Trying Again

It’s the end of the first week of the new year.  I don’t like New Year’s resolutions because it seems to me, that they are all about failure.

But last year about this time I decided to lose weight.  And I actually did.  So I figure I’ll give it another shot this year.

Two resolutions:

1.  ORGANIZATION by way of my friend, Karen, who is a GENIUS at organizing her home and making cute stuff HERE.  And by using a book recommended by my friend, Heather, who blogs over HERE.  The book is called A Bite At A Time: 52 Projects for Making Life Simpler.  It’s available HERE ($4 if you use the HAPPYNEWYEAR code) for download.

2.  BLOG again.  When I look back on the two years I blogged in Okinawa, describing our daily life and milestones for the kids, I’m so proud of that record.  And simultaneously, sad/depressed/guilt-ridden that I haven’t kept that up here.  It’s such a fabulous documentation of our life.  I’m not a big scrapbooker (though I tried once, and even sold Creative Memories for a short unsuccessful bit of time), so this is my scrapbook.  I’m not going to expect a full turn around, but will try to get back to at least one post a week.

So.

Random thing from this week.

I’m in love with the back of my daughter’s neck.  So when we went for another haircut this week I made sure they cut up the back a bit higher so we could all enjoy it more.  Is that weird?  And what is that area called?  I know you’ve got the “waddle” in front of the neck, but what is it called in the back?  Where the tendons run around the midline?  Anyone??

Am I right?  Is it fabulous?

On other fronts, the tree is still up.  Good thing I buy real ones.  That way they eventually HAVE to come down or surely the house will burn down.  Right?  Please tell me I’m right!
