I have resolved,
to take everything easy, speak my head and not heart whenever required, make phone calls to my friends often enough to induce earnest irritation on the receiving end, keep the house as if we are having guests the next moment, get less embarrassed thinking about the possibility of getting embarrassed, and eat more soup than anything else in this brand New Year about to begin tomorrow.
We wish you all an exciting year ahead; live your life with zest, happy 2011 everyone !

keeping a house clean and nice isn't easy, and I think since you live in the states the houses are even bigger! For me I can just barely finish vacumming/mopping the floor but that's already in the evening. so I am happy to be your guest :):)
