It's been a good year! And how could it not be when it was rung in with matching pajamas and good old pot and pan banging? I've been thinking about the collages Cath inspired our apartment to make in January... it's been fun to have a visual representation of my resolutions for the year. And while mine was practically a formulaic spreadsheet compared to the creativity of everyone else's it was a healthy exercise for me to use that other side of the brain (I always forget which side is which) at least once in the year, nevermind the fact that since January 9th I haven't even attempted a creative thought. And looking at it now, I think my collage is a pretty good representation of the year... Luckily I had the foresight to make "laziness" seem like a virtue by putting it in as a resolution (and boy did I outdo myself there). However, unfortunately my 2007 flossing record is less than 100%, but maybe next year's collage can give me better gum hygiene along with the perfect body that has also eluded me despite my including both in last year's goals. I guess that putting them on a piece of paper and then eating brownies for the next 364 days with only intermittent flossing doesn't really constitute change in either area...And one last thought: I'm learning from Linds' example and my prior failures. Dating was featured (albeit subtlely) on Linds' collage last year, and she's been dating the most remarkable young man practically ever since. I completely overlooked dating on mine and I'm neither in like nor in love with anyone as the year comes to a close. Coincidence? I think not! But don't worry, I'm taking the proper precautions in this year's version (and just think... if linds' relatively small plug for relationships on last year's collage turned out so well, just think how successful a life-size promo will be!)

Liz, Liz, I love the picture but what exactly is your arm doing? I stayed up late last night worried that I aden't been flossing and about my oral hygene as well. It is quite disconcerting. As for goals, what are they made for except to be broken once in a while?
Why getting ready to "bang" a pot, of course. If you look more carefully you'll notice that what seems to be an oddly positioned arm is holding a spoon that will clank against the pot in my other hand just moments after the picture is taken...
I am so excited that you are coming to ny... or maybe you are already here. I will let you know if I ever come to the city :) yay
Liz, I just wanted to remind you that while I lived with you, you were really good at flossing your teeth. I remember you coming into mine and Steph's room to use our mirror for your flossing...at least you kept your goal for half a year!
i miss your blogging liz! i hope you are enjoying the things that are keeping you busy and away from such things.
LIZ! I hope you get this. I wandered across your blog when looking at others that I found and wanted to say HELLO! I want to talk to you or at least chat by computer. You can check out my blog lifeoflaina.blogspot.com. I miss you and want to hear from you.
