New Year's Resolutions & To Dos Updated 12/18/2005 Here's my list: 1. Roll 401(k) over into IRA. [Found out better not to do this for financial aid reasons]] 2. Renew driver's license. [Done. But how come even though I wore a chocolate brown sweater to take my photo, I am wearing a pale pink sweater on my license?] 3. Take a fabulous vacation over spring break - Madrid, Warsaw, or Moscow. [Well. Spring break has passed. But next spring break I am going to Paris!] 4. Keep adding to the site - write once a week at minimum. [So far, so good.] 5. Sew something. 6. Quit a vice. [Does boys count?] 7. Read 10 non-law school books (a sad, sad state of affairs that my goal is only 10 books). 8. Take a cooking class. 9. Return my body to pre-law school shape. [Not even close.] 10. Go on a date - just one; that's all I'm asking, people. 11. Call my old mentee, Samone, and see how she's doing. [Good, that's how she's doin'.] 12. Get back in touch with all my friends that I've forgotten since I've entered the seventh circle of hell. 13. See a movie at Hollywood Forever Cemetary. 14. Call Cingular and complain about this merger - hello, I've nicknamed myself DCG, dropped call girl. 15. Get my credit report all fixed up - do I look like I get my gas at the Mobil in Kansas? 16. Find a summer job that pays. 17. Go back to NYC to visit Brie, David Friedman (muffin!) et al. 18. Refrain from going overbudget next semester (I mean, isn't $30,000 of debt a year enough? Thank you, governator!) [I'll just tell you now this ain't gonna happen. Thank you Santa Monica Subaru.] 19. Go out to eat - just once - at a nice restautant where I'm impressed with the food. [I took care of this one in Boston - thanks, Kates!] 20. Get Ethel (my cat, of Fred & Ethel fame) to lose weight. [Thanks to Reduced Calorie Formula Natural Balance, both those little sons of guns are much closer to their fighting weight. Ethel can now jump onto counters unassisted.] 21. Get the cats a water fountain dish. 22. Keep my pets' pet, Punxsutawney Phil, a betta fish, alive. NOTE: Never get your cats a fish. It seems like a good idea - something for them to watch while you're gone - but really, it's a deathtrap for the damn fish. [Phil died in November. Sucks.] 23. Eat more vegetables! [Yay, I am actually doing this. Mainly because I agree with Crystal that vegetables are only meant to be consumed fried or sauteed in heavy oil, I have mastered the art of sauteed green beans at home.] 24. Oh, and fruit. It's a wonder I don't die of scurvy. 25. Get enough miles to take a free trip. 26. Return hair to something approaching natural shade (3/4 there). 27. Find a stress-relieving hobby (drinking heavily doesn't count). 28. Learn to make lists without parentheses after every item (unlike this one). 29. Get at least one A. [Hallelujah!] 30. Learn to golf. 31. See a Grant Langston show again, even though I have no Trip to go with me. 32. See my brother's new apartment in Sunnyvale and visit Urs and her new kitty in Santa Cruz. 33. Drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day. 34. Cook myself a meal now and then. [Do the sauteed green beans count? I have to clean the pan after.] 35. Go see a free show at Amoeba Music. 36. Make sure to get to a museum again this semester. [The Getty, where I done fall down, with Brie.] 37. Get some exercise at least 5 days a week. [HAHAHAHAHHAHA] 38. Return to my pre-school (that's pre-law school, not preschool - I'm not planning on breaking out the ruffled bloomers) dressing and grooming habits. 39. Write thank-you notes. 40. Do my outlining BEFORE finals. [Didn't happen.] 41. Be a better sister. [Well, Penny says I'm much less of a bitch now, so...] 42. Go to a wine tasting. [But already have one planned for January!] 43. Stop saying stupid things when drunk. [Why did I even put this on the list? It might as well have been, "find a cure for the common cold."] 44. Go to the dentist. 45. Get new lenses for my glasses. 46. Keep my apartment clean 80% of the time. [I'm at 70% I would say.] 47. Go to the movies more often. 48. Turn off the Internets when attempting to study. 49. Practice more tolerance. 50. Get old photos of life in NY, Santa Cruz and SF up on the site. 51. Have company over more often.
