Resolution Time Part II

Ok, here it goes! Time to make 10 resolutions for this year.

1. Take the kids on a nice vacation. I hope I can get a week off during summer this year so I can take them to Florida. They are great kids and they deserve it!

2. Lose weight. My oldest has an exercise plan I will copy. I think I can stick with it!

3. Pay off the rest of my bills. I'm getting closer. With a little luck I can do it this year!

4. Go fishing. Big deal, right? Well, I love fishing and I haven't gone in so long. The bass and northern pike are waiting for me!!!

5. Cook more. You know, I really like to cook. I get a lot of pleasure out of it. I need to find the time to try new dishes!

6. Visit a place I have never been to before. Malaysia was great so might as well try another country!!!

7. Move. Time for a change. 'nough said

8. Learn a new language. I REALLY need to do this. Maybe I will get Rosetta Stone. I hear it works great.

9. Buy a new laptop for myself. This one is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too old!

10. Bring my baby here!!!!! This will take time but will be well worth it!!!

Well, if I can do 7 or more again next year, it will be a good year!!!! Wish me luck!

Resolution Time Again

Well, it's that time of the year again...the end of the year. Time to reflect on the past year and look forward to next year.

Looking back, I decided to look at some of the old comments here. I got a little chuckle from some of them. They were so mean spirited and yet so misguided. I wonder if they realize yet that what they thought was true really isn't. I guess it doesn't matter because I'm in a much happier place now and things are going great.

I also want to look back at this year's resolutions. I want to see how I did.
1. FAIL. hahaha as expected. I did cut back a little but not what I would want to. Well, there is always next year!
2. PASS! I was able to take an amazing vacation to The Philippines and Malaysia.
3. PASS, sort of. I was able to get a lot of things in order. I guess you can never have EVERYTHING in order. All in all, I think I did a lot.
4. PASS! I started to play softball this year.
5. PASS! I bought myself some things that I normally wouldn't have. It felt good! hahaha
6. PASS! I still hate the place, but it really doesn't bother me anymore.
7. PASS! I taught him a lot and we were able to go see the Yankees play, his favorite team!
8. FAIL! Unless you count any veggies on pizza!!! hahahaha
9. FAIL! I never was a reader, I really need to do that more!
10. PASS!!!! What can I say, it was amazing. She just makes me feel so good!

Wow, 7 out of 10. Way better than I thought I would do!!!!

Next blog will be my 10 resolutions for next year.
