Goals

I was thinking back to my resolutions from last year and when I looked them up, turns out I hadn’t actually made any.  I was thinking about the year before.  This whole time I’ve been working on old resolutions.  SO you’d think I’d be good and resolved by now, but I’m not.  Woops.

Oh well.  Onward!

I know some people aren’t into resolutions because they think it’s just setting yourself up for failure and to that I say, Duh.  Tradition!  Last year’s screw up aside, I am all for anything that might promote improvement.  So here we go.  My 2010 list of crap I want to do better:

• My kid watches too much TV.  Because I don’t know how to keep her occupied and get stuff done and play on the internet at the same time.  I’ve tried limiting net time, but that never works out for me.  I think I just need to focus on coming up with things we can do (or she can do, whatever) that gets her away from TV.  Maybe having a set TV watching time?  I haven’t worked out the details quite yet.
• Once this baby is born (after a suitable amount of recovery time) I want to get healthy.  I don’t mean thin (though I will take it!), but healthy.  My cholesterol is too high and I can never get my weight in check.  I just don’t want to feel the way I’ve been feeling.  This is probably going to be the most difficult resolution since I can’t even start until half the year is over, but you have to start somewhere.  I’ll probably try some kind of exercise something I can do at home (2 kids + deployed husband = no free time) and try try try to eat better.  That is my big issue.  I love me some food.
• So, it’s not something I talk about because I am way intimidated by people who don’t suck (as I do), but I’d like to get into photography.  I have a decent camera and a couple of lenses and no knowledge at all.  But I’m working on it.  Trying to learn, even though it is SLOW going.  You would not believe how much there is to it.  It is going to take me SO LONG to get it.  But I’d like to see some improvement this year.
• I’d like to continue being better on the environment.  Maybe use my reusable bags.  I kinda suck at remembering them.  In fact, I don’t even know where they are, so I’ll probably just buy some new ones.  Cute ones that I’ll actually use.
• And, you know, keep my house clean, save the world, cure some disease.  All that good stuff.
