I did not make any lofty New Year's resolutions, but I did establish a few minor goals. One goal is to take better care of the apartment. To rate myself, I've developed a spreadsheet with points alloted to household tasks. After one week into the experiment, I've looked at the numbers - I suck at housekeeping! This should be an interesting exercise.

The other major goal is to eat at home more frequently. To that end, I will be posting the meals I made at home or took to work on my journal. Lucky you! But I figure that this might give me the motivation to cook more. I love to cook, but I love to eat out, too. Let's see what wins.

Because I was too drowsy to post last night after staying up to watch the extended Two Towers, here's what was on the menu yesterday:

• breakfast - cereal
• lunch - grilled turkey, tomato, and havarti sandwich
• dinner - wonton soup, spicy shrimp and asparagus with rice

Of course, we went out to breakfast this morning, but it was a very yummy and pleasant outing at the cafe by the fake lake. Oh well, we'll see how long the experiment lasts.
