Okay, i'm a little late but i'm still recovering from our raging New Year's (and by raging i mean that my post-breastfeeding self had more than 2 drinks! I had 3 and then went to bed! Whoohoo!). My resolutions this year are the following in no particular order:
- Hire a maid.
- Hire a nanny.
- Hire a cook.
- Find someone to do workouts for me that will tame my out of control a**.
- Get some fire and ambition.
- Start learning my son to make me bloody marys like Emma Thompson's five-year-old does.
There are a few other goals like find a new place to live and figure out some sort of gainful employment but they are minor. I also would like to fit in reading waaaay more trashy magazines but really, who has the time? And get cable so we can watch more TV. (It's goddamn un-patriotic how little TV we watch. NSA's gonna tap our phones if we don't start watching CNN and TBS pronto. And ESPN. How I covet thee. I must be the only wife on the planet begging her husband to get cable so we can watch more sports). I also solemnly promise to get my hair cut in 2006. I made it all the way through 2005 without so much as a trim. I really have a problem. I think it's a combination of being non-committal and hating change as well as fear of finding nothing to chat about with my hairstylist. That and the inevitable chiding he/she will give me for my hideous box coloring. And that i will have to pay many, many dollars to go through this hell. I seriously have more fun at the dentist's. What else? Must take more pictures of Lowell. I don't think that the 3 dozen a week we're currently taking is enough to document his every changing cell (you think i'm kidding don't you?). And more video. And more obsessing over him in this blog. Okay! I think my work is done here. Good luck to you, Gentle Reader, on your resolutions for 2006.
Just make sure that none of these newly-resolved-upon activities cut into your time spent blogging. Those of us out here in the midwest need our regular dose of tales from Lowellville, after all.

damn, why do my posts always go on twice. Cause I'm old?

You're not old mom, yet. And she does too! Little Gaia makes her mommy bloody marys. It's in this month's TONY Kids. So awesome.

I want ESPN! Me Me! Why did they have to switch Monday Night Football to ESPN?? Why?
And I want to be a post-breastfeeding that can drink vodka from the bottle and snort coke. Or maybe just have a cup of coffee. Baby steps.
