RESOLUTIONS

oskar's new year's resolution is to stop eating things that are not given to him to eat. latest victim? bag of bath salts. Of course, he discovered they were not yummy when he ripped open the bag, so he just flung the open bag across the study. the study smells great and looks like it has a dusting of snow on the carpet. ugh!

ok---this is not a resolution he made, so he prolly will not keep it---i on the other hand have made my own resolutions, but am still as likely to keep them as oskar.

in reality, i have not made any official resolutions, but these are the things i want out of 2010 sapna.

I want her to be more charitable with both her time and money

I want her to be healthy, especially in regards to her diabetes--this involves losing about 30 lbs and eating less carbs and exercising more and testing her blood daily---hopefully the first three will go hand-in-hand-in-hand and make me actually want to do the 4th. I think losing weight in the past has seemed impossible b/c i say "i need ot lose 30 lbs" so right now, i am focusing on losing 5 lbs by the end of january. doable right? then i will be the weight i was before break. ugh!.

I want 2010 sapna to actually commit to and finish creative projects. i have the materials to be a great aritsan or writer or whatever, but i never actually produce anything. tomorrow i am going to inventory my painting/sewing/knitting/writing tools and organize them in the study.

I want her to read voraciously. i do this sporadically and based on my mood--- a happy sapna is reading sapna. when i get depressed, i get stupid and sluggish. so maybe my resolution should be to curb the depression. This leads into wanting her to not be a flake anymore. I flake out on plans all the time b/c i just want to be alone. I need to stop that.

Last but maybe the most important--i want to be better to oskar. i skip walks with him and neglect him when i am super busy and it is just not fair. he loves me more than anything ever has and i need to deserve that love. with more w-o-k s and more ear pulling.

happy 2010, y'all.
