2009 Resolutions




I’m going to try to remain realistic this year. As I look back over last year’s resolutions, I know I tried… So here we go again.

Manage money more wisely… (see last year’s resolution). Again, I have not figured out how to do this. Maybe this year will be a charm! And since last year, they’ve raised my overdraft charges from $25 to $37, that's the best reason to stick to this one!

Lose weight. Last year I said I wasn’t focusing on this, so I gave myself a year off. Now I have to get serious and lose the last of my post-surgical weight so I can finally get to my goal! I’d say “exercise more” should be a resolution, but I HATE to do that, so I don’t think I should put myself through the disappointment when I don’t stick to this one! Although we did buy that treadmill that we talked about last year, Alex likes to use it as a stage for her Barbies. That’s the most action that thing gets!

Get organized! Organize my closets, drawers, cupboards, shelves… It all needs it! Other people have figured out how to do this, why can’t I?

Be nice. I am not a horrible person, but I can be a little catty and judgmental sometimes. And if I can hold back the first time that stupid girl at Burger King screws up my order….

There are a couple that I’ve taken right off the list, because, let’s face it, some things will never change. Last year I vowed to volunteer wisely. Since then, I’ve gotten a job at the school and well, now I just spend ALL my extra hours there.
