So i'm resolving again. That's what you do at the end of the year right? So here are mine. They are pretty reasonable i think. I like hearing about other people's resolutions too, for some reason it motivates me to know that others are working towards some goals as well. So please, post your resolutions here too!!!
- Start having Family Home Evening (this will probably happen on Sundays instead of Mondays because of work and basketball and such, but i'm feeling a serious need for some family time without any outside distraction)
- Work on my thoughtfulness (this mostly fits into the "charity" category, but it basically entails being a little less self-centered and take opportunities to NOTICE and REMEMBER things about other people. We're talking baby steps here. I have a long way to go on this one)
- Give up Soda (hey I did it for 2 1/2 years in high school, I can do it again. Piece of cake.)
- Write at least ONE PAGE of fiction a day. (this will be hard, but worth it. Mostly i'm going to try to start the much hyped "novel" that's been rattling around in my brain over the past year. But this one is a necessity. There is no point considering myself a writer if i don't write. Right?)
Also I think Astoria is left handed. Weird, but awesome. I always wished i was left handed. And that isn't one of those "when i was little" wishes. I still wish i was left handed, or at the least ambidextrous. I'd like to use both halves of my brain in a more balanced fashion i think.
Speaking of Lefties, last night Elliot had socks (as puppets) on her hands and named them Lefty and Barbara. She would put one on her hand and say "Oh no! Where's Barbara?". Yeah, you don't have to tell me, i know. My kids are basically awesome.
