Happy 2011

Here it is.  A new year.  Were you ready?  I was and I am.  Lots of exciting things going on this year.  The Nephew ships out in 10 weeks for the Navy.  That's very exciting.  Big fat trip to Disney world in the works.  That is super exciting.  That's all the excitement I ask for though.  Sounds like enough.

What's new so far?  I'm in the process of stopping caffeine.  Now that my iron is coming under control, I'm thinking I won't need the pickme up anymore.  It's not easy breaking that habit.  I'm a little tired and grumpy but I think I'll be ok.  I'll treat it like facebook, I'll give it a month and see what happens. I survived coffee out with the ladies this morning.  I got an Odwalla super omega drink instead.  See?  So healthy in 2011.

I'm planning on working on the food intake to make it more iron friendly.  Another reason to get rid of caffeine, it blocks absorption of iron, as do a lot of other substances.  So I'm paying more attention to what blocks, what doesn't block and how to balance it all out.

I've made resolutions for the boys, which in turn become mine because they require me to enforce instrument practice time.

I think 2011 looks good so far.  Hopefully it remains as relatively uneventful as can be.  That makes it nice and peaceful.

Happy New Year
