Resolutely.

I have been thinking about this a lot over the past few weeks: what will I change in 2011? I'm not really a "resolution" type girl, although I am in love with challenging and bettering myself. I'm fairly certain that by now, in my 29th year, I cannot be changed. While there are plenty of areas in which I can improve...I bite my nails, I stay up late and sleep in, I'm never on time, I speak before thinking, I skip the gym...I have decided that these  flaws characteristics are who i am. I'm comfortable with these things and wish not to mess with them.

So, what to do?

I will try new things.  Things that scare me, things that intimidate me, things that I've never done before. Add to my resume, if you will. For example: attempt recipes that require more than four ingredients and use scary words like 'blanch' and 'dredge', sew a clothing item well enough to become part of my wardrobe (with little to no help from my mom), and play Craps at a real live casino (as opposed to online tutorials). I'm also toying with the ideas of learning a new language and running a (half) marathon.

I may not get around to doing all of these things in 2011. If not, there's always next year. And I'll need some projects to keep my mind off the fact I'll be turning 30. *yikes*.
