Happy New Me Year

One thing that gets to me about those really cold days is the tendency towards a little extra television-watching. However, when Luna asks to watch Peep and the Big Wide World—a cute animated program designed to teach science and math to preschoolers—with the Spanish language option turned on, well, how can I complain? In fact, I'm going to call that one a threefer (Science, Math, and Spanish instruction) and get started on my personal goals for 2008.

The first of these goals is to give myself a break, for crying out loud, and relax. Hence, my ability to sit here and post to my weblog while my children watch a DVD in the middle of the day. And that brings us to another of my personal goals for 2008: to post to my weblog with a bit more regularity than once every quarter of a year.

Note: I use the words "personal goals" because "Resolutions" sounds so formal, and, you know, destined for failure.
