Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! As the first day of the post-holiday season, today also ends my 2-and-a-half week hiatus from exercise and worrying about what I was eating. It was fun while it lasted. I'm back on the band-wagon today, and I've got 5 days to try and get reasonably ready for a soccer game on Sunday.

Speaking of Sunday, this Sunday I got to cash-in on my birthday present from Amy and the girls by having a family trip to the Dolphins-Colts game on Sunday. Unfortunately, we didn't win, but it was close and came down to a Dolphins try at a Hail Mary pass at the end of the game. There was even an (unsuccessful) flea-flicker tried during the game, so that was exciting as well!

I made a make-shift "Cleo Lemon" jersey out of my Dolphins jersey to show my support for our quarterback who made his first NFL start today. Using duct-tape to make a "17" and also to cover the old name and write "Cleo Lemon" in it's place was a real crowd pleaser. I'm fairly certain I was the only one in the stands with a Cleo Lemon jersey - LOL. While in line for a dried-out-and-not-at-all-warm "hot" pretzel, and older guy behind me said "now he's a fine looking young quarterback who could do good things for your team in the future, good for you for supporting him!" I'm not sure how he can cast that judgement after seeing him play all of one half of a game, but hey, go Cleo!

Today we're off to the Children's Museum. Kaitlyn is off school until this coming Monday yet, and both she and Hailey (and Amy) have been sick since the day after Christmas. Today they seem to both be feeling well enough to do something (we hope).

Anyway, Happy New Year to all 7 people that read this!
