My first one is to be more crafty. Willie bought me a sewing machine with all the accessories for Christmas (isn't he the best?!) , and my mother-in-law bought me a Dremel, so I'm learning how to use those day by day. I'm almost done with my first real project, so I will share here when it's done.
That's my second resolution, by the way. I am going to incorporate more of my interests (cooking, crafting, my ETSY shop, and maybe even some TV or movie "reviews" if I'm in the mood) and not only focus on being a mom, because I am so much more than that. Be expecting my first ever giveaway this spring for my anniversary to Surviving Motherhood, too. I'll tweet about it as the time gets closer, but I'm already brainstorming some great stuff!
My third resolution is the obligatory "work out and lose weight" resolution. I know, I know. How unoriginal, but hey, it's something I need to do, so what better time to start than now? Some friends and I joined up and we are participating in a WiiFit challenge, so that should be fun. I'm also playing with the idea of starting up a brand new blog, completely dedicated to this journey. I gained a lot of weight when I met Willie, more when we got married, and of course, even more when I had Addison. I am now at least 20 pounds heavier than I was the day I met him, and would love to get back (or close) to that weight again. I'll decide this week whether I have time enough for a second blog, and if I start it up, you'll be the first to know.
My fourth resolution I feel should be more of a warning to those of you in my personal life. From this day forward, no longer will I rely on the internet and on texting to keep in touch with those of you important to me. I feel we should bring back the phone calls and the personal relationships-you know, the face to face kind-so don't be surprised or worried when your phone rings. It's only me, trying to bring back the old concept of actually talking to my friends.
So there you have it. My resolutions for 2010. What are your resolutions? Is there anything you (my readers) want to improve on in the upcoming year? Please share. It's so nice to get it all down on paper.

We can still text though right? I mean if you want to call me that's cool too but a flight to Seattle or California for some coffee might be extreme! Eh.. maybe not! :-) Sounds like 2010 is going to be a good one!
ReplyDeleteHa. I won't be anti-texting at all! No way can I give it up cold turkey. I am just going to make more of an effort to call people as well :)
ReplyDeleteI gave up facebook and am working out everyday. The facebook hasn't been hard at all. Even though everything I use is still connected to it I am not signing in and staring at my newsfeed for hours at a time so that's a big step right? It does suck not talking to people but if that's the only way they're going to talk to me then I don't need them anyway right?
