(It’s funny how having time off of work means having no time to write. More funny sad than funny ha ha, in case you find yourself laughing. But then, none of the above was even remotely amusing, so maybe you’re just drunk.)
Just like at the beginning of every new year, I have a few resolutions in mind for myself, one of which I already began to ruin by washing out the paint brush in the sink, then letting the water go down the drain. Even though the can advised against letting the paint get into the water system, what the hell was I supposed to do with the warm, soapy water in which I washed the roller (as the can instructed me to do)? Yes, I am trying to be more eco–conscious, except when I am contaminating the ground water with paint.
Björn and I have also gotten into the really bad habit of buying food and summarily forgetting about it for so long that it eventually grows legs and evicts itself out of our fridge. So, the other resolution is manifold in its scope: clean out the fridge more often so we can see what the hell’s going on in there; buy less food; eat the stuff we buy. We’ll let that package of chicken breasts we found in there today slide.
I have also resolved to not to resolve to lose weight or become a nicer person and whatnot, because that just never works. I was never patient before, so why start now?

I'm glad that ours is not the only household that inadvertantly allows large quantities of food to spoil. I think that I shall also finally resolve to put a stop to it, instead of just thinking that I should.
I always feel terrible when I have to throw food away. As I toss it,I visualize starving families in Asia who would have made use of every last bit of it...(Thanks, Dad and the Catholicism).
On the other hand, I have a big painting project on the horizon and I can't promise that I won't wash the paintbrushes in the sink.
