I know a man, his name is Lang...

and he has a neon sign.  And Mr. Lang is very old so they call it "Old Lang's Sign."

I've never made any New Year's resolutions.  Ever.  What's the point?  If I could do what I wished to do I would just do it regardless of what month it was.  But this year I figured it wouldn't hurt to make a list of things I would like to work on with no real expectations.  That way I won't be so disappointed if I don't really accomplish anything but super proud of myself if I do.

Jess' Goals for 2012 (in no particular order):

  •  Market myself - send out letters/brochures/cards to companies in the Fargo/Moorhead and surrounding areas
  •  Start saving for an iPad2 and Q-chord to use in sessions and at home
  •  Get off the recliner and turn off the TV
  •  Play with my kids and husband more
  •  Knit something for everyone I love
  •  Make a monthly supper menu and make it happen in real life
  •  Play the piano
  •  Uncover my sewing machine and use it
  •  Drink less pop and more water
  •  Acknowledge that I am good at what I do
  •  Be happy with who I am and what I have - stop comparing myself to others


I had them numbered first but changed them to bullets because I thought it was kinda sad that the first thing on my list was about work and the last about self-appreciation.


As the monkeys run amok around me I am sure of one thing:  parts of this year will be filled with energy, experience, tears, work, 
sass, learning, anger, empathy, 

observation, dancing, relating, laughter, telling, singing, repetition, frustration, joy, excitement, creating, gaming, 
whining, humor, forgiveness and a whole lot of love.  And that is just the way I like it.

I cannot get over how big the kid are getting.

I like the idea of a list--takes the pressure off a bit, doesn't it?

And I'd like a nice soft pale purple scarf please. Almost the same color as your new colors here. Love it, by the way.
