Since our theme for 2011 was "Self-Improvement," I thought I'd give you a list of things I've learned and/or improved upon.
I give you...Amazing Improvements and Lessons of 2011; Tina-Style
1. Giving birth 4 times has not improved my abdominal muscles, nor my ability to develop them.
2. It's not difficult to make changes to your life if you do a small one every few days, as opposed to trying to make a bunch of changes all at once. It is, however, hard to remember the entire list after 5 days or so.
3. I can, in fact, drink 100 oz of water in a single day and not die.
4. You pee A LOT when you drink 100 oz of water in a single day.
5. Zumba is for someone far more coordinated than me, but I do like the Zumba shoes for my trampoline. Also, you can work up a good sweat just dancing around your living room like a spastic while the Zumba DVD plays. Same basic premise.
6. Crocheting sucks. If you do it and enjoy it, bully for you. But I think it does.
7. My buddy Kludge makes really nice pens.
8. Trying to write a 50k word novel in a month is impossible. Seriously. Anyone who says that they actually DID it is a big fat liar.
9. Going Vegan over a period of 30 days is not as difficult as you might think, and it completely changed my metabolism and how I view food. And dropping 30 pounds was nice, too.
10. I've met 5 really nice guys, and about a dozen not so nice guys, via online dating. If you are single, you have to try it. It should be a rule or something, like you can't renew your driver's license or get your car tabs unless you can prove that you've tried online dating.
11. If you talk smack to a NY Times best-selling author, she will write something really clever in your copy of her book when she signs it for you.

12. I am twice the person I thought I was on January 1st.
And there you have it. It is my sincerest hope that you enjoyed this 11-month foray into my psyche. Don't forget to follow Kat's on Fire -I promise you won't regret it.
See you around the block.
