Maybe this will be the year that I pay off all my debt, lose the 10 extra pounds (and maybe 15 more for vanity’s sake), get promoted, conceive a child, program the guts of a brilliant web application that has been gestating in my brain for 2 years, and empty a compact full of eyeshadow.  Anyone else love using up and throwing out old makeup?  No?  It’s just me then. Oh well.

Sadly, all of those things were supposed to happen in 2011.  And before that, they were supposed to happen in 2010.  But I did manage to get the garage cleaned out last year.  Actually, the Husband did it.  Yup, I guess I have to call 2011 a big fat bust.  I did get a nice raise (by threatening to quit), but other than that, crap.

2012 seems like a good number.  I spent the first week of it blowing goobers of snot and blood out of my nose, but I’m sure 2012 can make that up to me.

I have been kicking butt on eating vegetables.  In the past 7 days, I have consumed at least 3 different vegetables every day.  I’ve had carrots, broccoli, corn, red & green peppers, red & white onions, winter squash, tomatoes, spinach, tomatillos, and brussels sprouts.  According to my mother-in-law, brussels sprouts are the new “in” vegetable.  I had no idea.  I need to keep up better on yuppie food trends.

Now it’s time for me to attempt to work my way out of the productivity nadir that was 2011. It’s kind of like the hangover of a bad year.  I think I’ll start by playing consecutive games of Mah Jong Tiles for the next six hours.
