Holy Cow!

Ok, I cannot believe that 2008 is over! Where did it go? The holidays were really good this year. The kids figured that since they were on vacation they should stay up late and have "hoopla" every night for two weeks! We stayed up late, ate too much junk, and played a lot through the holidays. It has been nice to have school start back up, I can't stay up late every night and still go to work day after day like I could when I was younger.
I hope that 2009 is better to my work than 2008 was. The economic down-turn has been really hard on the equipment rental business. So far this year has not been so good, I hope it picks up soon or I might be flipping burgers @ "Dirty Ron's" before I know it. I didn't pick one of those professions that doesn't have any down turns like doctor, lawyer, or mortician. I had to get into something that I like doing instead, something that is susceptible to the whims of the economy. Go figure.
All we can do is trust that the Lord will keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. In reality, that is all we can really ask for, anything else is just frosting on the cake. So far we have been blessed and have been able to make both ends meet. That is a blessing in itself.
I have set a goal to drop a pant size this year. I guess that means that I need to cut back on the junk food that I like so much. I was supposed to set a "fun" goal as well, I can't think of anything. How pathetic is that? I will have to work on the other one for now, until something fun comes to mind that I decide that I want to do.
