Happy New Year!

Fondue, veggies and bread cubes today to celebrate the new year. Grab a fork & dip in!

I hope everyone had a fabulous, long weekend. The Packers & Badgers both won their games, so it was a good football weekend. Although, there was some sadness. *holds Breezy for comfort* It doesn't sound like Favre will be back next year. Did anyone else see the game & watch his tearful interview at the end? When Driver carried him off the field, I said "uh oh." When his tears started streaming I said, "Waaahhaaaa!" *shares box of tissues with Breezy* There's still hope, but it's only a glimmer at this point.

I would tell you all about my NYE, but see resolution #3 below. I hope everyone had great parties or cozy nights on the couch.

Kim's New Year's Resolutions

1. Eat healthier: Eat fewer calories, eliminate junk food as much as possible, buy more organic foods, eat less red meat, drink less alcohol.

2. Continue exercising: This includes making a doctor's appointment to figure out a solution to my right leg problem. I roll my foot to the outside & it causes lots of pain when jogging. More about that with my Bloggest Losers.

3. Talk less about why my in-laws annoy me: Bite my tongue about my BIL, SIL, MIL, FIL. They are good people, although with lots of quirks, and don't always deserve the sh!t I talk about them. Sometimes they do, but me talking negatively about them has become a bit of a habit.

4. Spend more time with my sisters, doing sister things.

5. Really consider going back for my Master's or a certificate program.

Yep, I watched. And pretty much figured out it was the end of his career as soon as his tears started.

Breezy said...

wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh That was so horrible. I wanted to smack Andrea what'shername, upside her head and tell her to shutup. John Madden too. *sniff*

Zombs said...

Do you think he will wear cheese on his head too now with the common folk?

kim (weltek) said...

I know-that reporter should've just shut up and left him alone after a few questions. *kicks reporter girl*

I would die with laughter if Brett sat in the stands and wore a cheesehead.

I missed the game as I am not much into football these days.

If you follow through on #3 you may lose a lot of blog topics. Which means you will have to serve more snacks to keep us coming! So it's a win-win kind of thing, isn't it?

I will reveal that my NYE complaints involved the constant use of the term "pole smoker" by my BIL. I asked if it were possible for him to sound any more homophobic. By about the fifth time (and some other annoying stuff by another male...the carnival worker), I went to bed.

Look this eat healthier crap is not going to affect our blog snacks here, is it?

As for your running problem, once your Doc gives you the green light, please, please, please go to a store that sells running shoes and other running performance gear. (In other words, an exclusive running store.) Skip the mega sports complex becuase they will have no idea what shoe will work for you. Be prepared to spend over 100 buck-a-roos for a pair of shoes that prevent pronation, supination...and take your old running shoes with you so they can see how you roll. (You know what I mean...)

Running is a wonderful sport with very little cost so it makes complete sense to treat your body to the right shoe.

And off topic: I think you should get Stir Elton a puppy.

*pikes Swami with fondue fork*

kim (weltek) said...

No puppies!

Yeah, we have a New Balance store and I probably should visit that. You are right, it's a good investment in a cheap sport (after all, I only spent 25 cents on my treadmill). :-)

Is it wrong that I fell asleep before the game ended? I apparently pissed my husband off, and I didn't want to sit downstairs with a grump. So I went to watch the game in bed.

Oh, and I'm not having any of the bread in here.

kim (weltek) said...

It's ok Boo, apparently I pisssed Chris off, too. Although he decided he was out of line by the time bed rolled around.

I sat on the couch during "Scene It Music" game play. There were five stools at the counter and six people. Thus, instead of standing, I sat on the couch about 2 feet away. Apparently, despite my active play in the game, that made me a party pooper.

Puffy said...

Why is the V before the R if his name is pronounced Farv? I recently re-watched "There's Something About Mary" and laughed when Ben Stiller (like me) couldn't pronounce "Favre."

Cheese fondue is my favorite meal.

kim (weltek) said...

Because he's Brett Favre and he can do anything he wants. :-)

I loved There's Something About Mary. Sigh.

mm said...

Ack! I missed the whole Favre thing. I'm so sorry, I had no idea. :( Seeing guys cry has got to be the worst thing ever.

*jumps on board with the eating healthier and exercise thing*

Schnookie said...

Happy New Year Kim!

Good for you on your resolutions. Your bloggie snacks better remain unhealthy though.

kim (weltek) said...

Seeing a guy football star crying is even worse, MM. The announcers at the Capital One Bowl (UW Badgers were playing) said you could hear a pin drop in the crowded hotel bar the night before (filled with WI peeps) when Favre was talking after the game.

mm said...

*poooot*

kim (weltek) said...

Yay! I was missing carey!

Zombs said...

Agrees completely with Monsty. It is probably the best exercise IMO. It is just you that you "battle" with. Also please if you do no music! Listen to your heartbeat as you run and your breathing. It is almost like a meditation for me. (well when I used to run)/cult running mantra.

Little trivia. DH jokes that he could have been Brett Favre since they were both born on the same day and year. I don't know why he would think that was better than what he has now!

kim (weltek) said...

I would NOT listen to music, however, I'm a little ADD. I can't jog for more than about five minutes without getting bored. The music is the only thing that keeps me from going nuts.

Monstah said...

Zombs will agree with me here. Once you transition from being a jogger into a runner, you will not be bored. You will know no sense of time...it is a Zen thing, really.

Coco said...

*wonders if running messes up Monsty-pie's hair*

Glowie said...

Favre really should retire. Know when to quit, dude.

*runs away*
*runs back in and grabs veggies to smoke*
*runs back out*

kim (weltek) said...

*ignores Glow*

*looks on shelf in pantry*

Yep, the fondue pot we bought who knows how long ago is still sitting there, never used, with the little forks still in plastic sleeves...

Anyone need a fondue pot?
