resolved.

Who doesn’t make resolutions at the beginning of every year?  I’m not even a fan of them but I find myself thinking about them each New Year’s.  This year I decided to take a cue from something my high school art teacher taught us.  I didn’t just set goals, I resolved to do things.  I’m not making a list of things of things that I hope to be able to accomplish this year.  Instead I’m making a list of things I will do this year and putting it out there to happen.  So here goes.

In 2010 I will:
- Read at least 20 books (I’m currently on numbers 6 and 7)

- Finish rereading the Book of Mormon

- Take a name to the temple (it’s all ready now…just needs to be done)

- Lose all this baby weight (and yes, I’m still going to call it that even though my baby will turn 2 this year), slowly but surely so that it stays off

- Go on a hike each month

- Pay off AT LEAST one or two creditors

- Attend the temple each month

- Be more provident by preparing my own mixes for ready-use (done at least once now)

- Learn to can (no, not can-can)

- Teach W & P to play piano

- Paint something

- Focus each day not on making my house clean, but instead on helping it be more clean more often

- Take one photo each day to document what our life is like  (ok- I was doing this but find that it’s hard to do when I’m sick so I am actually missing some and am really bugged by this)
