You’ve probably heard it all before, promises to do more, eat better, get organized.   I know I’ve made promises like that to your friends in the past.  Only to disappoint the both of us.  My only promise to you is that I will not make promises that I am not really interested in keeping. I think this year I will just work it out on a daily basis.

Yes, I could promise that you and I would run a 5K every month, but really?  I’m exhausted. I could probably commit to running 5K for the year.  Although how cool are free tshirts?  Pretty damn.  I need to find out who has the best free tshirts.

I could promise you that I would drink more water, but I just got a notice in my water bill that my city kinda failed their water quality test last month, and I hear bottled water is no better.  I think I’ll stick to Coca Cola, it’s got water.

Organization is something that I wish for every year, I will be sure to get the housekeeper on that.

As far as spending more quantity time with the family?  Well, I just did that.  We are all over the bonding.  In fact, I think we will get Wii’s for every room in the house and make our time together all that more precious (rare).  I’m perfectly OK with family dinners (it keeps the kids off drugs) and the annual holiday.  TV and the Internet seem to be doing a fine job of raising them.

I think it’s time that you maybe make some promises to me that YOU will keep.  Like maybe giving me my kids.  Do you think you could work something out.  I’ve begged your friends 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.  Sure they talked a big game, just couldn’t deliver.  Do you think you might be able to do something for me here?

I am looking forward to when you take the last of my babies to school.  And by “last of my babies” I mean, DEAR GOD, please let this be it.  I am looking forward to you teaching them new things, and having them become more and more independent.  I figure by the time they are all five I can leave them at home with a bag of Dorito’s and a case of apple juice boxes while I go away to Vegas for the weekend.  I figure with the money I save on a babysitter, I can upgrade to the suite, or maybe first class.

Speaking of Vegas, please work it out that I can go there this summer.  It is so lovely and hot there.  I <3 Vegas in the summer.

Also, if you could make my fruit trees produce this year, that would be awesome!  Of course if our journey goes as planned, I won’t be anywhere near my fruit trees when they do, but just in case.

If you see 2009 can you send him my love?  He was so sweet to me.  I can see, not only in general, but also my countertops.  2009 brought me both LASIK and a housekeeper.

Well, I think that about does it.  I won’t promise you anything, I won’t expect too much from you.  We’ll just kind of shack up for now, see how it goes.

Sincerely,

Annie
