So Far All's Fine in 2009

Dan and I quietly rang in the New Year.  Chloe went to bed  (after pulling ornaments off the Christmas tree, which she called "Mrs. Tree") and Dan and I watched "Stardust" on DVD.  I fell asleep during the movie and missed all the scenes with Robert DeNiro.  I did wake up in time to see the ending.  We toasted the new year (I had a nice glass of grape-apple sparkling cider) and watched the Clintons and Mike Bloomberg push the huge button to make the ball come down in Times Square. 

As for resolutions, I only have two, one of which has already been broken:

• Get more sleep - Um, if you check the time of this post, you'll see that I'm still up past 1:00 am.  But overall, I've been good about getting sleep - actually taking naps on the weekends (being pregnant has forced me to do so...) 

• No baked goods like cookies, cakes, etc unless I baked them or someone else that I know baked them.  Why is it whenever I say "baked goods" I think of weed-laced brownies?  But seriously, this pregnancy has heighted my sweet tooth and I've indulged a little too much in McDonald's apple pies and donuts.  So this resolution will discourage from impulsively eating sweets and encourage me to bake more.

I'm looking forward to this year.  It'll be full of change - the baby that will arrive soon; watching Chloe become a big sister; plus Dan and I will continue our house search.
