Resolutions. I haz them.

Right.

My trip to the states was great. Difficult in some ways, but great overall. (Getting back on a plane while my mom watches on the other side of the security glass is never not going to be AWFUL. I was trying not to burst into tears so that the TSA people didn't think I was unhinged. I mostly succeeded, I think I probably just looked like I had a very bad case of indigestion.)

Shopping at Target was everything I hoped it would be (inexpensive and fruitful!). I now have clothes that fit. Woo!

Now, on to my resolutions. I think I can meet most of these.

1. Keep in better contact with people. I'm good about talking to mom, but not so great with other members of my family. I'd really like to chat more with folks.

2. Use my slow-cooker at least once.

3. Walk around the block during my lunch break.

4. Write for at least 10 minutes a day.

5. Attempt to save more money (this is difficult as I get paid next to nothing, but I'm going to try).

6. Read more.

7. Take another Coursera course.

8. Finish an original novel this year.

There. I think I can do those. *nods*
