| | It is January 7th, 2008, and we still have 358 days left of 2008. That makes 2008 relatively new. I love opportunities for a new start. My favorite memories of Christmas 2007: playing the poop train game with Bryan and my brother Brett (a slightly modified version of Mexican Train), mommies and daddies dancing with their babies to Brazilian Playground, and Becky my sister-in-law and me desperately trying to learn the Napoleon Dynamite dance the night before she had to leave when she probably should have been packing. It was a great holiday, everyone caught their holiday cold, and now everyone's recovering. I have three new year's resolutions. They are: dancing, writing (NOT on my blog, but writing for real), and painting. So far I have been dancing and writing, but to be honest, I'm kind of scared to pick up a paintbrush. It's been two years. But I reeeeally want to paint. So I'm going to. I think I'm going to write a children's book about my grandpa. He's so cool. I have never once heard him say anything negative about my grandma. They really love each other. He used to take me for rides in his big red tractor with the air conditioner blasting during spring planting. We talked about farming the whole time. He taught me about tractors, soil, crops, pesticides, and how to have a great time while you're sitting in a tractor planting your fields all day. When he wasn't busy planting or walking beans or mowing or harvesting, he would play games with my brother and me. We especially loved badminton, scrabble, uno, life, rook, and sorry. My grandpa is likely going to have heart surgery this week in Rochester. We are going to have a birthday party for him. His 82nd birthday party.
