It is hard to believe that today is the last day of 2008. Time really flies when you get older. This was a great year! Sonny moved here, which is probably one the best parts of the year. The other best part of the year... OBAMA!!! It is so fucking rad to have a president in office that I care about and have faith in. Other rad things about this year, I starting doing crafts and sewing again. It's so cool to have a hobby and have that feeling of success when I finish making something. And this year I was lucky to travel to Park City, LA, Austin, Europe, Shreveport, Miami, the Catskills, St Thomas, and Las Vegas.
One very cool thing about 2008 is that I can pinpoint the absolute best day of the year. April 25. Brian and I rode bikes through Amsterdam. We had so much fun. I wish I could relive that day over and over again.
Update... I almost forgot to mention the other best day of the year, April 6. (I really liked April) On this day I got to see all of my babies in one day! It was so fun. Audrey pointed to cousin George on a quilt, Dom told me I was his best friend, and Shae wouldn't leave my side.
Now I have to make some resolutions to make 2009 great. But first, here were my resolutions for 2008 (with updates):
1. go to the gym and get cute for me! (I went to the gym and I'm very cute. But didn't really keep that up)
2. eat healthier and drink less alcohol. (not so much. I drink a lot)
3. keep going (restart) guitar. forget voice (fail)
4. have a positive attitude about work and keep doing things to make me happy outside of work. (all and all I was good with this one. I was positive about work until about a month ago)
5. be crafty. keep cross stitching. start a new quilt, finish Dominic's quilt. (did not finish dom's quilt and now he's way too old for it. But I was very crafty this year and made a lot of cool things.)
6. get out of the house more and explore this rad city. (this I definitely did. we found so many cool places to hang out this year and discovered one thing I love doing, walking across the brooklyn bridge)
7. find a hair dresser in NY. (check. though I still miss Shelly)
Okay now for 2009:
1. keep crafting. I want to knit an afghan and make 2 quilts. Dom's quilt will now become Jen's baby's quilt.
2. be better at keeping in touch with my friends. I miss them all so much, but I'm horrible about calling. To think I used to love talking on the phone is nuts.
3. eat better, drink less and live a much healthier life. No more beer every night. And no more lazy pizza ordering because I don't to make dinner.
4. be positive about myself. I've been very hard on myself lately. I don't like the way I look, talk, act, nothing. So for 2009 I'm surrounding myself with optimism and I'm accepting me for me.
5. work is not my life and I'm not going to let it make me sad or stressed out. see above.
6. be nice to Brian all the time. I can be very bratty and have gotten easily annoyed lately and that's going to stop.
7. This one will make a lot of people happy (namely my mom and Patty) Get Pregnant! (sorry sonny)
And I'll sign off with my two favorite dudes. Happy New Year!!!

I'm so glad you had a great year. I like the resolutions for 2009. My favorite is the last one! Hey and you're already off to a good start with the calling more often one (I just got off the phone with you).
I'm so excited to see you in a couple of weeks. We'll have to take advantage of your last year's resolution to see this rad city, you can show us all your cool finds. Love you.
my new years resolution is to bring RCH Clan to the top of the tables in Warhawk! -Doobs
you have a lot of resolutions...i just made one. they are all very good though. i think if you focus mostly on #4, all the other ones will fall into place naturally. to help you get started with #4...i think your the prettiest gal ever, both inside and out. :)
happy new year!!
I know I have nerve commenting on YOUR resolutions but here I go anyway:
1) I hope you never stop crafting you are so creative and I love everything you make!
2) I think you do just fine keeping in touch. I never feel neglected by you. You know just how to make all of your friends feel extra special. I just hope you don't feel neglected by me. It is hard to call as much as we want. We are all busy people now. That doesn't mean you don't think about your friends every day and I know I think about you all the time...your name comes up every day!
3) I bet Brian could help you with this one. Get him to take over cooking one night a week. He may end up really liking cooking. He can do what Ken does-look online for recipes and try them out. If it sucks laugh about it and order pizza!
4)I agree with Kristen this is the main thing. I too think you are fantastic in every way!
5)Good for you. When you are a mommy this one will be soooo easy!
6) This one is impossible! We are women with raging hormones. It is hard to snap out of that mood sometimes. It is definitely worth a try though. I wish I could make Ken feel loved 24/7 because he is so much better at it than I am. Let me know if you come up with any great ideas...
7) This one makes me super happy but sad that I most likely won't be near you to share in the joy of pregnancy and birth. You know it is my favorite thing ever. I guess I'll just have to send you a bunch of books!
