New Year's Resolutions

1. Be kinder to my fellow man (this incl. family and friends)
2. Be more fit. Did I mention that I'm below my pre-pregnancy weight? Ok, I'll stop bragging now. But seriously, I've never been below 140 for past five years.
3. Write more. Fiction/short stories, plays. This blog helps.
4. Build my self-acceptance and acceptance of others. Stop putting myself down.
5. Drink more diet-coke (Ok, I had to throw in an easy one!)
6. Be more patient (this incl. with my two children under age 5)
7. Get more involved with my community (ok, one activity will satisfy this one)
8. Travel more (been working on this one for a while. Xanax anyone?)
9. Learn to be a better friend. (Generous, compromise, etc.)
10. Do more puzzles with Sophie (do I need to explain this one? It's about spending time with my first born, Ms. Sophie-Toons Yum Lenz.)

Random notes:
- I hate pedicures. I got my most recent one in my eighth month of pregnancy and I'm announcing to all two readers of this blog that I will never get another one. It hurts my feet or tickles uncomfortably and I always end up mad that I paid for the abuse.

- What's up with the nautical theme? Fashion 2008 alert. If you've been to the mall lately or even Target - you've noticed that everything is boatneck teas with navy blue stripes and green canvas jackets. Whaddup wid dat? I'm having flashbacks to highschool. Designers, whaddup? Did you have one too many all-night benders and forget to design. I'm beginning to think that I should never give any clothes away because they will always come back in style. This idea would work but my closet is not big enough.

- What I'm watching: Will and Grace reruns (LOVE this show), Jon and Kate Plus 8, Real Housewives of Orange, Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations

- What I love: the smell of Daniel's small head. Babies...ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
