2010 Personal New Year's Resolutions

So I have been thinking that I have worked a LOT this past year, and the imbalance of work/play has been drastically skewed. With this in mind, my resolutions this year are to bring more balance to my life, not necessarily by working less, but by weeding out some of the wasted time (I'm looking at you internet!) in favor of fun things that are new to me or that I haven't done in a long time (and that make me happy! Sometimes you forget how certain things make you so happy!) Quitting my day job is a big goal for me this year, as it's been really difficult to balance a full-time job and then come home and work on my personal business and then any freelance work that I have. Don't you just hate it when those pesky day-jobs get in the way?! I know that I'm lucky to work in a creative field, but after five years, it has taken it's toll on me and I'm ready for a change. Plus, the fashion industry isn't really where I want to be anymore. It's just overcoming that security job fear and taking that leap that stands in my way. Anyways, I started thinking of all the FUN things that I want to do or feel like I'm missing out on and decided to make them my resolutions for this year. I made a little doodle so that I can hang it up above my desk at home as a reminder too.

I hope everyone has a fantastic New Year and I want to thank you for reading my silliness and looking at my photos and art this past year. Hooray 2010! (don't you just love the positivity that comes with a New Year? Yay momentum!)

I made a fancy-pants New Year's Day Dinner. Curried Coconut Beggars' Purses, from The Candle Cafe Cookbook. Yum!! And Asparagus is the best thing ever. I'd highly recommend this, even though phyllo dough is a beotch.
Fakin' Bakin and Cheezy-sauce omelete, from The Vegan Ronin:

i sauteed garlic, a bit of ginger, red onion, some green and yellow zucchini, fakin' bakin. I then made a nutritional yeasty-like sauce with some nooch, EB, and a bit of soymilk to mix in with it.

I tried to flip it after the first side was done, but that didn't work at all. Tasted fine anyways, but just a little flimsier on the one side that wasn't browned. I think she mashed her tofu a great deal more than I did and that's why hers looks so creamy. I was surprised at the fluffiness of this though. sooo filling. 1 block of tofu made two omelets.
