So this is the new year...and I don't feel any different.
Happy New Year!
I always want to go out and do something big, but can never find anyone to go with me. This year I ended up joining Erin and Jake at a small soiree at the home of Erin's friend and classmate Charla, whom I have met a few times before. We bonded over Nickel Creek.
Charla made a ton of delicious food, and then her friends all sat around telling effing crazy stories from when they were all young and foolish and lived in Texas. Then there was poker and Wiisports and Guitar Hero. I feel comfortable saying that a good time was had by all.
Resolutions for this year? A few years ago I decided to stop making big and vague resolutions like "eat better and exercise more" and pick one small thing I could focus on. Two years ago it was "stop eating at Dennys," which actually lasted most of the year. Last year it was using the stairs instead of the elevator at my old building, which I did every single day when I wasn't sick or carrying a ton of groceries.
This year? I think my resolution will be to do crunches every night before I go to sleep. And, when the weather gets warmer, to go rollerblading at least once a week, if not more. That should be doable.
If I had thought it in advance, I would have set up a big morning-after first-day-of-the-year Dim Sum outing for tomorrow afternoon. I didn't, so it'll just be me and Ryan...but damn, that's a good idea.
Next year perhaps.
