When doing a little spring cleaning last weekend (better late than never as grandma used to say) I stumbled upon a list of New Year's resolutions and I noted a couple things right away. First of all most of this list could be from any year of my life (what is it I am doing with the 365 days we get?) and my penmanship has gotten really awful!
Since half of 2009 has bitten the dust let's take a look at a few and see where we stand:
1. Learn about wine
(people assume because I work with cork that I am some kind of wine expert as if I drink all the wine that my little corks used to store - but I only know that it comes in 2 colors - I do know my wine coolers, though)
2. Stop talking to family and friends about Etsy all the time
(I think this problem has gotten worse actually - when the neighbors' kids ask you if you have been on the front page lately you know things have gotten bad)
3. Stop eating so much guacamole
(I hear it's good fat and ok now, right?)
4. Join a gym
(check)
5. Go to gym
(hmmm....)
6. Read a biography of Amelia Earhart
(I can't believe I still know nothing about Amelia Earhart- other than the mystery of her death- I am actually going to do this one- like seriously)
7. Learn a skill that hubby usually does
(I was realizing that I kind of "let" him do certain things around here - I mean he should be doing something right? But they are things that I need to know how to do, too. Like I don't know exactly where the water meter is under the house or how to turn the water off down there - stuff like that - stuff that could come in handy one day - not that I'm planning to push him off the roof or anything...)
8. Stop eating out during the week
(the economy took care of this one for me)
9. When complimented on something I'm wearing, don't say "Oh, I got this at Marshall's for $5.99."
(I rarely get compliments like this anymore, so this problem solved itself, too.)
10. Be off the computer by 8PM
(I am breaking this one right now)
But, at least I am consistent and I am sure "be more consistent" is on here somewhere too and actually finding this list seems a step in the right direction.
