Happy New Year 2009!

It's too cold to play outside, so this morning we built a little tent for Amado in the house. He loves it. He also is loving sticking his tongue out these days. So there.

In 2009, I will...

read more books (actual, physical books)
• cook amazing food more often
• exercise on a regular basis
• return art to my life (specifically, my painting)
• keep working on my novel
• meditate
  
• be more intentional about the time I spend on-line
  
• take a couple of short, overnight vacations locally
• go forward, instead of backward, financially
• start having dinner parties again (if possible with a 3-year-old)
• go back to my Afro-Cuban conga lessons and playing
• be more loving and kind toward those I live with
• get some gold fish
• eat some oysters
• (or was that eat some gold fish and get some oysters?)
