yesterday was a very fun first day of 2013!
- a sleep-in…until 6:45 a.m.!
- a balanced cardio/weights/stretching workout
- the traditional watching of the rose bowl parade with dad [sidenote: no one in the family can stand watching the parade except for me and dad; our tradition of plunking down in front of the tv and viewing the spectacular floats and invigorating marching bands dates back to at least 1980! a new year's day without the rose bowl is just not the same!].

- the traditional cleaning of the condo casa: i gave myself 1.5 hours to power-cleanse -> that time frame proved sufficient!
- the traditional mid-afternoon walk: yesterday was sunny and crisp -> thoroughly enjoyable and mind-clearing!
- family + social time at uncle paul and sharon’s from late-aft to early eve, with mom and dad, cousins joel and alex -> i loved meeting up with the fam!
- throw in some knitting, some reading, some tooth flossing, and january 1st, 2013 was an all-around great day.
on today’s agenda:
- a noon-time catch-up visit with joanne
- winter coat shopping -> i am seriously considering a puffy coat, i cannot believe i am typing those words

- the store this eve: it’s run club night so it’ll be social city! love it!

The puffy coat episode on Seinfeld was hysterical. George is such a boob!! Happy New Year, Cathy!
george’s puffy coat was truly hideous. hopefully mine is not quite so bad!!! watching seinfeld is always good for several laughs!!
My New Year’s was a nice stay-at-home kind of day! A little thinking about the coming year…some reading, some tv watching, family time. A good day.
that IS a good day, zo – i like the mix of how you spent your time!
Happy New Year! That sounds like such a fun tradition with your Dad, when my Dad was alive, watching It’s a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve was our tradition.
Sleeping in until 6:45?! I don’t think I got up before 9 the last four days, and I was in bed before midnight!
#ilovesleep!
ooo, that is a NICE sleep schedule! i like that movie tradition you had with your dad – that is a lovely memory to have.
6:45 is sleeping in!!? :O Wow! hahah!
Do you watch Seinfeld? It’s my favourite show EVER. Just cracking up at George in the liquor store with that huge coat on!
HUGE seinfeld fan!! i could play seinfeld trivia!!! that show is still soooo funny!! yup, a regular morning wake-up is 5:15 to 5:45-ish!
Happy New Year, Cathy! I love your annual, Rose Bowl parade, tradition with your dad. How fun!
Yesterday, my girls and I stayed in our PJs all day- it was a nice, relaxing day. That was the highlight of my New Year’s day. Oh, and Darren and I booked a long weekend to NYC in 2 weeks! So excited. Love that city!
