Master of My Universe

Last night I babysat Adia while Spencer and Chrissy went to see Transformers 2. I totally got the better end of that deal.

This is Adia's Ramona Quimby haircut. I think it's charming, Chrissy apologizes for it to everyone she sees. Which gets kind of awkward when she's just going up to random homeless people like, "I'M NOT GOOD AT CUTTING HAIR!" and then they freak out because she's this tall, blonde goddess screaming "CUTTING," so I imagine they think she's an angel visiting the wrath of God upon them or something.


Adia and I walked over to Mallard Ice Cream, where we got a pint of coconut almond chocolate chunk ice cream for FREE because Spencer's friend Neill was working and he loves Adia. Score! Then we went home and watched Follow That Bird - not gonna lie, I went and added the soundtrack to my Amazon wishlist. Also on my list: The Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack and the Feature Films for Families Rigoletto soundtrack. Judge me if you must.

Also, I finally took custody of my guitar from Spencer. Now I just have to learn to play it...


This afternoon I had a GREAT idea. Instead of making outlandish New Year's Resolutions like losing 50 pounds (which would mean giving up all food, ever, and I hear that leads to death, so I'm thinking that resolution? A BUST), or going to the gym everyday (tricky when you don't belong to a gym), or being nice all the time (which would be easy if it weren't for YOU), I'm thinking I'm going to start making totally manageable ones. Only I always make my resolutions for my birthday because that's MY new year.

So before I turn 30 this year I want to:

Make cookies
Drink at least 10 mochas
Reread all the Harry Potter books
Get at least to season 4 on my summer of Buffy marathon
Get a haircut
Learn to play a chord on the guitar
Say at least 250 words
Smile at three people, OR smile three times at the same person

You guys, 30 is looking good.

I love your goals! I might borrow some of them myself...except maybe Harry Potter. Not sure if I want to reread Harry Potter (although the series is AWESOME)- reading seven books, now, that I could do.

Aerin - Thanks! I love them, too. Today I think I'm going to work on that goal about the 10 mochas.

So you've had a month ... how are the resolutions going? Also, I just remembered that I forgot to subscribe to the comments I've made so far. So don't ask me anything I have to answer, ok? RHETORICAL ONLY, PLEASE.

The resolutions are going GREAT. I've definitely said 250 words, I've smiled 3 times at the same person, and I'm almost finished with the HP books. The rest are on track, though I need to get on top of learning a chord. Getting a haircut will happen either next month or will have to wait until November - whenever I visit Utah I'll go see the girl I like there. Much easier than finding someone here.
