Here’s another: Stick to the FDA’s guidelines for diet/serving size for a month. It’s a lot harder than most people think. After the first month, if you think you need to lose weight, cut your caloric intake by 500 calories–a whole other 30-day challenge.

- Learn one new thing each day about a person/place/thing or in an area that you have an interest in.

Hope you have better luck with your daily posts than I did, when I decided to write a poem every day! By the end of the second week, I had started skipping days at a time.

But I know that you are more focussed on doing what you start out to do. So I will be checking you out, EVERY day - unless I’m not anywhere near my puter!

Diana,

I don’t multitask well. (I make computers do it for me.) She and I both have kids we’re trying to get moved out before we do.

Oh yes! I remember Linda!

OK then. Are you EVER going to marry her, then? Geez!

Diana,

Thank you, but it’s old news. I’ve been engaged for the past 7 years. Her name’s Linda. She’s commented here a few times. (And yes, she can cook!)

Good call on posting on the lighter side. There’s more than enough bad news on the internet.

I spent most of the day yesterday writing a post about spanking–just my thoughts and feelings about it, along with the obvious caveats that I don’t have kids and thus cannot understand what it’s like, etc. It’s one of those subjects people lose their minds about (come to think of it, that may be what intrigues me most: how vociferously people will defend their right to beat their children*). By the end of it, I’d said much of what was on my mind and was beginning to make my case, but didn’t feel any better. (There are some things I probably shouldn’t think about and dwell on, and certain aspects of my childhood definitely fall into the “just leave it alone” pile.)

* Again, maybe this is something I’d understand if I did have my own, but for many reasons, not the least of which is “to see if I’d decide I needed to beat them,” I don’t.

Thus. My first 30-day experiment. :)

I’m going with the humor/uplifting/happy posts. It will be a challenge to me, as you know, and it will be a payoff in and of itself. I’m pretty sure the yoga will be next. :)

Fiancee?! :D Congratulations! (’Specially if she can cook!)
