(We've been in the same house for 14 months now, which means a move will be announced anytime now =P) Would be nice to gain more muscle and endurance. No goals, really.

I had a GREAT 2006, investment-wise, and I hope to have an even better 2007. Of course, all kinds of external factors come into play, but still. <BR/><BR/>Also, like Meredith, I am also always looking to break personal records. I had a great 2006 in that regard also, setting new records in preacher curl (156 pounds), military press (235 but I need to double-check that one), shoulder shrug (6 reps of 315 pounds, but I sprained my wrist in the process!!!), and squat (425 pounds....only 100 pounds less than Holley Mangold, but I did six reps as opposed to her single rep).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131050.post-1167410745913190542006-12-29T11:45:00.000-05:002006-12-29T11:45:00.000-05:00That's a tough question, flatman. Even though Mere...That's a tough question, flatman. Even though Meredith thinks I'm an old goat, both of these guys were before my time. I am admittedly not a fan of James Brown's music (I'm a lifelong metalhead), but he was in my second-favorite movie of all time, "The Blues Brothers." So, his death does sadden me. I knew next to nothing about Gerald Ford until he died, but since then I have learned a LOT after reading the plethora of news articles regarding him. He seemed like a genuine nice guy, and not your typical (i.e., crooked) politician. He never lusted after the Presidency; his ultimate goal was to be Speaker of the House. <BR/><BR/>But either way, both lived very full lives, and that is good. They weren't cut down in their prime, like the celebrity death that saddened more than any other celebrity death: "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, murdered right here in Columbus just two years ago. <BR/><BR/>My question: do you think 2007 will be a better or a worse year than 2006?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131050.post-1167407267371681052006-12-29T10:47:00.000-05:002006-12-29T10:47:00.000-05:00My main goal for the new year is shedding this win...My main goal for the new year is shedding this winter coat of fat that I have amassed.<BR/><BR/>Were you more sad when you heard the news about Gerald Ford or James Brown?:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17613685986312715512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131050.post-1167347578942999302006-12-28T18:12:00.000-05:002006-12-28T18:12:00.000-05:00oh this is fun.I got a beautiful ornament from my ...oh this is fun.<BR/><BR/>I got a beautiful ornament from my daughter and a strand of pearls from my husband.<BR/><BR/>What is your main goal for the new year?Runner Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338914642832129177noreply@blogger.com
