New Year's Resolutions!

While I have never been a huge New Year's Resolution person, I do think it's good to have goals. I find you accomplish a lot more if you just put it down on paper. Here are a few of mine for 2009.



1. Read at least 2 books a month. I love to read, but this is often the first thing that goes when I get busy.



2. Lose weight. My goal is to lose 22.5 pounds (don't ask about how I came up with that number, it's very complicated ;). I have sorta cheated on this one though and started the end of November, so as of this morning, I have already lost 10 pounds, so 12.5 pounds to go!



3. Get Peanut in shape. Our poor little doggy is overweight. She loves food and we indulge her way to often. This goal will likely not start being worked on till it's warmer, but in the meantime we are starting her on some diet food that the vet recommended.



4. Be More Frugal. I have accomplished this goal in some areas, but have some work to go in others. I still have a bit of a gymboree habit for Keira, that is one thing I'll work on.



5. Take more pictures and print more pictures. I have done a pretty good job taking pictures, but printing them is another story. Oh, and work on getting them in albums too!

6. Worry less, have more fun! I have a very type A personality. Everything organized, everything in it's place. Everything has a plan and a contingency plan if the first one doesn't work out. Five year plans and 10 year plans exist (at least in my head) Blah blah blah. Try to let it all go and live in the moment. (This is probably the hardest one on the list!)

That is about it. I am sure I'll come up with some as the year goes by. I'll try to keep you updated on the status.

You'll have to keep me posted on #6--I'm right there with 'ya. I've recently come to the conclusion that I don't know how to enjoy the daily things!
