So it's that time to reflect again. We make our resolutions and hope that by the end of the year... we've at least remembered to finish one. This year I don't want to keep with the simple and practical resolutions... I need a challenge.
So, this year I'm going to share with you a list of resolutions I hope to meet. A list that may take over my entire existence... or not. I will however try.
1. Read a "Good Book". I never take the time to read a good book or any book. At one time I loved it but through the years my form of entertainment has become television or the internet - you do know faster information does not mean it's better. Here are a few books that have caught my eye:
When You Are Engulfed in Flames - David Sedaris
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
The Sound and The Fury - William Faulkner
Native Son - Richard Wright
I plan to read at least 30 books throughout the year and keep you on the loop. I'll share my views and opinions.. hopefully I'll receive some feedback and well we'll see how it goes.
2. Cooking. I can cook. I know how to cook. But I want to kick at cooking, especially Mexican Food.
Chili - hot and spicy chili
Mole - like mole
Meatballs - like grandma used to make
Bunuellos - for next year :)
And oh boy... so much more
3. De-clutter. I believe that says it all. It's tragic but it's so true.
4. Photographs. More snapshots of those unlucky souls that cross my path. Places... everyday life, people... my people.

5. Spending more alone time with my wonderful husband. :) No children allowed.
6. Appearance. I've never been a "poofy" girl. I don't care for jewelry, make up or big poofy hairstyles. But.. since I do feel change is good and I'm in the mood for change - this is something I will definitely work on.
7. Exercising. I don't like to use the D word... I'll use F for fit. I think fit is exactly what I mean. This is good to follow appearance.. don't you think? They both coincide with me. If I'm fit my appearance will be enhanced. Right? Right?
8. Money. Oh trouble trouble. I am so bad with money. Not that I go spending money on shoes or purses... I spend it on sodas and chips. I'm a junk food addict and I've passed it down to my family. I'm awful. I will have control. Did you hear me? I will have control!
9. Learning to speak new Language. This one is HARD! Japanese? Portuguese? English? :P
10. Blogging. YES! I said blogging.
I personally think this will be cathartic for me... good for my mind and soul. I need a calendar.
