Legos!

Lego has an architecture collection!  It's pretty interesting and there are pamphlets for each building with information about the architect and the building and it's impact on the world.  They even have the Sydney Opera House!
This collection has been around as an educational promotion since the 1960s.

New Year 2013


This is also how happy I plan to look every time I'm flossing...
As the new year rang in, everyone started wondering what resolutions to settle on. I have always struggled with that, breaking my lifelong habit of picking my nails (S has this problem as well) or eating healthier, or setting up an actual workout plan (not that I am not fairly healthy and not active, but just getting organized with it) are my normal ones. This year, like any other year, I still have not fully decided what my resolutions are. I think they need to be measurable, and I need to have some way to account for them. One of my recurring resolutions that I am sticking in there again this year is to floss at least 4 times a week. I downloaded an app called habit streak, so I'll be able to see if I actually flossed 4 times a week, and hopefully that helps, but more importantly I need to get on my willpower train and start believing in myself. There are many articles about fulfilling New Years resolutions out there, but I do agree with this one about how willpower is really your most valuable resource, but it isn't depleted unless you THINK it's depleted.

Basically, I'm just letting everyone know they should believe in themselves (and not make COMPLETELY unachievable goals) and they should be able to keep their resolutions strong!

Now.. just to decide what my resolutions should be, suggestions anyone?
