Jiminy Cricket! Day four of my FANY (Fun Ambitions for New Year) resolution and I’m in loser-ville! Sheesh. I REALLY thought this thing was going to be a slam dunk. Much easier than losing the 20 pounds I think I should lose (which is more like 40 pounds if you put stock in the words of one of my conservative critics, read here if you want to know what I mean).
So, yesterday, I spent most of the day researching for a column I’m working on — and then suddenly around 6 pm realized “Hell, I haven’t had ANY fun today!” Which isn’t entirely true, because seriously I get a kick out of watching the birds in the backyard. 
But I’m looking for a whole new level of fun for 2010 and bird-watching, as lovely as it is, is not feeling the fun factor for this resolution I’ve made.
So, I wrapped up my research efforts and did a few end-of-day things, then … okay, this may not sound like a TON of fun, but it was at least a respite and a mind-relaxer and something I don’t often do.
My fun for yesterday was to buy six magazines that have to do with house design and decor and then plop down on the couch and go through them one by one, ripping out things I like, and fantasizing about the house I’m dreaming of building. Oh, and I had a Hershey’s bar (with almonds — whoo hoo!) and a glass of red wine while performing said fantasizing.
Yes, I know. I am living large indeed.
