Gifts that were given years ago and never used, things we meant to sell on Craigslist but never did, VHS tapes, Sega Genesis, a pile of Dwell magazines I always meant to read = Brown Elephant. Now these things will have the potential to make some money for the Howard Brown Health Center! Dog collar, old leash, toys Tilda didn&#8217;t like = PAWS. I signed up for <a href=\"https:\/\/unroll.me\">Unroll.Me<\/a> and I am already a HUGE fan of the time saved by just that! I am trying to make my life less cluttered physically and digitally and even just in the first week, I have felt much more happy at home.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2013 Resolutions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Update the La De Blog once a week.<\/li>\n<li>Watch one documentary and one foreign film a week.<\/li>\n<li><del>Make something great once a week.

The ones with lines through them were ones I was not able to commit fully to. This year, I will still likely watch a documentary a week, but this year I want to concentrate more on reading. Cinema and television shows have taken over much of my free time the last couple years.<\/p>\n<p>Having Vegan Vednesday strictly on Wednesdays was easy except for a handful of times:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>when my office would order lunch and nothing vegan for me and then I was angsty and hungry<\/li>\n<li>when Kirstie &amp; Jason brought home fresh buttery croissants and cheese from Paris and had a party on a Wednesday<\/li>\n<li>when Christmas fell on Wednesday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having some flex to my resolutions will help me keep them.
