I went through a bunch of exercises I'd clipped from magazines and finally tried them out. They sucked immensely. I will stick to side kicks and push-ups, thank you. At least I got them cleared off my desk. I did a lot of cleaning out over the weekend, ended up taking two bags of clothes and sheets to Penn House.

I'm in a letter-writing mood. I owe so many people real updates, not just posts in LJ. I owe pictures of the boys, big time. I went through some old Christmas and birthday cards and realized how unwittingly cruel I've been to Dominic's great-grandma. She asked for recent pics in a Christmas card, and I realized that card is about three years old. I haven't sent pics in that long, just email updates. I don't even know if she still checks her email because I stopped getting reponses a while back, longer than I care to think about. I can't do to my kids' grandparents what my mom did to mine. I signed Tony and Dominic up for some studio portraits tonight. Their school pics have been absolute suck and a waste of money, so I haven't bought any since 2004. What do I care about crappy school pics? After all, I see the boys every day. But I haven't been thinking about the people who don't have that opportunity. That's pretty selfish of me.
