Making Resolutions

I welcomed in the brand new year by falling asleep right after midnite! Oh well....I am not the party animal I used to be.

It is also that time of the year to make new resolutions. I, quite honestly, totally suck at doing this. I never write them down, so I conveniently forget them...lol. So I thought I would jot them down here. Let's see if this will work or not!

1. WEIGHT LOSS: I want to lose 20 lbs. this year. I think this is an easy amount that can be achieved with simple and easy tasks. Yes, I know, I need to lose more, but I don't like setting myself up for failure. Achieve a simple resolution and anything else I would lose is just icing on the proverbial cake!

2. SCRAPPING: Oh this one should be easy! Yeah right! I decided I was not going to get in on the hubbub of the Project 365. If I have a chance, then I will take an appropriate picture. What I decided to do was to keep a diary. I am jotting down things that happen in the news and what happened in our daily lives here. Like I said on a message board, I want to leave the grandkids and such a written document of life in 2009. Anything can be newsworthy in my mind...lol. I also want to do more challenges (thanks Sweet Shoppe for doing them daily!), both digitally and paper scrapping. I am going to use up my supplies that are just sitting there in bookcases in the scraproom. I have already started making more cards.

3. CLEANING: I am going to get better at scheduling my cleaning of the house. I am not Martha Stewart. I accept that. But I can schedule things better so I have more time during my days off.

4. ORGANIZATION: Again, organization is not my strong suit. I am doing all this by baby steps. First I need to purge things AGAIN! I love lists...just never look at them again. This will change!

5. ENJOY LIFE: This is the most important resolution. I want to enjoy all that life has to give. I am afraid I get lost in the day-to-day schtuff and forget to have fun. I want to take photography classes. I want to learn to bake bread the old-fashioned way.

these are my resolutions for the year 2009. I think they are simple enough to achieve and fulfill. Time will tell.

Till later my blog friends.
