Now that the forced good time that is New Year's Eve has passed, it's time to look ahead to the New Year.
1. I plan to be more social. Specifically, I would like to brunch more. I feel like I don't brunch properly anymore.
2. I plan to the run the 10-mile Junior League Mother's Day Race.
3. I would like to be a better skiier. And by better, I would like to learn how to. I have not been skiing since high school, but I loved it. Time to hit the slopes again.
4. I have to do something about my apartment. I need a new one!
5. And as usual, more writing and less resting on my laurels.
Finally, not to get all Krazy Kat Lady on you, but I think that if you can, you should take in a homeless animal in 2008. There are a lot of pets that need good homes and even a studio apartment in Manhattan is a better place for a cat or dog than a cage in a noisy shelter. Adult animals are also just as great as kittens and puppies. I just took in Peppe and he's five years old.
