2009 Resolutions: Chickens, Hats

-Wake up early enough to eat breakfast before work. And shower. And maybe take a walk if it isn't too cold.
-Make my bed every day.
-Put away my laundry instead of piling it on the floor. Or get rid of dresser so piling it on the floor IS putting it away.
-Run fastly one 10k, maybe a half marathon but that might be pushing it.
-Put delicates in their own bag so I don't ruin TWO BEAUTIFUL, BRAND-NEW j.crew sweaters when I'm thinking about boys being dumb and not about merino wool and silk charmeuse and dryers.
-Write and edit things I like, possibly for money.
-Drink coffee sometimes and not always tea, tea, tea. I like coffee, and I never remember about it. Also, I like plunging my french press, and I like feeding the grounds to my garden.
-Plant seeds. Water them.
-Know when long weekends are going to be, and plan things for them.
-Get my hair cut when it starts to make me crazy instead of waiting forever and feeling huffy. It's worth it.
-Go to the beach. Wear a hat.
-Favor experiences over things.
-Stop buying pajamas for awhile. I have enough pajamas.
-Spend more time brushing my teeth. I really like brushing my teeth, and it's over far too quickly because I'm usually in such a hurry.
-Make squash risotto. I've been wanting to make it, and have so far forgotten.
-Buy Uggs. They are terrible, but I always wish I was the person looking slightly unfabulous and comfy.
-Buy beautiful calling cards. Go calling. Wear a hat.
-Read good books on trains and in the park and before bed and maybe while walking down the street sometimes but don't trip.
-Get books from the library only and then READ THEM (see above) and then RETURN THEM. ON TIME.
-Eat the food in my freezer.
-Look for an apartment with a claw-foot tub.
-Look for an apartment with tin ceiling tiles.
-Work outside of my house two to three days a week (plan the week on Sunday). Too sad at home all the time.
-Take pretty pictures. Remember to bring camera.
-Make wishes.
-Interact with chickens. Chickens are nice.
-Wallpaper something.
-Drink more water.
-Sell my car for reals. Walk. Take the bus. Read books on the bus.
-Go places. Do things.
