Resolve
I know a lot of people don’t really put stock into resolutions. My husband doesn’t. Some people feel as though making resolutions is useless, because you just fail anyway. But I like resolutions. I love having a list of things I want to do better, and then checking off that list as I conquer those things. This year, I thought I’d make 15 resolutions — some easy, some not as easy — because… I’m an organized person and I like things to come in fives or tens. And with it being 2015, well. You get it.

Filmmaking and Ladybirds
I’m going to start this post off with something different than normal, because I’m too excited about it to put this at the end: So this is the film we made for this year’s 72 hour Gig Harbor Film Festival Competition (here’s last year’s. I’m acting. Ugh. Don’t judge me by it.), and this year I felt like we put a lot more into it than we did last year. I did, anyway: we actually went out to buy costumes and props this year; we spent a good deal more time on the makeup and all (that’s my werewolf brother, being a trooper and wearing fake nails for me), and…
