better posture

so my husband told me i should start a blog. and here we are.

it's close to new year's and resolutions are on the mind. i know, i know...so original. but let me tell you--the most success i ever had with a new year's resolution was one of the years i was in college. my resolution was for better posture. it worked.

here are the joint resolutions for D and me:

1) drink only water and coffee....and diet soda. [this started as water only...then we both realized we might die without coffee. then D decided that diet soda has the same nutritional value as water. so to break it down for you, we are only allowed 2 cups of something other than water per day--2 of coffee, diet soda, or 1 of each. i think rules make it easier to follow resolutions.]

2) when both of us say "i don't care" about some decision, instead of trying to convince the other that we REALLY don't care, we count to 3 and say what we would choose if we had to. here's an example:

D: do you want to eat in or out?
me: i don't care.
D: ok on the count of 3. 1....2....3
me: out!
D: in!
me: .....now what?

luckily, this situation was easily fixed by me going out to get food from pei wei...and eating it in.

happy new year's.
