Happy New Year!

Since getting married, I make about twenty to twenty-five resolutions/goals at the beginning of the year, and write them down in a pretty notebook my friend Erin gave me.  It's fun (and sometimes mildly disappointing) at the end of each year to write down on the opposite page how I did with each one.  The ones I listed online last year were to be more punctual (Failed.  Failed miserably.  Better put it on this year's list again.), improve attention span (Check...with the help of my good friend Ritalin), to learn French (took French 101 and am starting 102 in two weeks - check.), to learn the Chopin G minor Ballade (Nope.  But I learned the Haydn C Major No. 50 Sonata instead), and to drink more water (Absolutely.  Go me.).

Some of this year's resolutions:
1) Keep in touch with old friends.  It's harder than it sounds.  Updating on Livejournal counts somewhat.
2) Learn Italian, and maintain my French.
3) Learn how to cook something really fabulous and gourmet, and learn how to make it well.
4) Memorize, memorize, memorize music.
5) Practice a little more self-denial, and a little less self-indulgence.

Now that I have told you these goals, you need to hold me accountable.  I'm depending on you! the
