the weather was lovely, light and bright

I read an article today in the NY Times about how it was best not to soul search while hungover on New Year's day. Somehow regret makes you less complex psychologically and stunts your growth. Also, that of course we regret the things we didn't do more than the things we did. So I haven't done much searching or regretting today. I wrote a little, a story based on something in a dream. I played some videogames, and ate lunch late in the day at Threadgills. Gene showed me pictures on his laptop of his totally ridiculous Halloween costume. He was a box of wine, complete with about ten gallons of wine. It was pretty awesome, I have to admit. I petted my kitty and read cookbooks in search of vegetable dishes. I watched episodes of A&E's Intervention and took a long shower. I ate some chocolate. Overall, it was a good day.

For this coming year, I'd like to balance my diet a bit. Drink less soda, eat more vegetables, take some vitamins perhaps. I'd like to learn to cook new things, use all the lovely cookbooks I've acquired in the past year. I want to practice the Secret Family Cake Recipe. I want to be more efficent with my grocery shopping, and remember to take my reusable bags to the store with me. I'd like to limit my impulsive purchases.

This may come out wrong, but I'm going to ask anyway (based on something you posted in my journal a few months ago). I'm assuming your goals (and your husband's -- how cool is that?!) will never include reproducing? Put more simply, both of you are childfree, yes?

I'm not meaning to sound critical, just clarifying. The husband and I are childfree.

Children are not in our plans. Being pregnant is probably not medically advisable for me for a number of reasons. (If I were to have a child, I would adopt probably.) Also, there are many things we both want to do that are just not compatible with being parents. I've never really felt a maternal calling.

I am not ready to be an uncle.
