went to the store for apples and bread.

came back with:

- 4 oranges
- 5 tangerines
- 1 6-oz. container of "priced for quick sale" raspberries
- 2 containers of pre-cut carrot sticks
- 1 loaf of bread
- 1 8-oz. jar of sundried tomatoes

New Year's Resolution:

Be bold.
Live on deadline, stop wasting time.
Show no fear. (though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,)
Work hard.
Love harder.
Wear really good shoes.
Reach fighting weight, then fight.
Focus.
