happy new year!

2009 has to be better than 2008, right?

Part of making the new year better than the old one is resolutions. I'm doing sort of a new thing with my resolutions this year. You see, I discovered a new website early last month. And by "discovered", I mean that it's been around for all of eternity and millions of people have been using it for ages. Kind of like when Columbus discovered America.

Anyway, it's called 43 things, and it's designed to help people set and reach goals. You can make up your own goals, or join in goals that other people are working on, and you can give and get support, track your progress, and see how other people reached goals that you're working on. I think it's a great idea, so I'm doing it. (9 things, not 43).

Some of my most important goals: be more patient with Gmaw, eat more fruits and veggies, sell the house in New York, and the ever-popular and elusive Be Happy, which is a goal I share with close to 20,000 people.

I'm also thinking of adding "eat less sugar" but I don't think I can commit to that yet.
