Resolutions
1. Talk to my brother at least once a month. He could use the support, and I enjoy talking to him. It's just teenaged-boy-induced habit that I don't, and he's 28 now.
2. Bake bread once a month. The goal is to develop a feel, so that every loaf is not an experience fraught with anxiety (and expired yeast.)
3. Lose what Casper affectionately refers to as my "chubby little belly." I don't mind the extra 10 pounds on the rest of me, except for the whole problematic pants fitting thing. In fact, the hint of lushness is attractive (as those of you who've met me know, I am so not lush.) But the belly roll bugs me.
4. Work at being happy. It is work, for me; I am happiest when active and busy and with little time for reflection. This means getting as much sleep as possible (because it takes energy to be active) and not lying to myself and thinking that sitting around the house all weekend will be relaxing. With small children, getting out and doing stuff is actually more relaxing. And it wears the kids out. Working at appreciating the small things is part of the work of being happy, too.
