first entry for 2008!
Happy new year, everyone :) I don't usually make resolutions, mostly b/c I never keep them but I did this year and I am going to try really hard to keep them...
1) Drink 8 glasses of water a day. That sounds easy but I'm terrible at it...i always forget. but I read in this book how good it is for you and how awful it can be for your body to constantly be dehydrated. So I'm trying.
2) Be greener. I already do a lot to be green but this year I'm stepping it up. It has been VERY frustrating to see many people that I know take no interest in little things you can do to help out...I mean, how hard is it to recycle? Or shorten your shower by one minute? Or turn out the lights when you leavea room or go to bed? So I'm going to do extra things to make up for some of the lazy people. I have to buy a new car when I get home and I really wanted to buy a hybrid, but even used hybrids from like 1999 still cost over $10,000 in Australia...so I'll just have to buy a more fuel efficient car. Everyone should go to a bbook store and look through The Green Book. it's very inspiring.
So...we leave Colorado tomorrow for a 5 day road trip down into New Mexico. Then we fly out of Denver next Wednesday. I have a day in Honolulu then I GO HOME!!!!!! To the beautiful, unbeatable Sydney summer.
Also, I am going to be an aunty again - for the TENTH time! MY brother Pete and his wife are expecting their 4 th child. VERY exciting as I thought I was done with nieces and nephews. More exciting that my children will have a cousin who is remotely in the age range!!!
