Resolutions Resolutions....
Well here we are on the cusp of a new year. Looking back what a year it's been...Saddam dead, polar reefs breaking away, war, destruction and K fed's album.
I have begun thinking about my resolutions. What should I aim for? I was thinking of saying things like GAINING weight, DRINKING MORE COFFEE, spreading the clutter because you know usually the opposite of your resolution(s) happens. No I will really make a true list. A few top priorities to mold my life in a better direction. So without further adau
1. Lose weight. Now the Hub's Dr has told him to lose (censored by hubs) pounds so I will have a partner in the quest. No more "fried things with cheese" aka Joey.
2. GET ORGANIZED. Get rid of the clutter. Clutter is a symptom (I don't know of what but by the articles I am reading they say it is). Three bags went to the Goodwill yesterday. No more using the guest room as my "drop spot" for misc items. I think my friend K. has some goods tips so if you are reading this please send them!
3. Get over myself and stop whining. With so much hurt & fear in the world I will realize how blessed I am and reach out more.
4. Exersize. i will put fun boppy things on my mp3 player and get up & move!
5. Get cleaning. Get a schedule and keep the house clean. Do you know despite all the inventions the time a woman spends on housework has not changed since the 1920's? scary. This will also cross with #4 and count as exersize.
6. The dreaded B word has been brought up and after a few shivers and shakes (and much more drama in the household then I can go into here) I will embrace the BUDGET. Last year I made a resolution not to buy things just because they were "an awesome deal". I have followed that and it really helped me out. But now, more help is needed. This will the hardest of all. As most everything else I have done before (maybe not completely successfully but that's another issue) but the Budget has never ever been achieved even for a short time.
I will keep everyone up to date on my progress and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
I have a great schedule for cleaning, it's from Real Simple Magazine, I will either post it or send it to you. It will help with the cleaning dramatically! I'll also have to post a few other tips for you.
ReplyDeleteBTW, what you wrote about me being one of your true friends almost made me cry...very touching and true. Happy New Year!
