Mexanese Mumbo Jumbo

Well another year has come and gone, and though I was planning on staying home last night, I ended up going out with Bailey. To Sandbar. And it was bad. Like really bad.

The only saving grace was that I had a few glasses of bubbly throughout the evening which did a fantastic job of causing me to forget parts of the evening. Of course this morning I was singing a different tune. But nothing some greasy greasy, a caesar and an Irish car bomb couldn't fix.

After brunch I went home and lounged on the couch with the felines, watching TV and surfing. As I perused FB, I came across a post by a friend I used to work with, and he explained that his 2011 resolution is to always have his camera with him and to post a picture a day. It got me thinking about photography, of course, and of my own resolutions, which I haven't made in a number of years because, let's face it, my laziness gets the better of me and they never last more than a couple of weeks.

Inspired by his post, I've decided to set certain challenges instead of resolutions for 2011, in hopes that they'll stick. So...drum roll please...here are my 2011 challenges:

1) Take more photos and post once a week. I was going to try the daily posting of photos but again, the depths of my laziness will undoubtedly get the better of me. I also decided that photos taken with my phone are acceptable since during the week I will likely not have my big camera with me, but that shouldn't prevent me from taking a great shot.

2) Cook a proper dinner at home once a week instead of my usual breakfast for dinner. This one might be the harder challenge to meet since cooking dinner for one usually sucks balls. But we'll see what happens.

So there you have it. I've put it in writing, out there in the series of tubes for the world to hold me to it. Fingers crossed I do.
