Goodbye "Girl's Next Door"...

Hello "Twilight"...

Let's see...new resolutions...hmmm. A list, shall we?

1. Actively making an effort to reduce the amount of chemicals we're being exposed to, particularly in our foods. I read this article in Mother Earth News, and it scared the living daylights out of me. Most of it I knew, but some of it I didn't (ie. canned foods have Bisphenol A in the lining. Argh.) Which brings me to number 2.

2. Amping up our garden. We had huge (and sometimes surprising) success with our potatoes, tomatoes, various herbs, peppers, summer squash, and onions last year. Most of what we got in the CSA we joined last summer were things we didn't particularly love, so we're going to go try and grow the things we did like, like Swiss Chard. Lots and lots of Swiss Chard.

3. Dave and I have a sweets obsession. So instead of making grand declarations about what we will and won't eat sweets-wise, I'd like to make more of our desserts at home, because store bought just isn't that satisfying. Also, I'd like to make our bread at home, too.

4. I'm pretty happy with my weight. I would, however, like to get my stomach muscles back. They disappeared sometime in February of '09, with good reason, but I kind of miss them. So does my lower back.
