My new years resolution this year was to cut back on my shoe purchases to only one pair a month.
I'm already three months ahead.

This is me using our ab roller. One of my resolutions was to do some kind of physical activity five days a week. I know that sounds like a really wimpy goal, but I've been crazy lazy for a long time. :)
I figured that doing anything was better than doing NOTHING. I've had some pretty good success with this goal. Steve and I like to watch "Everybody Loves Raymond." I've been using the ab roller, doing bicep curls, and doing other simple exercises while we watch. I don't get bored if I'm watching the show. Hopefully I keep up the good habit.

To get fit! Here I am at the gym ... finished my workout and feeling good ...
Out of an end comes a new beginning…
It’s time to say goodbye to 2011, and to this my third year of a 365 project. I told myself that I would do at least 5 years of 365 as my 154th lifetime dream, and I have completed now 3 of those 5 years.
2011 was for the most part just the set up for 2012. That’s the best way that I can really describe it. There’s a lot that I am anxious to leave behind. There is a lot that I am looking forward to in 2012:
1.Moving to a new office, city, and position.
2.Travel (Prince Edward Island, Connecticut, and the mountains of Colorado for starters!).
3.A healthier life style and a healthier drive.
2012 will have its set of challenges. My Great Uncle just passed away yesterday. My uncle in law will pass away this next year from a dual dose of cancer (liver and colon). My grandmother in law will probably be soon after him.
For this my final picture of 2012 I wanted to capture how I feel. With the death of one comes the life of another. And I feel much of me that is dying inside will give birth to newer and better things. Here’s to that promise.
Thanks to everyone who followed, commented, and inspired me this year. I expect the same in 2012!
Sorry I've been busy guys, between spending more time in the kitchen, writing more in my journal as a nice idea brought by my flickr friend Bettina.Schwarz, and I'm now in my 5th week of P90X which as given me little time to play on the internet. I haven't neglected you my dear friends! My New Years Resolutions for this year includes paying more attention to you guys!
1.) Stop EB
2.) Put at least $500.00 into a savings account each month for the Egypt trip in December.
3.) Read one book this year from cover to cover.
4.) Take more pictures for my Flickr friends.
5.) Make a point to write in my journal consistently.
6.) Spend less time on the internet while at work.
7.) Practice patience with clients at work, Matt & the dogs.
8.) Read at least one page of the Qur'an each week and take notes on what I don't understand for questions later.
9.) Donate $10.00 to K-Love each month.
10.) Eat out no more than 2x a week.
I woke up this morning... with a sore throat!
a quick call to a friend confirmed I sound dreadful. He suggested I take some airborne, I complimented it with Lemon Echinacea Throat Coat tea...
and so begins 2007

When making my resolutions this year, the usual list items reared their heads -> more running, less wine, healthy eating, volunteering, taking photography to the next level, getting my motorcycle license... blah, blah, blah. It's just noise if you don't really do it! I really want these to stick this time so I decided to look at these things differently -> I am investing in myself. Ha! Let's see if that works!
I plan on investing more than the equivalent of $1.42 in myself, BTW.
Not sure how well this will go - but Cosmo seems to want to turn the page and be less of a jerk to Flapjack.
a non new year's resolution idea thingy - try to wear colours other than black.
and wear more sunblock to minimise freckles.
Fun fact: This is the first time I've published a political cartoon featuring me and Masheka (my husband).
And in case you're wondering why I'm fantasizing about alien lizard queens eating the president, Ted Rall recently introduced me to the wonderful 80s science fiction miniseries V, about fascist man-eating lizards who do just that. I highly recommend it.
Dialogue: Any resolutions for the new year? Sure! I resolve that there will be world peace and universal health care! I resolve that an alien lizard queen will carry Bush, Cheney and Condi away in her food processing ship! I resolve that the entire GOP presidential field will melt into puddles of barely sentient goo! Got anything less... idealistic? I resolve to replace our TV next time I throw a brick at it.
