Well, for once in my life I'm going to keep my resolution to lose weight. In 2011 I made a good start. So, for 2012, I hope to lose another 50 pounds as a modest and doable goal. If it goes like 2011, I will actually lose more weight. I'm eating healther, though I always thought I was fairly mindful (except for the insane amounts of bread and pasta I scarfed away). I feel like a new person, it's pretty great.
I did okay with this, lost nearly 100 lbs in 2012. I'm hoping for 50+ more in 2013. Going back to the gym is a priority which should help this along.

I also resolve to write more in 2012. I'm not particularly gifted, but I love it. That's what the blog is for and I plan to be a more regular poster.
Feh, did not nurture my creative side much in 2012. I got caught up in being responsible/caregiver and ended up not taking care of this part of me. I am hoping to spend more time focusing on the creative parts of me, and this will also involve less time sucking spent on Facebook.

I also resolve to do some serious rearch for Dorothy. 2011 slipped by with little hunting and gathering by me. Again, a process I enjoy and I hope to make a trip to WI to Madison, there's some good stuff hidden away there I need to access. NY beckons, too. The Gish papers are at the NYPL.
Snort, zilcho done on Dorothy except acquiring a few cool photos. FAIL.

The job thing is going to be a tougher nut to crack. I work for 2 really good people, but the firm itself, post merger, ack. It could not be more soul sucking. Environment can be stronger than will and I am surrounded by mega unhappy people. Being positive is what I always try to be, but it is getting harder to do. I'm waffling between fear of making the jump and landing in a worse situation or simply not finding another option. Gee that's a lousy thing to end on, isn't it?
I did not leap nor did I look. Being the primary income, well I chickened out in making a jump. I'm hoping the option of an LA office does materialize that will give me an easier opportunity to make different kind of leap.

Time will tell.
