little bitty girl

I don't like the idea of resolutions.

Maybe it's because I am the youngest child and have a tendency to be a bit rebellious. If you tell me to go left, I'll go right. I see resolutions as some other rule to follow. Besides, my resolutions are never the typical ones, like lose 10 pounds, or learn to swim. Although learning to do something you don't know is always a good thought.

However, I just wanted to say what a crazy year 2005 has been for me - getting a new job, leaving the job, starting my own business, losing a grandmother, making amazing new friends, writing more, laughing and learning. This year felt like an insane roller coaster ride and yet it's also made me realize how blessed I am in my partner, friends and family. Every year makes me appreciate them all more. So, thank you all for being in my life.

So, instead of resolutions here are some things I'd like to try to do in the new year -

Eat more seafood, cooked in different ways.

Spend more time with my girlfriends.

Get in touch with my creative-crafty side.

Not to be such a workaholic.

Give back more to society.

Spend more time teasing parents and brothers.

Read more books (this is a permanent MUST TRY every year).

Go for more walks with Stefan.

Remember to laugh out loud.

Hope everyone else has an amazing 2006!
