Quality Time

May I suggest a few ways to spend the last few days of being 32? The last few days of the Year of the Rabbit? The first few days of an uneventful 2012?

First- watch plenty of DVDs. Gravitate toward the 'You'll find love in your 30's. Really. Don't give up!' Genre. May I suggest the following:

• Beginners (LOVE this new favorite)
• Bridget Jones' Diary
• 500 Days of Summer (yeah, they were probably in their 20s... but its still a cute & quirky pic)
• Leap Year (give me a beautiful Irish man any day)

Second- Devour every last Christmas Cookie in the house. Then move onto the chocolates. You don't even like chocolate. But you must have something sweet to chew on while glazing over on the chic flick films.

Third- Nap. Often. Don't feel guilty.

Fourth- Drink Tea. With leftover Eggnog. Who cares if it's past the pull date. It's not chunky or smelly yet. Drink up.

Fifth- Decide you don't have enough crazy chickens in the yard and sign up for a few more in a March hatch. Actually, this is probably a bad idea. But it happened.

Sixth-  Get comfortable with the idea of 2012 being the Year of the Water Dragon. I've been told that this is the year to get things done. That the Water Dragon year moves swiftly like a river- jump in and start swimming, and don't get washed away. Caution to not spread yourself too thin. Encouragement to take control.  This will be the year of the Urban Homestead and Bakery. Lolo Gardens will be launched. A logo will be finalized, recipies will be developed and clients will be found. But I still have a week of lazing and eating and napping before I have to start getting serious.

Excuse me, but I have a movie to watch and some chocolate to eat.

A hui hou,

Shay
