I Resolve

"I decided to start anew- to strip away what I had been taught, to accept as true my own thinking, this was one of the best times of my life".

-Georgia O'Keefe, artist (1887-1986)

2008 is done. 2009 is ahead. I have a clean slate. I start the new year with an A+, so what do I resolve?

• I resolve:

To be more tolerant

To give more time to my kids

Walk at least 5 times a week.

to stick to my exercise schedule!

to try really hard not to get emotional during house hunting.

to hump my husband more

To get my anger problems under control

Treat my time unemployed as a blessing and get more things done around the house, while still looking for a job. Cut down on the days I spend pouting.

I second the "humping" thing

to express my opinion in front of a group. 
to feel what i feel and be okay with it.
to stay organized.
to stay on top of my assignments.
to not pick at food.
to be honest.

To finally do the dishes.
To finally put away ALL of the laundry instead of saving the last two baskets for tomorrow.
To eat less bagels this year.
To fit into my size small pants comfortably.
.. To find out what that huge crash in the kitchen was.

To laugh more

To not take myself so seriously

To not worry about finding a guy...I am beautiful, funny, smart, an all around great catch...any guy would be lucky to have me, and I will find my prince charming when the time is right

To flirt more

To go for what I want!

To have FUN!!

To Start my 20's out right!

... to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

To follow my stretching/and workout routine; to do at least one 5k race.

To spend more time with the children (and really work on learning..My Baby Can Read program).

To do my chore calendar/list like I have it wrote down.

I "third" the humping thing and spend more time with him; go on more "dates."

it doesn't need to be a new year to bring it.
