2005 Resolutions, blah blah blah

Because I'm a goal-driven person aspiring daily to be better, here's a list of my 2005 resolutions:

1--Break out of my cocoon. I'm shy. Perhaps you wouldn't believe this if you read some of my posts, but it's true. It's really bad...I hate calling people on the phone, I can barely look the cashier in the face at the grocery store, and I'd much rather e-mail someone than speak to them face to face. This year, however, I'm forcing myself to be outgoing and extroverted and fun. Check back with me in a weeks time and I'll let you know how it's going so far.

2--Wear more yellow. It's a happy color and reminds me of the sun. That's all I have to say about that one.

3--Become fully domesticated. I'll start by reading plenty cookbooks with tasty recipe's. Next, I'll apprentice myself under Mrs. Stewart and learn all the "good things" of domestication. After I learn all I can, I'll apply my new skills to my own life and enter a recipe for my marvelous Apple Pie into the county fair. Yes. That's what I'll do.

4--acquaint myself with eBay. I know how it works, I've seen it in action. But I've yet had my OWN experience with PayPal and all that stuff. Maybe I'll start by bidding on some fancy collectors item from "Singin' in the Rain."

5--Be happy. Generally I am happy but this year I'm gonna be even happier! It's going to be a great year with great things. I'm going to graduate from college, hopefully find a job, and relocate to my home-state, Utah. I'll work out because that always makes me feel good and I'll eat my vegetables. I'll be the happiest Lauren out there.

Tomorrow's the day. Wish me luck.
