we had a slumber party at melissa's place last night. it was very fun. and when i was all tucked in, zipped inside my sleeping bag on her couch i couldn't stop giggling with delight. it was a very enjoyable way to ring in the new year.

well, 2009. wow. does anyone else find this number big and a little intimidating? but never mind, it'll grow on me, i'm just hesitant towards arbitrary change. aside from the annoying change of number, i'm quite stoked for the change of year. can you imagine how mundane and relentless life would seem without the occasional changing of the calendar? yikes.

i've made a few plans for 2009. things i hope to/are planning on doing:
1) trip to mexico
2) my first bikini waxing
3) raspberry picking
4) hopefully take a leave of absence from work to go to scotland
5) practice lent for the first time – i'm planning on giving up meat

as far as resolutions go, that's a whole different story. when i choose to set resolutions i like them to be achievable goals, or like they say at work "measurable" (which basically means you're able to measure whether or not you achieved the goal). last year i decided to stop using plastic bags when i make purchases. the year before was to stop allowing food to go bad in my refrigerator. this year, i'm going to work on my posture – keeping my shoulders back. i think this will be the hardest of those three resolutions, but i feel confident that i CAN do it.

nothing changes on new year's day.
