merry Christmas and a happy new year

Claire's resolutions for 2014:

Become a merbaby. While I enjoy swimming and my hair looks awesome as it floats around my head, I can't help feeling that if I could only somehow grow fins and find some water that's deeper than 2 inches, I would be even more amazing. Plus, then I could ride a seahorse.

Take up boxing. I'm pretty sure I could beat up everyone in this photo if I had a robe like Rocky's. 

Steal Santa's sleigh. He has a million magical elves, they can rig something up for him. Meanwhile, I would like to travel in style. Plus my giraffe has expressed an interest in learning how to fly, and I'm sure the reindeer could teach him.

Perfect the art of the photobomb. Oh wait---already did. 

Figure out how to control my limbs. My minions ripped the paper off of this box and it looked like they enjoyed it. If I can discover the secret behind getting my arms and  hands to work for me instead of against me, I will no doubt be able to keep my plug from running away all the time, and, eventually, I will destroy the world.

Become a baby model for the Ravens. That's right, I look so good it's probably illegal for me not to be getting paid.

Take more naps. I already take at least three a day, but I find that they are one of my favorite activities, so I think I'll indulge myself.

Cry whenever I don't get my way. Granted, I already do this, and it's not really a resolution, more of a fact of life, but I just didn't want the minions to get their hopes up that anything would be changing in the near future. It won't. 

I am the supreme ruler.

And if you disagree with me, I will cry all over you (as soon as I get my tear ducts functioning on a regular basis).
