Absolutely the funniest thing I've seen in years.

resolution?

I have come to the place that I come every year at this point, if not a couple days late. I am making a resolution.

Do I need to lose weight, exercise and eat healthier? Yes. Do I need to spend less money and eliminate debt? Yes. Do I need to love my husband more? Yes. Do I need to keep my house cleaner and tidier? Yes. Do I need to deepen my relationship with my kids? Yes. Do I need to grow in my faith and the knowledge of Jesus? Yes.

Wow. That was helpful. Now I feel worse than I did last January 1st.

So, this is what I've decided. I may not have the body of a supermodel by July 1. (Who am I kidding. I've NEVER had the body of a supermodel!) I won't be plugging my "Get Out of Debt in Four Weeks,...Or your Money Back!" money management plan in February. I'll not be penning my marriage success book in September. There will still be clutter in my kitchen and I'll argue with my kids all year long. Most importantly, I'll not know Christ to the extent that He can be known.

But on December 31, 2009 I want to be able to say that I grew; that I changed. My resolution is to be better in 2009. Just better.

Spell it however you'd like-I'll answer to anything Part B

Well, after three appointments, I have this extremely obvious statement to make: Mammograms hurt like a banshee! However, I cannot argue with their effectiveness. We have confirmed that, yes, I do have a growth about the size of a walnut in a rather private area of my body. Actually, it WAS a private area until this morning....

Anyway, that's the update. I know nothing more than that except that I'll be meeting with a surgeon next week and we'll see!

I've just realized this is a lousy way to begin my blogging experience....

Spell it however you'd like-I'll answer to anything

For years, in essence, since I could spell, I've spelled my name for anyone who sounded or looked confused when first meeting me. Anyway, T-E-R-E-S-S-A. Two S's, no H. Just for those of you who are still confused. :-)

I've entered the blogging community with a tremulous hand and hesitant heart. I'm going to try it. Maybe I'll love it; maybe not. I'm more nervous about my grammar and possible lack of quick-witted quips than anything else. Kelly P.? I know you're out there. Don't read too closely, okay?

I've got a big appointment to get to this morning. Based on the outcome of that, I'll try to post later on this afternoon. I may have a lot to share or very little. We'll see. That'll bring you back or keep you reading, won't it?
