 1.This week on Totes Awesome Channel, we talk about our hopes for 2012. Youtube Link I’ve pretty much summed up what I hope for 2012 in this post and my resolutions post. Travel, read, find a calling (no big deal), and have some good times with my loved ones. 2.My most recent loot from the library:  3.I talk to BFF every weekday for hours and sometimes on the weekend. Sometimes, it hits me that she’s my best friend and we can’t grab a casual lunch or dinner or sit on a couch together because she lives in Boston. Then I realize a lot of my closest friends are long distance and though, I’m usually a positive person and am just thankful for technology and yearly visits, sometimes I would just like to be spontaneous with my closest friends and call to ask, “Yo. Can I come over?” 4.This week has been not so good for sleep. I’ve averaged about 4 hours this week and I’ve already acclimated myself to almost 6 hours. Thank goodness for Vietnamese coffee! I’ve been drinking Vietnamese coffee all week and that stuff is so dang strong it has me wired all the way past my bedtime. (Rinse, repeat.) Today, I skipped out on the coffee since I’ve been wired all week and actually had 6 hours of sleep. The consequences of my lack of coffee are pitiful. I’ve been in a mental haze all day. Thank goodness, it’s Friday! 5. Bob had a great first week of the year. Extra long walks at the park, lots of fetch, new toys, first cup of doggy ice cream. Really! They make doggy ice cream. We found some at our grocery store, Central Market. I also taught him a new command in less than 10 minutes. He now knows the “lay down” command! I think in a few weeks, I’ll tackle rolling over. 6.Weekend To Do List 1. Meal plan and grocery shop 2. Go out for a friend’s birthday celebration 3. Walk with dog and my little from Big Brothers and Big Sisters 4. Start on 10 separate pages in my Sketchbook Project 5. Thank you notes 6.
