I like to write A LOT of New Year’s Resolutions<\/b>.
\nI think statistically, this gives me a better shot at keeping them. I think I keep more resolutions than an average person; I really do stack the odds in my favor. :)<\/br>
\nBe more healthy – cook and exercise and drink more water (Monday I went for a jog and made homemade tomato soup, so I’m on the right track. :) )
\n<\/br>No desserts (or candy) til 3\/1 – I’m giving myself a mulligan on this b\/c I ate 2 handfulls of M&M’s without thinking at M&G’s wedding….but I had been up since 6am and wasn’t thinking straight. :) I have a stretch goal of 7\/1.
\n<\/br>No FRENCH FRIES (this does not include waffle fries and sweet potato fries) until 7\/1…stretch goal of 2011.
\n I think the other reason I keep some resolutions is that I build in exceptions. :)
\n<\/br>Learn to make crepes.
\n<\/br>Learn tatting. (Tatt at least one Christmas ornament.)
\n<\/br>No yarn purchasing until 7\/1 with a stretch goal of 9\/1 – I am not sure I can make it through the Christmas season without buying yarn.
\n This does not count the yarn I picked up for a friend the other day that she reimbursed me for. :)<\/p>\n

A few of my favorite Things<\/h2>\n

Hockey<\/strong>
\nreally enjoyed one of the fights at the hockey game Friday. Opposing team player interrupted a celebration after we scored and got socked. I like justice.
\nI combined two of my fav. things together. I wore my cream alpaca hat to the hockey game.
\ngood news: TH thought I had purchased myself a cute new hat. :)
\nbad news: Alpaca itches me! I’m thinking of lining the inside headband part with cream ribbon since my hair protects most of my head from the crazy thing. TH’s suggestion was a blow torch to burn off the fuzzies. true story.
\nThank goodness I didn’t make a blanket out of this really soft, surprisingly itchy yarn! – bullet dodged<\/br><\/br>
\nSyd<\/strong>
\n\"Christmas<\/a>
\n<\/br>
\nKnitting\/Crocheting projects<\/strong>
\nNeopolitan blanket – needs final square and assembling
\nbaseball blanket- needs finishing & detailing
\nbiscuit blanket – see for yourself. :)
\n\"Biscuit<\/a><\/p>\n

WoW blanket (30% done) – time to start the lion
\nSanta star vintage Christmas ornament (80% done)- it is laughable that I thought I was going to make several of these. :)
\n<\/br>projects planned for 2010 (in no particular order)
\nfinish WoW blanket
\ndodecahedran
\nknit socks
\nitty bitty hat for a baby (or 2)
\ndouble knit baby blanket
