Three fairly random unrelated things

1. Nutty's new words are some of my favorites. They include:

• Ho Ho Ho (okay, I trained her to say this one)
• Whoa (often said when falling or jumping or for some reason, in the car)
• Hot (particularly makes me proud because she said it today when I was near the oven and she was not). "Hot" is often followed by her attempts at blowing, which seems to actually be sucking in air, but a valiant effort none-the-less.
• "Mow" (Heidi for "Meow")
• Whee (said as she throws various baby dolls, figurines, blocks, etc. down the slide)
• One, two, three (okay, I'll be honest, I usually say them and she usually makes grunting noises. Today it really did sound like she said "two" after I said "one." Verdict is still out.

2. New Year's Eve recap: The most fun I've had in a long time. Super abdominal workout from literally rolling-on-the-floor laughing. Brandy slush. Words that may or may not have come up during game play: gonads, treadmill, slong, mine is hard, mine is long, mine is greasy? And Luigi is mean.

3. New year, new resolution. Or really a repeat of last year's resolution. Last year I resolved to live more consciously. I'm resolving that again this year. Living more consciously means thinking more about my parenting (and occasionally putting this laptop down so I can actually play with my amazing, growing-way-too-fast daughter), my spending (and I actually thought of this at the beginning of the month, so I'm starting the cash-only plan for fun money and groceries), and generally living a healthier lifestyle (including meal-planning--which also helps with spending, exercising--ask me about my walk to Milwaukee, and *sigh* I will try to cut down on the Mountain Dew at least).

Happy 2010 everyone.

Oh yeah, I'm also attempting to do a Photo-a-day on Flickr. Here's the link. I'm new to Flickr, so it'll be a learning process, I'm sure.
