MKGretchen - so the boot stealer has been to your house too??? At least I usually know where my shoes end up - one of the hounds sneaks it outside in the flurry of 3 dogs rushing to get out there, so I eventually find it half buried somewhere. Dern dogs. At least it's a good excuse to buy more shoes though.

JKrohn - I sympathize on the baking. I enjoy it every once in a while too - although it's tough taking warm choc chip cookies out of the oven and not grabbing a glass of milk to wash them down with!!

All this talk of mini-goals has me thinking that perhaps I should set one. Some reward for exercising daily perhaps . . . it was tough getting up this morning at 5:45 for my hike through the woods. It's cold out (teens), dark (have to wear a headlamp to see where I'm going), and icy/snowy. I can't wait for summer!!

OK, maybe mini-goal: if I hike 6 times/week for 20min/day until 3/1, I'll reward myself with that skirt that MKGretchen has & I've been looking at!
