feliz año nuevo

It's after 2 a.m. and I can't sleep even though EZ went to bed three hours ago and won't be up again until 7:30. This is the only reason I'm up past midnight on New Year's Eve. Bruce and I aren't incredibly celebratory about this holiday. In fact, he has been dead asleep next to me for the past four hours. So why not list my goals for 2011?

(By the way, I prefer the word "goals" to "resolutions" because the root word for "resolution" is "resolute" and it's too close to "absolute," which then feels like too much pressure.)

So back to a few of my goals...

1. Finish a full marathon.
2. Finally take that online photography course.
3. Document in photographs all of the things I will miss most about Mexico. Starting with this:

Photobucket
The Tuesday Market

But more on that later.

Adios, 2010. Buenos dias, 2011. Here's to 365 days of awesome.

I like that...keep it simple, just three. Except the three are very time consuming and sound wonderfully fun. The last two go together. I think Mexico City is photogenic.

I love the Mexico markets! They are so colorful and cheerful, it makes me want to come back there. Do you know where you are heading to this summer? Are the states calling your name or is another country going to get your awesome family?! Hope its close to us!!!

Seriously bruce couldn't hold on til midnight? Man what's up weak sauce? So a marathon, huh? I think that sprint triathalon is about all I'll commit to for 2011.

Whoa whoa whoa. I didn't get past the first sentence.

Went to bed at 11pm & won't be up until 7:30pm? At like 10 weeks?

Teach me. I'm not kidding.

I'm not sure if you are an inspiration with your goal to run a marathon or if it just tires me out thinking about it.
