Cheers!

I have a crap load of Resolutions that I won't even post because I already know I won't keep them.  Is that so wrong?  I am tried of beating myself up for not sticking to the unrealistic expectations I have for myself.  I guess the real challenge is sticking to the realistic expectations, knowing that I made those resolutions for a good reason and they are worth sticking to.  Like:

1) Be in bed by 10:00 (and brush my teeth before bed which should be easier than it is)
2) Try to wash, dry, fold and put away laundry all in one day.
3) Walk
4) Only buy baby clothes when they are NEEDED.
5) Less sudoku, more thank you cards
6) Avoid Craigslist forums, no matter how tempting
7) Watch the Netflix movies we have paid for.
8) Give up on winning the lottery as a problem solving tool
9) Write in Ivy's journal and on this blog
10) Eat more fruit

I know, not very exciting is it?  But in my little suburban mom world, getting shit done makes me feel good and allows me to enjoy the other stuff.  And, see?  Those are doable, I can do all those with a bit of discipline.  Also:

1) Visit my best friend in New York
2) Eat sushi completely disregarding price
3) Worry less about clutter and embrace the mess - or -
4) Throw everything away that I have not used in the past week
5) Organize my frigging recipe book

See, I even TRIED to make a more exciting list.  Sigh.  Oh well, this very boring blogger bids you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
