i resolve to be more awesome

*if you didn't notice, i started writing this weeks ago....so happy groundhogs day*

i'm feeling skinny tony

i don't know what people have against resolutions - everyone squawks and bawlks as people try to be someone better each new year. ya i could start eating healthy on some random day in october but then i'd miss out on slapsgiving feasts and xmas cookies- why deny myself that bit of caloric happiness? nothing cool is in january to celebrate [other than my anniversary....and martin luther king day] so i say it's the ideal time to start a new goal.

according to this random google search find, the top new years resolutions are:
1- spend more time with family
2- exercise more

what a snuggler

3- lose weight
4- quit smoking
5- enjoy life more
6- quit drinking
7- get out of debt
8- learn something new
9- help others
10- get organized

pretty good jumping off point, don't you say? i've already got 4, 6, and 7 in the bag- thank you word of widsdom. 1 i basically do already seeing as how i'm a part-time soon to be full-time stay at home mom. if any resolution is needed, it's to have more girl time. 10 isn't really necessary either since we just moved in so things are put away and in their place, so i'm replacing it with get messy with new recipes - justin has [oh so kindly] told me i cook too much chicken-rice-pasta combos so i'm getting my crazy on in the kitchen. i also want to lose the baby weight [what's new people]- i just keep telling myself, it took 9 months to put it on, it'll take 9 months to take it off. i want to be a better wife & mother to my hunky men because they deserve the best. i want to give up coke [does not include slurpees, obviously]. i'm going to be a mom who goes to institute and has play-dates. i want to watch less tv [or hulu in my case] and read more religious books. oh, and stop gossiping. i really am a gossiping geese.

bc no post is complete without this cute little pooper

i realized a few weeks ago [when i actually wrote this list] that you wait your whole life to become someone- one day i'll learn how to sew, one day i'll take a salsa class, or one day i'll finish war & peace- but that times now. my life has begun and now is the time for me to be who i want to be.

so i'm gonna be.
