New Year's Resolutions...

So...it's that time of year, and by that, I mean new year. The time where everyone decides to give up their vices, turn a new leaf and most times set unrealistic goals to achieve as a new year begins. What have I decided? Nothing to out of the ordinary, but I do suppose I should at least set some resolutions or goals for my future, right?

Resolutions:
- Drink less pop. This is hard for me. I love my collection of Diet Dr. Pepper cans that line the shelf in my office at school. But, if I can give up my pop at school that would mean me drinking more water which is another resolution of mine. I will not, however, be giving up my pop when going out to eat any time soon.
- Read more often. This is something I love to do, yet often find myself pushing off until 10 minutes before bed time, and thus I end up crashing 3 pages into my book. This must change. Perhaps, I'll even join the family book club at school. They read good stuff so don't go thinking I'm going to be reading boring stuff.
- Worry less? Okay, I'm saying it, but not guaranteeing anything either.
- Incorporate weight training into my regular work out program. I hate weights. Less face it. I would rather run umpteen miles than lift a dumb bell if I had to, but to appease my husband, Bob Green, and oh myself I suppose - I will begin doing some form of weight training twice a week.
- Play the piano more often. Once again...like reading. Love to do it, but why not make it a priority?
- Try new places to dine at with the husband or visit new places around the QCA.
- Keeping more track of my life's experiences whether on blogs or journals or something!

Goals:
- Pay off one credit card!
- Train and complete a full marathon - knee permitting of course.
- Catch up on some of my scrapbooking and photos.
- Try my hand at landscaping and gardening this summer. Notice I said TRY. Most likely, I will try to find the easiest flowers to keep that look the nicest.
- Start a gratitude journal and stick to it.

Hmm...and I suppose there are a lot more, but right now those are the ones that spring to mind. I think they're realistic ones, so hopefully I'll be able to stick to them. We'll see...only 2009 will tell!
