Resolved: To lead a more balanced life in 2015 by organizing my time better. Why CAN'T I close my blinds and write for an hour at lunch? I AM sitting in front of a computer. Then it will be eaiser to get my daily exercise in and a few non-cereal dinners. It will be a big year here with a baby and I am going to take up knitting--OMomK makes beautiful things and she is going to teach me. I am sure mine will look more homemade and less Rodeo Drive baby store, but it should be fun.
Our first compilation card: we were never all together. Mr. Fix-it and I were with the kids at all these events: a wedding, water polo tournament, Red Rocks Ampitheater, Grand Canyon and my fantabulous Mod Mod 50th Birthday SURPRISE party.
So far 50 feels fine. Which is good, because one doesn't have a choice. I was momentarily delighted at Grownup Girl's sonogram today (all good so far) and when she was in the bathroom the tech came in and thought I was her. Then she made sure to tell me she sees people of ALL ages, so she never judges. Good to know.
We will go out tonight to friend's for a game night with 3 or 4 couples and good food and drink. And that seems ambitious but worth it. It can be easy to fall into not going out and I think going out is good. We had a blast at a brewery then pizza (with more beer) the other day with our water polo people--so fun to see all the young men. Sunday FunDay needs to happen more often.
Many firsts to happen at work--hiring people! Getting better with spreadsheets and reports. Whouda thunk it? I was going to teach 5th grade when I started the back-to-school journey. What a cool thing to have a record of your life like your blog.
I am off to visit you my blogging friends--for Auld Lang Syne.
I saw this on my FB friend Cathy's profile:
If your 2014 sucked, I hope 2015 is better. If 2014 is great, I wish you more of the same.
That!
You have much to be grateful for and deserve it all. Happy New Year!

I feel like Adrienne Barbeau (she was the daughter on MAUDE) had twins at 51, so it ain't over 'til it's over, O 50 Year Old. Maybe you'll have twins in 2016 to go with that grandbaby!
Baha.
I always love reading about your life, as it's a place of thought and vigor, as all good lives should be. Thanks for always bringing the positive, my friend.
