Resolutions

I have many. probably too many and therefore am doomed to fail. Lets pretend otherwise for a minute; just listen up...


1. REFUSAL TO SUCCUMB TO THE PRE-MIDDLE AGED SPREAD
it happens to the best of us but there's no way I'm replacing all my jeans because Matthew wants to go for a gin after work every day. i WILL go to the gym and get my 6 pack back.

Target = my H&M Madonna skinnies



2. SPRING CLEAN MY LIFE
so i hoard things... what wrong with that? Shut up, I'll tell you what's wrong with it - my bedroom looks like a student halls of residence hovel. yes i know its boring but I'm going to buy some proper storage goddammit because Joanne was quite right in saying that its simply unacceptable to have a Hula Hoops box on top of my wardrobe filled with old work documents circa 2006, some magnetic rocks, a wind up snail and a disused ant farm.

Target = something that resembles a 29 year old woman's boudoir.





3. GO TO JAPAN
My esteemed colleague Robert is teaching English in Japan until September and i'm determined to visit him, taking Matthew with me. I'm in horrendous debt but see this as a once in a lifetime opportunity not to be passed up. I'm still paying for an extremely frivolous and spontaneous trip to Mexico last year so this will require some hardcore saving. No credit cards will be harmed in the funding of this trip.





4. DRAW MORE
I drew one portrait in 2008. It was a picture of Tiger Woods for Kash as a Valentine's gift to her boyf. This is not good enough. As a result of this creative juice absence, I've completely lost my mojo and even my handwriting looks shit.
The first portrait i draw will be of Sarah and Tayte - a present I'd promised for her birthday in August 2008. (must put "no more procrastinating" in my list of resolutions)
