the trials and tribulations of one dude, one chick, one princess, one crazy little guy, and two neurotic cats (the fish don't count... they come and go too quickly)

wit and wisdom of youth...





our clever girl figured out, on her own, how to open the photo booth program on our iMac, take pictures and play with the special effects. everyday i find new mugs of her and her brother on our computer.

happy new year!


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.
