| | New Years Alright everyone, time to anti up. Lets here your New Years resolution.
Mine, to finish my schooling, and to get back into shape. This desk job has been a killer to my 32 inch waste line.
And oh yeah, I plan on converting ChefTalk to a database driven site.  .....

| | Kylew before I went back to school I was in the kitchen and in the gym. I worked out about 1 1/2 a day and I kept a 32 inch waste line until I was about 29. Now I have a tire around my waste like everyone else.
Melina, database driven is a good thing, a tech thing, but a good thing... Good to see you in the Cafe I was wondering where you have been. If you go back to Greece will you live in Athens?

| | Lose weight, sure. More than that, I'll be happy to keep the lipids down!
Momo, I drive like you do, but I have no interest in toning it down!  It's the only overt aggression I allow myself.
I would like to lose my fear of rejection and once again take up the battle to get my manuscript published. So far, it's been rejected by some of the top literary agents in the country.
Finally: get to Italy this summer. Failing that, to the Chef Talk Get-together in Montreal and also spend some time in NYC.
Happy New Year, everyone!

| | This year was a recovery year for me so for this coming year I would like to continue my excercising and skating. I still have a minimum of 10lbs to lose. After that I would lkike to continue and if possible get back down to my early 20's weight (like that'll happen!)
Also to continue my brain recovery and possibly overcome and use it to forget my past inabilities and use that to forge new abilities and get some things accomplished. I have several ideas and inventions if you will, that I still want to get done.
And last but certainly not least, to buy a home!!!! |
