okay. it is that time of the year, when we all make promises to ourselves that we never intend to keep. year after year i fall victim to the broken new year's resolution. i never seem to take into account three crucial factors when i make them:
1. i always underestimate my total lack of willpower
2. i never aim low enough
3. i don't allow myself enough "outs" (to borrow a phrase from my excessive texas hold 'em tournament watching)
to avoid the pitfalls of years past, i have decided to make five resolutions this year in hopes that i will be able to achieve a portion of one. this year i will (maybe):
1. do more fun things with the kids in order to provide more blog fodder
2. double my Bosnian vocabulary from 5 words to 10 words
3. learn to live simpler and greener
4. increase my cooking quality and quantity. however, it may conflict with my desire to:
5. lose weight - yeah, cliche, i know. but you can't beat the classics
wish me luck in my endeavors.
