New year's intentions

My niece Sarah did such a cute job with her new year's goals (as seen on her ultra-awesome-yet-private blog), I jokingly asked her to set some for me (since I couldn't be bothered). Being the sweetheart that she is, she obliged. Thanks, Sarah! I especially like the reminders not to kill, and to zipper my coat (though that is becoming difficult). :-)

As a side note, Sarah and I recently spent a lot of time together during which I kept losing track of my purse / shopping bags / other children / etc. Lucky for me, she was right there to pick up my slack (read: shopping bags etc.).

a- adore your child
b- believe in yourself even when u have those hard days
c- care
d-dream
e- esuchar ( spanish for "to listen") listen to your husband and soon to be family
f- family, stay close with those of love you to death
g- give/ give birth
h- help, hug
i- i love you ( dont forget it)
j- joke around, it's ok to have fun
k- kindess, don't kill
l- live life , love laura (yourself), laugh
m- marry (or stay married), make memories
n- nice, noodles for dinner
o- open up sometimes, don't make yourself struggle, people want to help
p- patience, pray when you need help, play with family
q- quiet, don't wake that baby
r- remember good memories, and shopping bags , and other items when you are at other places
s- sing
t- teach your child
u- understand ( well you're pretty good at this already)
v- viola, try to learn (...maybe not)
w- wish
x- ?
y- you are amazing don't forget it
z- zipper your coat
