A new year......... a new me! Okay that's a bit of a joke, but I think I can improve upon the old me and make the old me, a better and more improved version! so here is how I will go about that.
1. For my mother's sake I will stop saying "My DAD'S DEAD". I will replace that with " My dad has passed away peacefully and he is with his Heavenly Father". Does that sound better? I like the shock value of the first because it still is so shocking, but my mom doesn't approve. I will miss seeing my moms eyes pop out of her sockets when I say that but I will have to think of something else to shock her with.
2. I will once and for all clean out my basement for all of you who want to hang out in an unfinished basement. I have no idea why but my kids friends think it is a cool place to check out. That is the scariest part of our house and for those of you who think my house is clean, it is not!
3. On a more spiritual note........... I will not procrastinate doing my lesson for the YW. It is really hard to do my lesson at the last minute when church now starts at 9:00.
4. I will change my personal quote from " Fit Before Forty" to "Fat Before Forty". I have one year and it is not looking very good for me. I always wanted to be in the best shape of my life when I turn 40. I will have to think about that one for awhile and get back to you on it.
5. I will get back to my normal social self. Okay so I am not the most social person, but I will walk outside of my house with a smile on and pretend that I am.
6. I have a lot more things to work on, but this is what I will start with. I am sure Renan has a few ideas for me, but those are just "ideas".

you're doing GREAT amy...and i still think you should go with "my dad's dead" (just for shock value...never underestimate GOOD shock value) xoxoxo
but could you please work on the YW's lessons?? the spiritual progression of my 12 yr old now rests in your hands (LOL!) --you KNOW i'm kidding, right? *you are BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
We love your creepy basement!
And Amy--you are a social butterfly. I am bringing out the lawn furniture and we can all be totally social together.
Get ready for big time parties all year long...so have that as one of your goals: dancing and parties all night, every night!
In Reference to #2, Izabella said--
"Ya, it's creepy down there!"
hee hee
But the upstairs family room is simply divine!
Maybe you'll stop saying "dads Dead" infront of mom when she stops talking about that dream with dad and his blonde dreadlocks!!! DISTURBING ...HA!

I think you're already pretty great. I sure hope 2009 is a great year for you...you definately deserve it :)
A new Amy? I kinda liked the old one...
To me, you have always been the same, wonderful, layered, supportive, cynical, skinny friend I have grown to love. Seriously!
