Happy New Year, y'all!

Well, I blinked, and 2012 is over. In spite of (or maybe because of) the apocalyptic undercurrent of doom that most of the year carried with it, I had big plans for 2012. And while I accomplished roughly none of them, I WAS able to mostly catch up on the past decade of popular television on Netflix, so I am going to call it a success and wash my hands of those plans.

Last night, and every other night since the holiday season started in June, I have engaged in the beautiful American holiday tradition of gorging myself into a coma on food, drink, and consumerism. And so today, as we usher in the New Year, I am feeling a desperate need to cleanse both my physical body and my life, as soon as I finish this meatball.

Practicing moderation, as always. 

The rest of the world (Facebook) is full of heartfelt vows to take better care of ourselves, and the sentiment must be contagious. I am almost inspired enough to see if Netflix has any fitness programs (as soon as I finish this season of How I Met Your Mother). But not to be outdone, I too have some goals for 2013:

1. Get up before 8:00 8:30 9:00 on the weekend
2. Finish watching the Die Hard movies
3. Learn to like root vegetables
4. Stop pretending to like root vegetables
5. Buy a bra that fits
6. Wear a bra
7. Master the illusive art of folding a fitted sheet
8. Wash my sheets
9. Stop wanting to stab people who don't properly use their, they're, and there
10. Drink an entire cup of coffee WHILE IT IS STILL HOT
11. Stop judging people who I text and it doesn't do the blue IPhone thingy
12. Learn to eat a taco while still looking sexy
13. Learn to take my own advice
14. Floss
15. Learn to cry in a delicate, girly way instead of a ugly, snot-dripping, scrunched-up-face way
16. Use the expression "pitted out" more
17. Stop talking incessantly about zombies at work
18. Give myself permission to punch people who use the term "sleep hygiene"
19. Find a comfortable way to sit on the heat vent without burning my arse
20. Wear more fleece
21. Be grateful for my laugh lines
22. Forgive
23. Grow
24. Nurture
25. Stop blowing my nose on the sheets

 I think its a reasonable list, and in I'll get started on it tomorrow. Or next week. It's a long year.

Sugar coma.
