Today’s my 46th birthday, and I like to think of things I want to do a little differently from here on out. After all, life only gets shorter, so my list of “life is too short…” items should get longer, right?
My #1 Birthday Resolution: Don’t wear anything gray anymore. It makes me look horrid, and then I FEEL horrid because I look so awful. So out, OUT! with the gray tee shirts. I feel better already.
My #2 BR: Go to Trader Joe’s. I started a thread on whether it would be worth a trip, and enough people love TJ’s that I’m going to do it. And there is a Penzey’s Spice nearby, so hurrah! Road trip for papergirl! If I like it, I’ll plan a trip once a month or so, and not feel guilty about it.
My #3 BR: Continue Family Night. I realized that I wasn’t seeing much of the older kids, so several months ago I invented Family Night. Everyone is invited, I cook a huge meal (or set up a sandwich buffet or whatever), and we spend the evening around the table eating ourselves silly and catching up. The older boys (both away from home) seem to really enjoy it, and the younger ones get to see their older siblings for a while. It’s really nice.
That’s it for now…I’m still thinking, though.
