We were away for a few days to welcome the new year with mom II (hubby’s mom). It was a great night full of resolutions! Mine were as follows -not in a particular order:

1)    I will try to save more time for my blog.
2)    I will prepare a list before grocery shopping.
3)    I will try not to eat until I take a few photos of the food when I visit a new place.
4)    I will try to be a better driver. I started driving in 2011 and I absolutely need to improve it.
5)    I will start swimming in the pool once or twice a week.
6)    I will try not to bring work to home, I will try to finish it at school.
7)    I will not postpone emptying the dishwasher!
8)    I will not stay in front of computer screen for a long time, I must have breaks more often.
9)    I will go to the ticket office at the beginning of each month so that I can find tickets for the plays.

Quite a lot, right? Hope I can achieve all these!

The picture above was taken on our way back. Although it is normally very cold and snowy in winter here, we haven’t experienced such kind of a weather yet. That’s why it was exciting for us to see this snowy landscape. Perfect for the start of the new year!

driving New Year ResolutionsIt was my first experience of a long distance driving, so this was another exciting part of my journey. Thanks a million to hubby as he is the best driving teacher for me! I got my driving licence years ago, but I wasn’t an active driver. He started to teach me how to drive in June and I believe I’ve made a great progress since then! My husband and I drove in turn; I was the driver for the first 2 hours and the last 1 hour of our journey, which lasted 7 hours of driving in total.

Her love of cooking started as a little child by messing her mom's dishes up! Despite all her mom's effort to teach her how to cook, she was happy as an 'assistant'. What made her want to jump to an upper level was her dad's compliments for the first dish she made herself. Finally, her husband, who claims that ancient humans were stronger than we are today as their main food source was meat, helped her love cooking meat dishes and improving vegetable dishes to make them more edible for him!

    Happy New Year! I love the snowy picture. I also need to become a better driver but my husband always drives on long journeys – I don’t think he trusts me!

    Good for you! My sister didn’t learn to drive until she was in her 40s, and she still won’t do left turns or drive on the highway. That’s a great accomplishment.
