Just a few thoughts before I go to bed....This week because of beginning a New Year I have been rethinking some things.   I have started exercising again, and hope to do it quite regularly.  I manage to get 15 min. on the treadmill before work, and finish the other half plus some other routines after work.  I want to keep the food we eat more simple.  Just natural things like meat, veggies cooked i n broth, fruit, milk, yogurt, cheese, whole grains.  Cut down on processed things, but not completly eliminate them, Hubby would not survive without bacon and sausage. 

   I also have cut WAY back on the t.v. I come home from work and watch the news (we just canceled our newspaper delivery) and then the t.v. goes off.  I can`t tell you what a pleasant relaxing evening you can have with just some nice music or a relaxation cd playing.  And I get so much more done, too.  The only exception is when the phone rings all evening, like tonight!

   We are trying to cut expenses, too.  One automatic way is to have your dryer break, like ours did.  I haven`t got a bill yet to compare the savings with, but I know we are saving by hanging them outside or in the basement.  We have heat and a dehumidifier, so they dry really nice. 

  I am just going over everything we do to see where we can improve, save or cut back.  If you have any ideas or suggestion, I`d love to hear them.  Let`s make this the Year of Improvement!
