Happy New Year's!
As the subject line says. Today marks the beginning of a brand new year. It's still got all the same old stuff as the old year, but thinking about it as something new makes it seem fresh. It's all good.
I haven't made a resolution this year... Last year I resolved to lose weight, I think. I have done that. I'm actually 40 pounds lighter than I was last year, although I am 20 pounds heavier than I was in the summer. Working on that still, but it's not a huge rush. At the moment, I am not gaining and if I don't do things like I did last night very often, I'll probably start gradually losing again. Not as dramatically as last year, but steady.
Cody and I had Sarah and Tylor over last night, and we all played Mario Party 8. That was fun, but the game was looooong. Cody and Tylor both got toasted. It was amusing.
Today Cody and I had brunch with my parents and two of my sisters, and then we went to see The Golden Compass. That movie was very good. I can't remember exact details about the book (I haven't read it in a while) but the movie seemed to have captured a lot of its essence. It was a little rushed, but that was to be expected. Cody still enjoyed it and was able to follow it, so I don't think it's necessary to have read the book, but it probably helps.
The fact that the movie ended before the end of the book was kind of annoying, but I can see why they did it if they wanted to keep the PG rating. I'll be interested to see how they begin the second movie (if they make it).
Gotta re-read the book series now... Hehe...
Anyway, Happy New Year's to everyone!
