Resolutions 2009 - Aiming High

Wow! I cannot beleive that it has been 3 weeks since Ive blogged. Weve all had bouts with whatever form of ick went around...Matts even gotten sent home from school a couple times.

Anyway, I really didnt want to blog about anything political - so Ive kept my blogging mouth shut!

So, after accomplishing almost everything on last year's resolution list, I am definately aiming a little higher this year. Im going to change some habits and truly be organized!



Here they are:

1) I will complete the organizing of my photo albums. I made it from 1971 to 2003 last year, so I feel that this resolution should be a breeze.

2) I will organize my recipes. I have so many loose ones plus duplicates from previous attempts. I hope to start this project by March.

3) I will keep the linen closet un-cluttered. This is a no-brainer.

4) I will go thru old files / old magazine scraps at least once a week. I went 6 months without doing it last year. I hope to keep up on it better this year.

5) We will begin recycling aluminum. Last year I resolved to recycle paper, and I have become a paper nazi (sorry about the descriptive word-If it offends, I am sorry)

6) I will drink at least one bottle of water a day. Every bottle drank will replace a caffeinated drink.

7) I will make sure to take 15 minutes EVERY morning to stretch and warm up. This is mostly because of my joint pain, and I realize that I have to strech every morning, not just the ones I feel pain.


So, do you think Ive aimed too high? What are your resolutions?
I am finally done with decorating! Just got odds and ends before Christmas Eve!

2008 Resolution Update

Well, its November now, and I found the paper with my resolutions written on it.

I didnt do too bad.

1-Learn a new graphics program (nope, this one didnt happen. Im stuck on mic)
2-Reduce clutter (yep)
3-Keep linen closet straight (yep)
4-Keep closet clean and organized (yep)
5-Organize photos (in progress)


The only resolution I completely ignored was to learn a new graphics program. I totally love using mic. Maybe Ill learn a new program next year.


I have been organizing my photos since mid-October. So far, Im up to 2003. Not bad. Definately an improvement in the area they are contained.


Im looking ahead to 2009 and wondering what areas of my life need a kick start.
This year, Im posting my resolutions here, that way I dont lose the list!
