New Years Resolution, 2009.

New Years Eve! I vacuumed my couch, cleaned up hidden ponds of cat puke, and put together all the financial papers and thingees I've been putting off for a while. Oh, and ate at Buona Terra, a scrumptious Italian restaurant in our neighborhood, which gave us an excuse to drive our new car. So here a two lists for the New Year.

Top Five Things that Work in our New Car that Didn't Work in the Old Car.
1. Heat
2. Gas Gauge (all dash gauges except for speedometer)
3. Windshield Wiper Fluid Reservoir
4. Cruise Control
5. Moon roof controls (doesn't open randomly while driving)

Tim also notes that this car gets to the Pizza Hut buffet faster than the Audi, hint hint.

2009 New Years Resolutions
1. Get a steady volunteer gig with a theatre.
2. See a play at least once a month.
3. Keep credit card debt at zero.
4. Run another marathon.
5. Learn to play racquetball
6. Record more songs.
7. Back up the laptop.

Doable? Prob. Tim and I already tried to play racquetball the other day, which was pretty funny considering I've never even seen it played before. The last play I made was to swing the racquet with both hands at the spot my head had just been in. I also managed to miss the ball and fall over from the sheer force of my swing. It was pretty awesome.

Wait, number 4, run another marathon. What-What? Way to go Ruth! I'll be there to cheer you on, but from the sidelines this time. No marathons for me in 2009. But I do already have 4 half marathons planned... :)

p.s. I MISS YOU.

Ruth, didn't you play racket ball in gym class in high school? That was fun (the goggles were gross though).

Passing thru.......good resolutions.

There's n-o-t-h-i-n-g to racquetball. As long as my arm is attached, I'll continue to play.

(Wonder if I just set myself up to finally use that dismemberment insurance ?)
