How did it come to this? It’s New Year’s Day, and I woke up at 7:30. A.M. It wasn’t even light out when I gave up on trying to go back to sleep. On the bright side, any January that doesn’t begin with a hangover has started off on the right foot, even if that foot is very tired right now.
The wonderful thing about a new year is the eternal delusion that it entails a fresh start, a chance to make resolutions with the hope of actually keeping them, despite ample evidence to the contrary. Last year, I made a resolution to just go with the flow and see where life took me, and I ended up having a year that felt sort of aimless and unsettled. While I’m not exactly looking to take one of those freaky FranklinCovey life-planning courses, I could probably do with a little more direction as I settle firmly into my 30s. So here are some personal to-dos for the year 2007, sorted from most to least concrete (that is, from most to least likely to be kept):

heh.
Also, have you tried the double-knot? Very grade school, yet surprisingly effective.
(you might want to try different shoelaces - the shape and material can contribute greatly to your shoes' either staying tied or not...)
Also, Happy New Year's! :-)
I second marisa's paranthetical. I have a similar pair of cons and while I think they look cool, the laces they come with are particularly keen on undoing themselves.
