Welcome Back

Hello readers! Welcome back from your holiday trips, drug or airplane induced as the case may be. I thought I might write some New Year's resolutions so that when I look back at my blog after 2013, I can have concrete, documented reasons to feel ashamed.

1. Do yoga.
I won't deny that I want a yoga butt. Still, there are plenty of other reasons why yoga is the perfect prescription for 2013. It can increase mindfulness and help me live in the moment. I think it also helps with stress, libido, dry cuticles, and vermin infestations.

2. Go cross-country skiing one damn time in my life.
Is that so much to ask?

3. Leave the cave.
Picture me snuggling under the blankets in my nice, King sized bed with fresh sheets, surrounded on three sides by pale blue walls, with some hot chamomile tea, dark chocolate, and a good book. Now imagine me doing this for four straight days, stepping outside of my room only to piss, shit, and raid the fridge. Greasy hair, sweaty pajamas, crumbs all over the bed, and a growing fear of stepping outside, ever again. Yeah, I really need to leave the comfortable, safe, cave-haven I made for myself.

4. Obligatory lose 10 pounds, see friends and family more, volunteer, and stop smoking/drinking/leaving dirty diapers under my neighbor's bed resolution.
