Happy New Year

I need to figure out my resolutions for 2012.

Last year's resolution recap:
1. Don't get bogged down by clutter - Yeah, uhhh.. my house looks like a baby blew up in it.. on top of our normal clutter.  It's one of those one step forward and three steps back type of deal (yes, I know what the actual saying is, this is just how it compares to our house).
2. Bake more bread - well, I didn't bake less bread but I didn't exactly bake a lot of bread.
3. Enjoy every minute even when it sucks - I think I did pretty well with this one.  I thought about this one a lot lately and honestly, once we started actively supplementing Ziva with formula and we weren't relying on my non-existant supply to feed her.. it was like a weight was lifted.  That first week or so, I honestly was scared that we ruined our lives.  Once Ziva was actually not starving and became her happy satiated self, it was amazing.  I have enjoyed every moment since then.  Even when she's screaming her head off for no reason whatsoever and I want to get frustrated and annoyed, I take a step back, take a breath, and remember that she will only be this little and this helpless once.  She's already crawling and getting around - by this time "next year", she's going to be driving and moving out and marrying the person of her dreams and having her own kids.  It's so freaking crazy.

I think 2012's resolutions should include something about getting rid of crap/stop buying as much crap, and keep on enjoying things.  I'll have to think of "official" ones though.

Happy New Year!!

Project 365

Project 365 deserves it's own post. 

Here is my year in review: Starting in January:  http://iphoneproject365.com/photos/alibali?date=201101
Obviously, the vast majority of pictures taken after June 17 are of Ziva.. it's pretty awesome having an *almost* daily shot of Ziva even if it's just a quick pic taken with my phone. 

I also skipped one day this year.  February 23.  This is because I specifically did not take a picture all day because I wanted to save it for a picture of Sophie since Mark and I went to meet her that day.  Once we were there, I was (obviously) distracted by the brand new baby and talking to Tiffany and Dave so I did not take a picture.  But, at least I have a good excuse and I didn't fake it by taking a picture some other day and passing it off as 2/23. 

I'm going to do this again this year but use a different app on my phone since this one you have to manually update the photos to your account so that's a pain and it doesn't auto save.
