i don't like resolutions - basically i am not very good at keeping them. maybe - just maybe - if i post them for all my readers (which i assume is worldwide by now) to see i will be inclined to keep them. afterall i wouldn't want to let anyone down. even the readers who stalk and i don't really know.
here they are: take them with a grain of salt. and please, under no circumstances, ask me how i am doing at keeping them.
1. run a 1/2 marathon. trey and i are actually training together for this one, so it may happen, assuming neither of us break any bones and i don't show up pregnant. (only kidding) we are running (or planning to run) the 1/2 in nashville on april 26th. if you are there, look me up, i will be wearing a pink running skirt. i will be honest: i want to run it only so i can wear the pink running skirt.
2. learn to cook. and i mean more than opening a can of green beans and baking a chicken with lemon pepper on it. i told my mom the other day i cooked roast and potatos and onions and carrots. well, mama, it was only the partial truth. it was a tyson dinner kit. but i did add a cup of water and turn on the crock pot, for what its worth. i could eat cheerios everyday for dinner but am slowly realizing my 6'5'' husband requires a little more. i shall try, trey, i shall try. don't expect too much.
3. not complain as much. i don't see it as complaining - i see it as knowing what i want. take last night. we got in bed around 10. about 10:15 i started confronting sweet trey about the 'ball-ly' sheets. don't act like you don't know what i am talking about. i know you do. when the washer and dryer puts little ball things on the sheets? anyway. no comfort. i wanted the nice ones in the closet in the guest room. and i wanted them on the bed then. right then. so i made trey wake up around 10:45 so i could change the sheets to the no-ball nice sheets. i guess i complained. a little. bless him. i will try not to do that as much.
4. no guilt. i feel guilty. a lot. about stuff i have no control over. i have gotten better at this but still hate when i feel like i can't be something or somewhere for someone or if something goes wrong. "no guilt in life, no fear in death - that is the power of christ in me" - that is a line in a song. i like it. i will try. don't make me feel guilty if i can't keep this resolution.
i think 4 is plenty for now. there are more in my mind, but why bother with that many? i should focus my attention to the 4 at hand.
i leave you with a picture from dinner party at toby's the other night:

Great resolutions!
On the deal with cooking... have you tried Taste of Gourmet? My sister is a consultant, and she swears by how easy it is. My bro-in-law is the cook of the house, but she is slowly coming around and these almost ready-to-eat meals help out the most. Also, she has a plethora of Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals cookbooks. She vows that they are easy as pie (well most of them).
Hope to see you soon! I'm sure your office has been way too quiet without everyone mulling around!
LOVE all the resolutions! One of mine is to run a half and full marathon. The only problem is...I can't train for a while. :) Well, at least until all the surgeries are over with. haha! I can't believe you made Trey change the sheets at 10:45!!!!
why am i not surprised that you have a pink running skirt?
also, you must stop joking with me about you being pregnant. you're like the boy who cried wolf.
I am not over changing the sheets after going to bed! You're crazy! :)
Those song lyrics are my favorite as well- that song is awesome.
I haven't washed our sheets in over a year. SYKE! But I bet the thought made you fell icky anyway.
Throw out those sheets. Refuse to sleep on any besides 100% cotton.
Life is too short for bad sheets.
Go, Feather! LJLL
