not an original post idea, i know, but still an important one worth sharing.  so, here's my 2009 to-do list (a work in progress):

• figure out how to be more of a social entrepreneur and use my business skills to do good things in the world.
• be a better wife.  by that, i mean doing my share of dishes.  just kidding.  mostly.
• eat fewer of these -- seriously, how many of my posts in the last year have mentioned cupcakes?  way too many.  we generally eat healthfully, but butter cream is my mortal enemy.

• make amazing imagery for the awesomest couples in the 'lou on their big days.
• volunteer again.  volunteering has been a huge part of my life to date, but it's been too long.
• shoot a wedding in mexico.  san miguel de allende, anyone?
• shoot at least one same-sex wedding.  adam and i wholeheartedly believe in equal marriage rights and are sad that our state and all of the surrounding ones prohibit gay marriage.
• lunch/coffee with at least four other industry pros.
• mosaic our back porch.
• plan out a garden.
• make jewelry again.
• go to yoga on a regular basis.
• hand-make all of our christmas gifts in 2009.
• make more of an effort to cook from scratch.
• network with other businesses in the city.
• get involved with the benton park neighborhood association.
