ringing in the new year

Went out for chinese food with C and K on new years day. for the record: this year's resolution is to make Sundays feel special, like a holiday. By at least going to church. Baby steps. Because my ward in NYC didn't start until 1pm, I was squeezing a full grocery shopping, 7 loads of laundry, and then I'd miss church because i was exhausted.  This year, my ward rotated the 9am time slot (one building holds 3 wards i think) I hope the time change will get me off to the right foot. And then from there, I'll take a break from the major chores and focus on my family and other simple pleasures.  It will take some planning.
