I know, its late to be starting a new year's resolution isn't it? I mean March isn't exactly the new year. But here I am on March the 1st writing this. I've decided that I'm bored, sad, ugly and down right unhappy, but I know that it's never too late to change.

I've written a list of things I want to accomplish by the end of this year but before I share with you my list (which I know you're dying to find out what it is) I should do a self introduction.

My name is irrelevant so we shall call me Ingrid. Aren't pseudonyms just wonderful?
