How do ya like my new look? Matt helped me find and set it up. I liked my last one.. it was one of my own pictures, but it was time for something new. This is very “me” and it feels welcoming and friendly… what do you think?
We had surprise company for Christmas yesterday. Kind of changed our day but it was fun. Today was really great. Matt let me sleep in until noon!!! and then we played Wii and ate leftovers.. and then did my blog. Nice relaxing family day… with no expectations.
Ok… I gotta tell you … if you have the Wii and want to use it to get exercise, then you HAVE to get this. I played for about half an hour and that was all I could handle. I was huffing and puffing and sweating. Yet it didn’t feel like I just “exercised.” I was just having fun playing some games. I can’t wait to try it again. It gives me great hope for my endeavor to loose weight and get healthier!
I stumbled across a book I am dying to read. I have only read positive comments on it but it doesn’t seem to be in mainstream sales yet. Check it out! If you’ve read it.. let me know what you think of it.
Anyway… I hope you had an awesome Christmas and I am looking forward to blogging with you in 2009! Maybe it will be my year to finish a book and be published.. who knows.. it’s worth dreaming about and pursuing wholeheartedly as is my intention! Come by and cheer me on anytime…

First of all, I LOVE the new blog look. It is definitely you.
Second, I need to check out that Wii game you mentioned. Anything that makes losing weight fun is cool in my book.
Glad you guys ahd a great Christmas. I am definitely around to cheer you on as you pursue writing a book. Good luck with that.
Well, this is my first visit, so I don’t know what you had before, but I like this one. Very happy and warm feeling
Looks Awesome Shirley!!!
Hi Shirley! I LOVE your new look. You and Matt make a very good team. I still think you should go into business together:)
The only thing that’s weird is the comment button at the top of the article. I’ll get used to it, though, I guess:) Hard to teach an old dog new tricks, tho, you know:)
Love you lots! Hope today finds you having a GREAT day, too!
Really like the new look of your blog.
Very warm and inviting.
Wishing you a wonderful 2009!
It’s GORGEOUS, Shirley! LOVE the new look, my dear. We want a Wii. But I’m NOT envious. Nope! Not even a little (ummm well…..:P) LOL and I see that once I press “enter”, there will be two “Joanne”s in a row. May have to go check out “the other one.” (I’m the original, of course! hehe)
really like the new look! It’s very cheerful! And, I am trying to convince Jim that we need to buy Wii…but haven’t been successful so far! I think there’s just too many things on the list that we need more than that!
Your blog looks great! I’ve bookmarked it and will be back again.

I’m so happy to read this, it’s exactly why the Wii Fit worked for me. I played for at least an hour every day but time flew by because I wasn’t suffering. I added your button, Happy New Year!
