Happy New Year!

So, it's January. The month that deludes us into thinking we will suddenly be capable of doing the things we failed to do a hundred times before, and causing us to be disappointed in ourselves when we realise we are still screwups. Yeah, not a fan. :)
I don't believe in making New Years Resolutions for this reason, but I do believe in having goals. Some of mine at the moment are;
To spend more time one on one with Missy and Valentine (the birds.) I obviously love them, but it is harder to give them as much attention as they deserve since we got the dog.
To be more consistent with Frankie and his training- this is my biggest downfall. He gets away with doing things he's not allowed to do, because he does them when I'm already doing 30 things at once, holding 25 objects and running 15 minutes late for work. So I don't bother to follow through correcting him.
To become a better driver (yeah, wish me luck with that!)
To cook more. I mean meals, not the cakes I make a few times a year.
All of these things involve time I do not have, so we shall see how that goes!
We spent New Years Eve at home with some family friends and I somehow fell asleep at 10.30, before waking up at 11.57pm, just in time to watch the Sydney fireworks on TV. We were talking about how we should really make the effort to go in to the city and see it live one year. People travel from interstate and other countries to see it, so we don't take advantage of living here! Frankie freaked out every time he heard fireworks so we didn't get much sleep after that. His resolution (well, mine for him) is to stay out of the kitchen when people are cooking, and have his teeth brushed every single day! I love my doggy.
I asked my family what their New Years Resolutions are. Mum said hers is to "give money to buskers because I'd be really embarrased if I had to sing in public." (What??? Lol.) Dad's is "to survive." That's a good one.
