New Year's Resolutions


This year I have only a few and none of the old ones that I used to have. I have given up on dieting. I figure it will come when it comes and not before, so there is no reason to put it on my list as it has been for many years now.

1. Be more organized. This is one that has been on the list for some time and since I never seemed to make it past the dieting one, this one hasn't seen the light of day. Everything has a place and if it doesn't then it is going out of here. My husband has been on a roll in the past couple of days working toward this goal, so I am picking up his energy and moving forward.

2. Create more and give. I have made the commitment to use my handwork talents to help others and I will be donating more this year than in years past. More newborn hats, blankets and such. I have a few great people and organizations who I have been researching and will be sending off my donations there. I have one box ready to go already with 14 squares to be put together for a baby blanket.

3. Walk more. I have a treadmill which needs dusting and a neighbor who I am going to hopefully convince to walk with me a couple times a week. At Disney World I wore my pedometer and one day I reached 29,000 steps! I want to just get to 8,000 steps a day to start.

4. Plan at least one family outing or trip a month. This past year we didn't use the trailer but twice the whole year. I want to go somewhere at least once a month with the family. We don't have to use the trailer or go anywhere fancy but just go somewhere together. January is already planned!! We are going to Great Wolf Lodge!

5. Boost our savings. This is a necessity for us and while it is number 5 on my list it is no less important than the others. I want to double our savings this year from last year.

Oh man, that ole "lose weight resolution" gets us all, now doesn't it? I try to keep it in perspective, all the other women in my family weight at least 50 pounds more than I do, so I am the skinny one, HA!!! Isn't that funny???
Anyways, good luck with your resolutions.
And no, there was no tongue!!! LOL!! You made me laugh though. I saw what you might have thought was tongue and I think it must be my husband big lips. They go right along with his big head!
