hello darkness my old friend

it's nice to sleep during the day again....

mid 2009 project: convert curtains to blackout and hang them on a rod instead of 2 nails

DONE and DONE!

working at night

means sleeping during the day

and even at night we have a street light that

shines right in on through the blinds

but now i am sleeping like a baby...

actually lots better.

perhaps the dark rings under my eyes

may even begin to fade.

perhaps...

hopefully.

happy 2010! perhaps if we record our resolutions we will still remember them in april and hold ourselves accountable in 365 days....
* finish all 2009 projects
** finish all 2008 projects
*** finish all 2007 projects
**** no starting new projects until the others are done
***** start including prayer and a scripture in mr.e's bedtime routine
****** family hike every week (our feeble attempt at exercise)
******* learn more about the old testament then the 6 stories we know (translates to going and listening in sunday school)

******** dial back the amount of treats we eat and jon is trying not to eat 3rds (should be easy cause about 67% of our diet now is sugar)
