New Year's Resolutions

1. Get in shape. GET. IN. SHAPE. 2. Learn to speak Italian.

3. Wear comfortable shoes most of the time. Because some of my uncomfortable shoes are really cute.

4. Finish "The Omnivore's Dilemna." I mean, it's been months.

5. Go to yoga regularly (for reals, Eileen).

6. Eat local food more often when possible.

7. Plant a vegetable garden.

Ok. Your turn...comments please.

(He tries it. No response.)

"You're not doing it right."
