One thing. I read one of the neatest posts yesterday at 2nd cup of coffee based on the phrase “one thing” in the Bible. It was not only inspiring but simplifies any resolutions we need to make.

200 calories. My oldest son sent me this interesting link titled “What Does 200 Calories Look Like?” (Shouldn’t that be “do” rather than “does,” though? In my brain fog [see below] it doesn’t look quite right.) Anyway, it has pictures of the 200-calorie equivalent of various foods. In what should be a no-brainer, you can get a lot more celery and broccoli for 200 calories than you can peanut butter and Hershey’s kisses (if only those didn’t taste so good…) Though we know that on one level, it is an eye-opener to see it. I only wish the site had used something other than grams for its measurements, like cups or tablespoons.

Blogging helper. Shannon @ Rocks In My Dryer and Chilihead @ Don’t Try This At Home have launched a new site to help beginning bloggers called Blogging Basics 101. I think it is a great idea. Probably most of us wish something like this had been around when we started.

Bleah. Somehow we all got through the Christmas season without getting sick, except for my husband. He had a horrible cold and still has a pretty bad cough. Tuesday I started having a sore throat and runny nose, progressed to coughing and feeling this morning like my cheeks are about to fall off. I hope it doesn’t spread to the rest of the family just as everyone is getting back to school and work. I’d rather have this, though, than the stomach thing some others have been going through. A lot of people around here have had it as have a number of bloggers’ families. In fact, as I have read about it, I’ve wanted to keep my distance from the screen and disinfect the keyboard lest germs sneak though. 🙂
