Et cetera

Still stuck on your New Year's resolutions? Not to worry. We've got them all sewn up. This year you should resolve to....

1. Eat more.

Specifically, eat more pizza at Magpies. Yes, we know, it's not news that they sell arguably the best pie in town. But this year the chain will undergo an overhaul by Jason Anderson, the man behind the buzzworthy new Asian place Umi Star. And if we know Jason and his envelope-pushing work, it will be worth a visit.

Tea, that is. Pay a visit to Amelia Grey's Cafe at its new location, 3073 N. Campbell, for a high tea on vintage dishes, or to catch a game of football. Yes, that's right: football. Because this is not some girly fancy-china place. They also sell sandwiches (including a Game-Day special), broadcast a game, and are an approved U of A caterer. Amelia Grey's tailgating party, anyone?

3. Have a ball.

A Paper Ball. The Drawing Studio's annual gala and fundraiser on January 25 will celebrate artists and the character of paper, with 200 paper artworks on display, a silent auction of Tucson artist' work, plus food, drink and music. Plus, check out the talks in the run-up to the event, from the likes of Tucson Weekly art critic Margaret Regan, and artist Nick Georgiou, who appeared in 3 Story's very first issue.  Info, tickets and sponsorship details are available online at www.thedrawingstudio.org or call 520-620-0947.

4. Work out.

But do it in a way that won't mean you give it up after 30 days. With classes in yoga, zumba, jazz, adult dance cardio and more, plus a brand new space at 828 N. Stone, we're pegging Breakout Studios as a fitness place to watch this year. It's for children and adults of all levels. We dare you to be bored. Call (520) 670- 1301 for classes.

5. Be thankful...

...that we have not taken a tumble off the fiscal cliff. And be finance-savvy, especially when it comes to property. Tucson's prices are rising, and interest rates are low. Time, say property experts, to stop sitting on our hands and turn 2013 into a year of buying and selling opportunity. For all the latest property news from Tucson's Brent VanKoevering, click here.for sale
