Dear 2014,
Well, 2013 came in sucky and left the same way (flu, among other issues). While there were a few positive moments, the year was a tough one.
But 2014, I like the looks of you already. In your honor, I’ve made some resolutions.
I resolve to:
- Buy this. (Note: We tried a muffin tin. It didn’t work.)
- Watch “Breaking Bad.” (Finally.)
- Vacation in Amsterdam on a houseboat or cruise the Rhine with our best friends.
- Write more blog posts about the strange things that fascinate me*.
That sounds about right.
- Refuse to feel guilty for simply being happy to keep my children alive day to day.
- Care less about the constant snubs from members of Eddie’s family (his birthday, my birthday, boys’ birthdays, other important life events).
- Focus more on mutually satisfying relationships with friends (give and take, as opposed to us constantly giving).
- Devote more time to eating bread and cheese and other things that are not so good for me.
- Watch this regularly for a good laugh.
- Avoid making any more resolutions.
Welcome, 2014! Let’s treat each other well. OK?
Love,
Beth

Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 14,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
