Yes, I have New Year's resolutions. Oh yes! I do.
1. To be less of a Judgmental Jerk Wad. I realize I am judgmental. I am very intolerant of people who are intolerant. And yes, I realize that this is hypocritical, and I hate hypocritical people. They are so fake. So, you see the inherent problem with my behavior.
So, the specifics on how I will achieve this goal. I will not talk bad about individuals to anyone but my husband. (Hey, a girl's gotta vent sometime.) I will only make fun of stereotypical groups of people (i.e. Typical Wal-mart Shoppers) and I will only do it for the sake of humor, not maliciously.
2. To live a less processed and chemical life. I find the concept of sustainability very intriguing. Honestly, I would love to live on lots of acreage somewhere in the Pacific Northwest with a few close friends, raise yummy organic food and make as much stuff as we can. The boys will still go to work, the kids will feed the goats and chickens while me and my friends knit cute hats made from angora rabbit fur to sell at the local farmer's market. I don't see it happening any time soon, but it is a nice little dream.
Until then, we will eat our own chicken eggs. We will have a garden, dagnabbit! I will continue to use cloth diapers. I will make as much of our food from scratch as I can. No more cream of salt and MSG soup, no more cans of dough that pop, no more store bought mixes (with the exception of brownie mix, because homemade just aren't the same!) I am going to check around and find some locally grown meats and if we can afford it, we will eat it. I have also started experimenting with homemade natural cleaners. There will be lots more on this later, but so far it has been very fun and the stuff really works and works well!
So far that is it for my New Year's resolutions. I would like to add that I am going to quit caffeine, but we all know that is a fantasy. Maybe someday they will invent a patch or a pill like the ones to get off nicotine. Until that day, give me my Diet Coke and no body gets spanked!

Oh, I am so excited about your acres in the Northwest. I can hardly wait. Husband seems to still think it's a joke. But it sounds so good to me.
Tell more about your cleaners. I sprayed vinegar and water on my carpets and they no longer smell like dog breath. :)
Ha, ha, ha. Cream of salt soup and can's that poop. Hilarious.
