New Year's Resolutions

Rather than grimly commit to self-improvement, a friend and I had a glass of wine on Saturday night and considered the things we actually want to do in the New Year. The list so far:

• Write a book
• Reconnect with at least five people I haven't seen in years
• Concede that my rock-climbing days are over
• More house parties, fewer mediocre restaurants
• Wear nothing that doesn't make me feel wonderful--even if I have to wear the same damn outfit every day
• Visit at least one country I've never been to before
• Take singing lessons

With Lent coming up fast, I'm also toying with the idea of going vegan this year. What are y'all planning for 2008?
