That clock goes faster and faster when you have something important to do.
I am not inclined to make posts about new year’s resolutions, but I will tell you what I plan to do this year:
- Get married.
- Move to a place that is better-suited for our family, and get rid of as much stuff as possible in the process.
- Spend a week at the beach.
- Get back into the habit of running (at the gym). Consider finding a race, but that’s not the ultimate goal.
- Either knit myself some more socks or get better about washing the ones I have.
- Steal the crockpot cookbook and the Vietnamese cookbook from my brother and use the heck out of them.
- Dye the cat a better color.

I want to steal the cookbooks from you. Getting rid of stuff is such a good thing.
Excellent list…I might steal a couple ideas from you…
I want to see a video when you dye the cat!
Yeah, a white cat (or furry dog) pretty much eliminates ever being able to wear black, navy, charcoal, dark brown, maroon…
Pretty good goals, I'd say.
Maybe you could just add a little pink to contrast with the blue on the cat.
I'm getting rid of a lot of stuff this year too – I need to commit to spending a couple hours a week in the attic sorting through CRAP that's been there for the past seven years!
psst… what size sock ya wear?
I was aiming for Chinese New Year's Resolutions but may wait until Groundhog Day.
My clear-out continues and it is so pleasant. Giving unwanted stuff away is as much fun as it was having it. The highlight was giving the snooker table to a Polish immigrant family with four young boys. I'm enjoying the space AND a nice box of chocolates. (Psst, try to get chocolate for the items you clear out!)
