Happy New Year!!
So I'm sort of at a loss for what to type about. It's been so long that way too many things come to mind. Had a terrific Xmas up in San Francisco with the Chinese Costanzas and my aunts. Watched countless hours of L&O, CSI, Forensic Files, Body of Evidence, Psychic Detectives, Cold Cases, etc. and played countless hours of World of Warcraft. Nowadays, half of my nightmares are about rapists and murderers, the other half are about orcs and trolls. Gained about 5 lbs, which I keep insisting is "water" weight...but don't you lose "water" weight after a few days of sodium free eating? Mine appears to be stubborn and won't go away. Damn "water."
Oh incidentally, I did make it to the gym for the first time in months. Went a couple of days ago. To my dismay and horror, I noticed in the mirror that MY EYE BAGS BOUNCE when I run on the treadmill. Ack! Surely must be b/c of the water weight, and not because I just generally look haggard and rundown.
And, the only thing worse than Michigan getting its ass kicked by USC is having to go grocery shopping afterwards, in your Michigan sweatshirt, and getting jeered at by USC fans at the grocery store. Seriously - it happened TWICE. In about 20 minutes.
But, moving on, I am going to indulge in my useless habit of making and posting my resolutions!! That's right - those things that I never keep. Well, last year, I decided to make a few general ones since I can't seem to keep a long list of specific ones, but that didn't seem to work either. So this year, I've decided to commit to TWO. Just two little bitty ones, that aren't major, but would improve my life and Pig's. So here they are:
1.) Floss everyday. Sadly, this has been one of my yearly resolutions since I was about 12 and Dr. Hanson predicted that my teeth would fall out by the age of 50 if I didn't floss everyday. Of course, that never seemed to make me floss, but now that I'm 28, I figure it's about time to start.
2.) Walk Pig for 1/2 hr every day. This way, she gets exercise, and I get exercise. Ever since I started at my new job, I've been skipping walks a couple of times a week, and that's just not good for either of us.
So that's it. Just too little bitty ones. Not majorly significant but achievable. The other things like saving more money, exercising regularly, taking a multivitamin a day, drinking 8 glasses of water a day, giving up caffeine and alcohol, working harder at the office, donating money, volunteering, training for a marathon, etc...all those will lurk in my head. Will try to work on them, but won't actually call them resolutions, so it's not quite so embarassing when I can't keep any of them!

I went to the Kaiser emergency room today as a precaution because I got in a car accident on Friday and woke up sore (went just in case, for insurance documentation). So I'm in my Michigan sweatshirt because that's about as much effort as I wanted to put into getting dressed, and as they walk me to my room, the male nurse goes, "Uh...there are a lot of USC supporters in here, so you may want to take off your sweatshirt." I was like, what? Why? Wait a minute, they beat us. Then just gave him a grumpy "Whatever." I mean, WTF?
(go blue)
