Do you have "New Year's Resolutions"?

There's always room from improvement, right? Well...for this new year of 2006, I would like to manage my time better, read more, pray more, eat (and cook!) healthy meals for Ishan and for myself, enjoy to the fullest all of my time with Fabi, exercise, loose the remaining of my post-pregnancy weight...I'm almost there...see?

So...as we say good bye to the year 2005, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy New Year!!!...I hope 2006 brings you many satisfactions and nice surprises!
