Resolution Time!

Everyone starts talking about resolutions - it's the NEW YEAR; we must set goals!!  I can't help but think about those things I've been wanting/needing to do.  The beginning of the year does seem like a good time to write them down, create a checklist, if you will.  I may not accomplish them all, but here is what I have so far:

1.  Lose about 35 more pounds by May 20 for the Bay to Breakers and for Sylvia's wedding on May 26 (spaghetti straps - eek!!!).  This one is a must - I want to beat my time at Bay to Breakers and want to have rockin' arms for the wedding!

2.  See more movies at the movie theater - I miss seeing movies!  The summer I saw everything that came out is still one of my favorite summers.....

3.  Read at least one "for fun" book every week.  The book club book is one, now I just need to do 3 more a month.  Right now, I am reading "Nickled and Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich.  Well, I started it anyway..... 

4.  Blog more - at least once a week.  My poor blog gets neglected when I get busy, but I want to make it a priority.  Writing has always been something I've enjoyed, and I feel good when I do it.  So I need to get to it!

5.  Get organized and stay that way.  Yeah, I don't know about this one.  I am semi-organized, but I have a hard time keeping the clutter at bay.  I used to be sooo neat at my old job.  My desk was always neat when I left for the day, and everything had a place.  I was super organized at work, but I've never been able to completely carry that over to home.  I think I might have to call a professional organizer for this one.

6.  Pay off the last debt - my student loan.  With my new, old job, we should be able to pay off the balance this year.  I am so excited to be done with debt. 

So there they are - my "resolutions" for 2012.  I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing!

Happy New Year!!
