving to a new apartment. It will be very very close to both of our works (we currently drive about 40 minutes each way), which will be a big help on the ol' gas budget. We're also getting a two bedroom, a dishwasher, our own water heater, a fitness center and 3 pools! We're very excited to finally be moving up. We got a great deal, and we'll also be closer to family (right now we live far south and most everyone in the family lives north).

Our move-in date is Feb. 25, so stand by for an address and phone number change.

Hope all is well!

Love,
Steph

new year, new ideas

Hi all! I hope everyone is having a good new year. If you made any resolutions and are sticking to them, good for you, keep it up, champ!! Although it is only 9 days into 2006, life is starting to get back to normal. We have all these hopes and ambitions for all the shiny new opportunities and habits we plan for ourselves when a new year rolls around. Then life just kind of, well, goes back to it's same ol' routines. Because a new year doesn't mean a whole new life. It's just a date change.

Well, how about thinking smaller? Creating little excercises for change and going on tiny adventures making wee discoveries? Just making yourself smile by doing something a little out of the ordinary is easy. It can boost your creativity and activity and joy, thereby boosting your physical and mental health a bit.

I'm loving this List of 100 ideas...a work in progress. It's just a fun list of small things to do and try.

Do you guys have any ideas? Leave 'em in the comments.

(p.s. I made a post in the Young blog last March with a smaller list of silly things by the same person.)
