• hannah - when i was a little little kid. in the spanish language, "J" is pronounced with a "H" sound (like "heeeey"), and neither of my grandparents could say my full name ("jennifer"); they would say "hennifer." to make it easier, my mom called me "hannah" and to this day, i feel i have a dual life because of the name difference.

i don't believe in resolutions, but promises have more weight with me. i think it's about the attempt more than the accomplishment, and if both are successful, then it's all the more celebrating. things i am going to attempt to do:

• exercise more - i don't care what my size is, i just want to feel healthy
• no junk food, sugar, or caffeine - minor cheating allowed
• buying only used goods or clearance/sal...
