Dear Readers,
Here’s to wishing you a safe, healthy, restful holiday! I will be the hostess for multiple family gatherings in the next few days and am planning on a few days off of blogging. Will be back on Boxing Day ready to start planning 2009!
Miscellany:
A photo for KCH is here. This was my Grandmother’s mothers and I have no idea how to use it. It’s just part of the family heirlooms that I happen to have.
For the holidays, I have prepared from scratch meat lasagna, butternut squash lasagna, and tiramisu. In addition, there will be several veggie dishes served, but, I am planning on enjoying the holiday food!
As for a workout, there will still be something done on each day. Heavy lifting tomorrow and hopefully a family bike ride on Christmas day. If nothing else, grab a jump rope for 15 minutes and go HARD!! We enjoy exercise as much as we enjoy the food.
Start Planning!! I am currently in the process of formulating my 2009 goals. Now is the time to write yours as well. If it is to lose 5 pounds of body fat, complete your first 5km, finish a triathlon, run a marathon or try out new workouts, now is the time to start thinking about it.
Reading: I am currently enjoying another book by Jodi Picult called My Sister’s Keeper and although the subject matter is rough- it’s been a good read so far. Also, have a stack 2 inches thick of magazines to read including the newest Runner’s World, Women’s Running, Women’s Health, and Clean Eating. And although, I have presents to wrap, children to care for, I am still hoping for a few minutes of quiet!
Winners of Contests: The winner’s of the KEEN contest, the SmartOnes contest, and the Life Fitness Heart Rate Monitor have all been emailed.
With Love,
Rachel

I am actually pretty sure I’ve read that book.. I need to go look up the summary, but I’m pretty sure I have.
Hope your holidays are wonderful!! The food sounds deeeelicious

That’s a beautiful piece, but I don’t think it’s functional in its present state; it might be missing a couple of pieces. I’m pretty sure your wheel is what is called a ‘great wheel’. If I’m right, this is what it would look like with all of its pieces: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Conner-prairie-spinning-wheel.jpg
