New Year, not so new me :)

So when the new year rolled around I decided to set some goals- super original, I know. One of them was that I was going to do a better job keeping up on the blog. I even thought up some really witty things to post about the New Year/my new commitment to blogging.

Sure enough, all of those witty thoughts in my head were pushed aside by more banal preoccupations. Like cooking dinner. And sleeping. Oh and the ever important and ever growing amount of laundry that needs to be done.

And then it hit me----> New Year=/= New You. The magazines lie, people. The New Year does not magically mean a clean slate. Those piles of laundry from Dec 31 roll over to Jan 1 (and sometimes to Feb 1, if we're being honest with ourselves). And you know what? I'm glad. I like my life. In fact, 99.99% of the time I love it.

So this is my ode to the New Year, and the old me. Still procrastinating, still doing the usual tasks. But hey, I did post to the blog. And its only February... wow, I'm impressing myself already.
