Happy New Year!

Yes, I know it’s January 3rd, but my vacation is over and I’m back on the keyboard. So, Happy New Year!

I hate resolutions. The few times I’ve tried to actually make a resolution I get annoyed with having it hanging over my head like an annoying bug whispering in my ear, “That’s going to break your resolution if you do that…” Ugh.

Instead, I have a few goals. If I don’t meet my goals this year, I won’t beat myself up. That’s a goal too.

1)         Don’t freak out about missing goals/personal deadlines/letting the kitchen counter get messy.
2)         Get in (a different) shape. As in, try to redefine the waist I know is in there somewhere. I know there’s no way in heck that I’m going to get physically fit, I haven’t had the motivation to do that in the last 10 years and I have no desire to do it now. But buttoning my pre-maternity pants up without hurting myself would be nice.
3)         House projects – finish Max’s room (almost done!), finish the kitchen, finish the dining room, start the living room and upstairs bath.
4)         Landscape projects – fill in the swimming pool dent (it was an above ground pool, so it’s only 1’ or so deep), tear out the weird deck/garden/pond thing and refashion the space into a real flowerbed. Possibly do something about the fence.

What are your goals for the year?

  2. Veggie gardens are so worth it! I've been lusting after seed catalogs the last few weeks, planning this year's garden. :)
