Okay Ladies!

It doesn't have an official name. Or an official "theme." Or even color scheme. Instead, it's a checkpoint in our road toward self-improvement.

I know. So corny.

Moving on......

Post away! Let's start with a new (attainable) habit or routine you'd like to work on this New Year?

I plan to submit my stories.... SOMEWHERE and try to get published. How's that for pie in the sky? Oh well. At least I can say I tried. -- Luoodles running out the door to the Mar o Walt, 13:11:38 01/04/05 Tue [1]

[> [> I keep telling you to send them to me (or at least copy me on them) so I can pass them along to some of the writers I know in town. I think some of your stuff is perfect for stand-up routines and comedy shows. Can you imagine a sitcom based on Luoodles' life?!?!?!?! LMAO -- KatRose, 15:36:09 01/04/05 Tue [1]

[> [> [> I've been to Lu's sitcom...er...house and believe me...she could give "Raymond" a run for his money. ROTFL! Lu--I think you MUST get those stories out to the general population. Especially since I have three of your Christmas letters as proof that "I knew you when" ROTFL! -- Katherine (hey Kat--how are ya!), 23:01:03 01/04/05 Tue [1]

[> [> [> [> I got my first Christmas letter this year and nearly cried myself sick with laughter! I called another friend (who knows of Luoodles, but hasn't interacted with her to my knowledge) and read her the letter. Both of us were cracking up. I was having a hard time reading it out loud through all the giggling! :-D -- KatRose, 15:11:07 01/05/05 Wed [1]

[> [> [> [> I think Lu needs a Luoodle-fied edited for the internet audience version of her Christmas letters, because I for one am trying to imagine the hilarity of what a Lu Christmas letter must entail! -- Aria, 15:45:33 01/11/05 Tue [1]

Habits I wish to have: A cooler temper. Walk more. Eat less Chocolate. Sew more. Look on the bright side more. Cut myself some slack. Unclutter my house or at least our room. Quit bugging my kids. Making it something attainable is tough.

[> [> PB, if you want to unclutter your house, I highly recommend www.flylady.com Both C and I love her. Wonderful, very helpful site. Check it out. -- Lisa, 21:35:08 01/04/05 Tue [1]

[> I picked very carefully this year. I think I might actually be able to keep them! So here goes: Respond to all email within 4 days, Make it to all of my 8:30AM classes and get more exercise. (I'm banking on either more snow so I can shovel or more melting so I can bike to school!) -- Canrane, 21:37:36 01/04/05 Tue [1]

[> [> Hmm..... an early class skipper, are you? I'm hoping for melting so you can ride your bike. I'm thinking I should turn my treadmill so it doesn't face the wall. But that's a lot of work -- C, 21:46:42 01/04/05 Tue [1]

[> My goal is to try to honor my brother by doing small things for people. He used to call a lot of people (mostly people who lost their spouses) every night so they'd have someone to talk to. Can't tell you how many people tell us they miss his nightly check-ins. -- Katherine, 23:06:29 01/04/05 Tue [1]

[> Okay, I have to remember how to post on this type of MB again! My goal for the new year is to lose at least 10 lbs by March. I'm taking a trip to NYC and would like to get some nice clothes to wear to the Big Apple. I also would like to become more organized and learn how to cook. I'm tired of eating freeze dried processed chicken chunks all the time. Well those are my biggies. -- Sara, 17:40:03 01/05/05 Wed [1]
