my fall manifesto

I loved Katie’s Fall Manifesto and decided to come up with my own list of resolutions for Autumn:

* cook dinner following a new recipe once a week (i.e. learn to cook!)

* call my grandparents every Sunday

* call my out-of-state friends more often (i’m terrible, i know!)

* use/wear new purchases immediately rather than saving them for “special occasions”

* read more books (hello, library!)

* get rid of clutter

* limit the amount of time I spend on the internet every day (impossible!)

* work on stress management (how?)

* exercise more than once a week

* find a new hobby (what?)

* go to bed before midnight and wake up before 9 AM on weekdays

What are your seasonal resolutions?  I’d love to hear them!  Please comment below.

Gwyneth Paltrow has created a new lifestyle site called GOOP. Although there is no real content up yet, she explains that GOOP will be a “collection of experiences.”  I like that expression.  It’s what I’ve realized Somewhere in Middle America has always been–a collection of my experiences.  I’ve written about being engaged, getting married, moving, finding new jobs, quitting those jobs and the people, places and things that have inspired me.  I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about all of these things. I’m interested in konwing what specifically you’ve liked the most about my little blog. I have some big plans for it in the near future and am always interested in your input.

I’m looking forward to GOOP’s official launch. I’m curious about Gwyneth’s life and the things she finds interesting, but as for the recipes she plans on sharing… Isn’t she on a macrobiotic diet?  Yuck.

And what do you think GOOP means? Perhaps it stands for “Gwyneth something-something Paltrow,” but my guess is that it’s just a made up word.

american apparel in omaha

Did this happen while I was away on my honeymoon?

If not, I must be spending too much time in West O to miss the opening of American Apparel downtown.

Before it turns midnight and the day ends… happy half-birthday to me!
