Something New

I'm not doing too well on the exercise resolution, but I've been learning lots of new things. Bruce got an Xbox Kinect for Christmas, so I thought I'd try out the "Dance Central" game for some exercise. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to turn it on and about another 15 to figure out how to use it. I finally got the hand motions working, but I haven't programmed in my voice yet. I danced to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face," and then spent another 15 minutes trying to figure out how to turn the controller off. Goodness, this is supposed to be a toy!!!

Resolutions

New Year's resolutions. Many people make them, but how long do they stick? In the 2011 quest to find my "style," I've made a few.

First, is to learn something new every day. Shouldn't be too difficult, especially since I have access to the internet.

Second, my style is more athletic, both in activity and look, so I propose to exercise every day and go on more adventures. Hopefully, the end result will also mean the loss of a few pounds.

Third, spend more time with family and friends. I swear, it seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the New Millenium. Time goes by so fast and people are so stressed out trying to keep pace. So I propose to do something nice for the people around me to make their day just a little bit brighter.

That last is a little schmaltzy, but aren't most resolutions???
