Me vs. The World
I've had one of those days! The kind where you wake up feeling like, OK, I can do this. And at some point, your day tells you that your shoe is untied and taps you under the chin, then giggles. Next thing you know, you're getting backhanded across the face. Before it's all said and done, you're laying on the floor tapping three times, hoping to make it all stop.

To Do in 2010
I've got a short list of things I want to do in 2010. Not resolutions, just things to do. I don't know if naming them something other than resolutions will make a difference, but I'm hoping it will, because something like 80+% of all resolutions fail. By February. That's just sad.
1. Get a passport. I've been out of the country, to Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas. At the time, no passport was required. I want to eventually travel to Europe, and having a passport would be a good first step.
2. (This one was all Foster's idea.) Find a book on how to worry less/have less anxiety. Or just take more Xanax.
3. Read more adult books. (No, not that kind.) (Well, maybe ... ) Seriously though, I tend to read a ton of YA books because I like the covers. I'm going to try to delve more into books that are about people who are no longer in high school and who no longer have a curfew. I'm sure it can be done.
4. I'm not officially putting "lose weight" on the list, because I don't want any failure to be, like, an official failure. If I never said I was going to try to lose weight, then it won't matter if it doesn't happen, right? Right. So I'll just say that in 2010, I plan to work on cutting sugar (my blessed sugar) out of my diet once again. Perhaps I'll throw in more vegetables. Or even work out more. (I could very well be the only person alive who joined a gym and proceeded to gain 20 pounds. And no, it's not muscle.)
5. I'd like to be more like Julia Sugarbaker. More outspoken and less passive. (See clip below.)
"And that, Marjorie, is the night the lights went out in Georgia!" I love it.
