New Month's Resolutions

A year seems like a long time to stick to, so here are my resolutions for the next month:

1. Order this amazing book I found today in Barnes and Nobles, and make something from it. Even if it's just one bib, make something!

2. Celebrate not feeling like this (below) anymore by getting out and about! I.e. walking the dog further than to the mailbox.

3. Take photos of some of the beautifully rusty buildings in downtown Bryan. Who knows when they might get new roofs?

4. Cook. More. At least five nights a week, let's say. And no more bloody canned soup!

That's it!

I feel confident I can stick to these, and enjoy sticking to them.

It's high time for pie time

Baby don't you cry,

gonna make a pie,

gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle,

Baby don't be blue,

gonna make for you,

gonna make a pie with chocolate and bananas!

Yes, it's time to use up everything in the cupboards before we move! Hello, pie crusts I bought months ago! Good day, pudding packets! How are you, yummy yellow bananas?

We're so excited to be leaving, and are spending the weekend packing boxes! We've decided to haul it all across country ourselves after getting quotes from three of the least trust-worthy people I've ever meet... which will be an experience, I'm sure!

Warning: future posts may make contain the words y'all, howdy, and Taco Cabana and excessive use of cowboy hat imagery!
