I gave up watching New Year fireworks for the thrill of actually
keeping a not-quite-New-Year goal of waking up before 7:30 for 7 days
straight, and I did it! =) Sure, it’s a minor thing to all of you
people who actually do get up with the sun (although this is easier in
the Canadian winter, because the sun hardly ever wakes up). It’s still
a nice little accomplishment for me. Check one off my list of goals
for 2007!
