No Teacher Left Behind: We-be-bloggin'

What's your resolution, Candice?

Resolution:

I am not going to charge anything else...AT ALL! If I don't have the money to buy it, then I don't need it! Hehe...

Also, as always, the 'weight' thing. I have put on 19 lbs in the past year!!! AND, I just found out that my cholesterol is HIGH... so now I have more incentive than just getting back into my size 8 (that I was in 3 just three months after having Bella). When I told my dad my cholesterol results, he jokingly said, "See little pet, don't say I never gave you anything." THANKS DAD!!! ;)

What's Your New Year's Resolution, Elaine?

My resolution is to find a Place for everything in my life.  Clutter is overtaking me, and I want to put everything (and everyone) in the place that they belong.

What's Your New Year's Resolution, Myra?

Myra says:

Ok weight loss of course - But I have already succeeded at my new years resolution.......I cancelled my myspace account. I became addicted and had found over 100 friends I hadn't seen in years. It was AWESOME!!!! I lost all of them in a matter of 2 clicks of the button. It was depressing. I think I need counseling.......
