if we don't change directions soon, we'll get to where we're going...

things i've learned/relearned recently:
  • tailing someone doesn't necessarily mean that they will drive faster, or change lanes.
  • giving my best doesn't necessarily mean it will be enough for someone else.
  • competence is relative.
  • explaining myself to someone won't always make them understand, no matter how i say it, or how many times i say it.
  • i need to be happy with what i give, rather than expect/hope others to be happy with it. (how "easier said than done" is that?!)
  • i really need to pay attention to the things i pass, especially when i'm going in circles.

next year's (potential) resolutions:

  • quit smoking between cigarettes.
  • try to lose more weight than i find.
  • read classic children's books with my kids.
  • help out in D1's math class at least 2x a week.
  • keep my new freezer full.
  • buy a new pocket calendar. (and use it)
  • go running with screg up the mountain at least every other month.
  • use my slr more.
  • blow up my favorite pics and make photo albums.
  • get a brazilian wax.
  • use my cookbooks.
  • travel.
  • get a tattoo
  • be more girly... which includes the following:
  • a. cut my toenails on a more regular basis.
  • b. brush my hair every day.
  • c. stop wearing men's socks.
  • d. throw away any make-up item over a year old. (shogun, i have lipsticks you gave me from 1993ish...)
  • e. get a haircut more than once or twice a year. (this year's grand total is 2)
  • f. stop wearing tennis shoes or vans with everything...
  • don't get into any (more) car accidents

i think that about covers it. for now... oh!!! wait!! how could i have forgotten??

  • get the gumbo recipe from hot fudge. no matter what it takes. start of with the obvious tactics.. loosen her up on plum wine, hang a couple pics for her, wine and dine her at her favorite restaurant... must....have...gumbo....recipe....

yeah, i think all of these apply to you, mikshir! let's all start the new year off with a field trip to the wax shop! screg can do his legs, clark can do his baby hair ass, i'll get my back done, the rest of us can do a straight brazilian!

we'll go in my van!
no fighting over the front seat! :)

don't worry about cutting your own toenails . . . pedicures, baby, pedicures!!

better yet, perform a "do-it-yourself" brazilian wax!!!!!

dude, i can barely manage to wax my upper lip and not pull off too much skin. there ain't no way i'm gonna do my own brazilian wax.. besides, i'm really not that flexible. for some reason, people seem to think i am, but really, i'm not.
