listmania

i was trying to think of all the things i want to accomplish in the new year. i hate the resolution making, but i do like making lists. resolutions sound so strict. it's like saying you're going on a diet, saying you resolve to do something.

1. learn to play the wonderful piano a bought for me for xmas
2. learn to knit
3. learn to sew
4. get the house really clean. go room by room and throw away, give away, organize every corner. otherwise moving in july is going to be horrible.
5. take the vitamins every day
6. become really close with the gym. become a regular there instead of mcdonald's or the bar
7. try to become crafty enough to have a mostly homemade christmas next year
8. take a little more time with the personal appearance. maybe apply some rouge or gloss. or at least take a shower in the morning and not have crazy hair.
9. get on a better sleep schedule
10. take better care of my skin. i did buy some old lady face cream today. and some serum which sounds like it should do serious work.

lizzie sent us a thank you card today with a couple of pictures from christmas. there's one where i'm sitting at the table and look so enormous. i look like i ate everyone else's xmas dinner and might be thinking about eating the other guests. gross. it makes me angry with people who take my picture and even angrier when they show them to me. i have to get better about this. it's become ridiculous. start the food diary tomorrow and no lying.
