on christmas and new year's
This year's Christmas experience was AWESOME albeit Mutt's boyfriend-meets-family and being harangued by crazy-eyed gossipmonkey(s). Christmas Day was great. You know you're in a different level when your parents have a bigger pile of presents than you. The L reunion seemed a bit more low-key, perhaps because we were missing a lot of people. But otherwise, finally met N's M(sooooo cute!) and Auntie C's L (cute cute cute!). Was also pleasantly surprised that more people brought their significant others.
As for New Year's...just wanted to have a low-key celebration, which meant I was in bed by 10 pm and gotten woken up by fireworks and text messages.
As for my New Year's resolutions, well, I've decided that there's always room for improvement.
SOUP's New Year's Resolutions.
1. Improve posture (heard that you will look like you've lost 5 lbs).
2. If #1 fails, lose 5 lbs.
3. Eat healthiER. Have already started eating healthy before Christmas break, but need to cut out the chocolates. As soon as I finish this little bag of goodies I got for Christmas...seriously.
4. Pay off cc debt.
5. Call parents more often.
6. No more talking bad about other people. I am definitely serious about this one. There's no benefit, so what's the point?
7. Learn to cook (at least one) gourmet dish that the Boyfriend will like. No just-add-water-out-of-the-box stuff.
8. Will stick to budget and spend at least 24 hours contemplating before making a purchase.
9. Will keep Inbox clean and not spend an hour every three months cleaning emails.
10. Will visit dentist at least once this year.
