Resolutions

Welcome to 2008! Got any resolutions?

I have a few, though I hesitate to tack the "New Year's" to them, since I had already decided to make these changes/efforts, New Year or no... well, OK, obviously it's not like I thought there was any uncertainty about the year turning over, like we were going to roll straight through December into, I dunno, Elftember or whatever. I just mean that the contracts I've made with myself have more to do with big changes in circumstances than with somewhat arbitrary dates, which--fingers crossed--might mean I'm more likely to actually follow through.

Here's the rundown:
  1. Update the blog at least once a week. To facilitate this, I'm going to put into effect a weekly feature suggested by my brilliant friend Erin, wherein readers will send me photos of outfits to deconstruct, WNTW-style. I promise to be gentle, though. I don't have all the details of this worked out (catchy title, place to send photos, etc.) but I aim to do so within the next day or two. Check back; I'll post.
  2. Get off my couch and out of my pyjamas. Get to know my new city. Get to know people in my new city--if you know anyone in Halifax between the ages of, say, 20 and 30, who would like to be friends with a hip, stylish CFA, direct them to this blog.
  3. Treat my body better. Keep off the heavily processed foods, get back into dance and yoga, always wash off my makeup before bed.
  4. Become a rock goddess. Learn to play wicked mandolin and bass solos. Sing.
  5. Take pride in my self-presentation. Look awesome every day.
  6. Start the business.
Since I have so much to do this year, I must get going. But I'll be back. Soon. With photos. (And speaking of, I added some visual interest to my previous post, so take another look-see.)
