Top 10: New Year's Resolutions
10. Less profanity. I love a good challenge and as such I plan to eliminate four letter words in favor of high brow vocabulary. A few of my faves for 2010: magniloquent, sinecure, and corpuscular.
9. Healthier diet. BreakNbakes don't have too many calories.
8. Graduate from medium to hard on Guitar Hero (watch out, Karl).
7. Make my bed every day.
6. Wear everything in my closet. At least once.
5. Blog less sporadically.
4. Watch less TV. This one's easy: watch everything on DVR, watch less commercials and thus less TV.
3. Create a wearable garment.
2. Introduce more people to the euphoric yet frugal indulgence that is drinking sparkling, pamplemousse flavored water by La Croix.
1. Keep the glass well above the half full line.

Top 10: Cable Inundation
As it's been previously mentioned, Ms. Lagerfeld does not indulge the monopolistic and greedy providers of cable television. However, I am currently in the lover's state (VA) and since I am lodging with the rents and unemployed I have had ample time to sample the sweets of the unfree tv. My top 10 favorites are below.
10. Ancient episodes of Party of Five on channel 4.
9. Old, but not ancient, eps of Jon & Kate Plus 8, sigh.
8. Toddlers in Tiaras: uncomfortably disturbing but gripping.
7. This one's embarrassing: The T.O. Show on VH1.
6. Made: Dream Date on MTV.
5. All but the last 6 minutes of A Baby Story (seriously, who wants to watch the birth??).
4. What Not to Wear; I <3 Clinton!
3. Ellen. That woman is HAPPY.
2. The Soup on E!.
1. ESPN2: US OPEN coverage!!
