Six days into the new year, I have just completed my list of resolutions which have nothing to do with the above picture. Number One: stop procrastinating the making of this year's resolutions. Done and done. Wow, I already feel a satisfied sense of accomplishment. Number Two: Stop using sarcasm to mask my childlike vulnerabilities. Check. Question: Why would Disney make a children's movie about a beloved family dog who acquires rabies while protecting said family and then has to be shot and die? Uncool Disney, uncool. Number Three: Childlike vulnerabilities too painful, revert back to sarcasm. Number Four: Eat more fiber. Number Five: Be more proactive, less deactive. Number Six: Have a baby. Number Seven: Lose pregnancy weight so people will stop confusing me with Drew Carey. No I don't know who's line it is. Number eight: Try Sushi. Number nine: Find ways to keep from freaking out. SERENITY NOW! Number ten: Be in bed by eleven. Except on book club night. Or if we have friends over. Or if its Friday night. Or Saturday night. Or if we're having a 24 marathon. Otherwise its nighty-NIGHT! Numbers eleven through fifteen: Read scriptures daily, have more meaningful prayers, enjoy the every day of being a mom, avoid pessimism, and read at least one book a month.And there you have it. One step at a time towards total domination.

Omigosh, you DO look so much like Drew Carey. Maybe Drew and Dwight Schrute's love-child.
Di, if you ditch your sarcasm and childlike vulnerabilities, you can say bye-bye to your humor.
Some of the best humor is born of deep pain. I consider it a constructive defense mechanism.
BTW, completely unrelated, but you can't have "Paige". That name is on our short list, if we ever have a girl.
... No, Shana is NOT prego, nor is that our intention at this time.
Do you have a sense with words! It is a gift my friend.
Drew Carey? Di, you look as much like Drew Carey as I look like Merril Streep. And yes, Sushi is a must. Though I don't know if I would recommend your first experience taking place in a state as landlocked as Utah!
Thanks Shana, you are very kind.
The funny thing is, that picture of Drew Carey DOES look very similar to my piano teacher, Verna. Am I right Angie?
Love your resolutions, Di-Di. I haven't made mine yet but I need to. You have inspired me.
And, BTW, I have never and will never give birth to anything that looks anything like Drew Carey!! Not that his mother is sorry. She's probably very proud.
Mom, I was told I looked like Drew Carey by a middle school kid when I was subbing at 200 lbs.
It was probably what inspired me to get back into shape and drop the 40 pounds I had gained since Dad's death.
So, I say "thank you" to that rude little punk who told it like it was.
There might be something to it.
