the first one.

Happy New Year!

It's 2011.  Hard to believe, but here I sit on the cusp of diving into my 30's this year.  About this time every year I have the same thoughts: this year I'm really going to change.  or..This year I'm going to work on blah bitty blah.  I'm starting this blog to help me stay on track with my resolutions.  My husband is pretty positive it won't last more than a month.  I intend to prove him wrong, very wrong. 

So far I'm doing quite well with my first New Year's resolution (procrastinate less: hence, starting the blog on the FIRST!). 
I'm pretty sure my year resolutions will turn to monthly resolutions.  That seems much more reasonable for me!  So far I have (in no particular order)...
  1.  procrastinate less
  2. lose 'monitor' weight (isn't this on most lists?)
  3. eat more fruits and veggies
  4. cook 2 (or more!) meals a week
  5. show my appreciation towards others more
  6. read more books
  7. paint the bedroom wall
  8. have 2 (or more!) official dates a month  (offical meaning we unload critter on someone and go out somewhere for more than 2 hours)
  9. apply for master's
  10. be more proactive with keeping in touch with friends
  11. become more comfortable with The Grays
  12. try to be more of a list maker (i tend to not make lists...and forget stuff -oops.)
  13. run 3 5ks (this is a huge deal...to be discussed later)
  14. learn how to small talk
  15. create a family craft for each holiday
  16. go on a family weekend get away for no reason at all other than to make great memories
  17. say a positive comment before something negative sneaks out of my mouth
pretty sure there's more..but, I'll work on that later. :)

side note: for some reason I do NOT like even numbered lists - so if something random should pop into a later post...that's why.

  1. I am so excited about your blog! You are pretty ambitious to have so many resolutions but I think it's great you are off to a good start by following through with the blog. Can't wait to see how it goes :).- Aubrey

  2. Loving this. I think they are all great except for the craft thing. That would make my year sooooo much harder.
