Signs of stress eating.

I just thought to myself, "We seriously only keep five pounds of margarine in this house? That seems irresponsible. Now where are the rest of those crackers?"

Really? Another airplane?

Don't get me wrong--I usually love to get out of here. I just seems like I've been getting on a plane EVERY FIVE MINUETS for the last seven thousand years.

I'm going to attempt to keep up my blogging while I'm in DC but it's not a wildly happy occasion for being in that beautiful city, so I might not.

I will, however, still be totally enthralled by my new project a music review blog. So visit there. :)

Watch carefully for about 20 seconds for an update on my 'sugar' progress in 2009.

Et al, hello!

I'm just sure someone is going to comment and point out that my new shoes are a 'luxury item' as prohibited by my resolutions. So I say unto you, I purchased them at 11:45pm on DECEMBER 31 because I knew full well I was going to make that resolution.

I wanted to blog today because I also have a resolution about blogging. Sadly, this is the only thing I could come up with. In further lameness, tomorrow I'm going to post my Christmas late-er (I could call it a 'letter' but then you wouldn't realize that I just sent out my 1995 Christmas cards last June) so I can keep my resolution without doing one whit of extra work!

Good work, everyone.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank all the eels that died for my new shoes.

You did fantastic work and I couldn't be prouder to take you to church on Sunday.

2009: The Year of the Abstaining

I have decided that this year is going to be all about denial of self-indulgence. How very Puritanical of me.

It's time. It's not that I don't love sugar, spending and...um...lots of other 's' words but it's time to invoke another 's'. Self control.

I know. I'm probably setting myself up for failure. But I don't really mind.

1 year without sugar. 1 year without spending on luxury items. 1 year to straighten up and fly right. Just to see if I can form the habit.

Here goes, almost literally, nothing!
