I need to loose weight big time and so does my grandson so I challenged him to see which of us can loose 30 pounds the quickest. Since he's 15 and 6'4" he probably has a better chance than I do but I figure we'll both be winners in this contest.
My next goal is to learn to scrapbook with Photoshop Elements. This is one accomplishment I intend to persue with diligence since I've had the program for years (began with v1, now have v7) but haven't gotten very far with learning how to use it. I have other digital scrapbooking programs that are far easier to use so I've chosen the easier road so far. Thing is that I just can't do all the things I want to do with the quickie programs so I'll just have to buckle down and learn to use this extremely "user unfriendly" program. I've also been not too happy with the photos made with my little point and shoot Sony Cybershot. It's handy and I carry it with me always but sometimes I want to take closeups from a distance and the camera isn't designed for this. Can't afford an SLR so I did the next best thing. For my 10th anniversary with the company where I work I got to choose a gift from a catalogue and selected binoculars with digital camera. Should be here any day now and hopefully will help with some of the nature shots I'm always trying to take.
My next resolution is to clean out my "junk room" aka my library. Over the years this room has accumulated all the items I couldn't throw away but didn't have a place for. You wouldn't believe how much stuff I can pile in one medium sized room. The room is actually lined with book shelves and over a thousand books but forget trying to get to one of them. All my current books are now located in my computer room aka guestroom or sewing room.
This leads to my next resolution for 2009 - bone up on sewing techniques and use some of my fabric stockpile (10 boxes full and located in the "junk room"). Does this give you the idea that I'm a collector? Well you would be right. But as I've gotten a bit older and hopefully wiser, the time has come to stop collecting and start using or disposing. I'll be 65 on my next birthday so the time is right to do something about this propensity to collect.
