It's a new year and an obligatory resolution post. I'm back in Houston from the weekend with more Christmasy goodies from my grandpa and I'm still alive despite playing with explosives, I finished my puzzle, and I'm watching Brandon get headshots with his buddies on the XBox. Here are my resolutions and my goals for 2010.
Resolutions:
1. I will eat healthier and exercise more. Saying I'll exercise more is easy because right now I don't really exercise. I'm going to try to get Brandon out of the house more and take the dogs for walks. I want to take the dogs to the dog park and get a muzzle for Lucky so he won't be able to attack other dogs if they run up to him. I'm going to buy more fruits and vegetables and actually cook and eat them. We will eat more chicken and salad and less junk, find an alternative to sodas and cut back on sugar.
2. I will cook more homemade meals. I have tons of cookbooks that were given to me that I need to actually use. Hamburger Helper is easy, but it's also not very healthy.
3. I will be less forgetful. I left my nook at my parents house in Killeen and realized it once we were half an hour down the road to Houston. I begged Brandon to go back to get it and he did, but it still made him mad and it made our trip longer. I know it upsets him when I forget stuff, which I happen to do often, and I need to get better at it. This goes hand in hand with organization. If I were more organized, I would probably forget less.
4. I will blog more. I always have post ideas, but then I just get lazy.
5. I will clean more often. The house gets too messy mostly because I'm lazy or because we go out of town a lot. I need to keep the house cleaner and more organized.
6. I will procrastinate less. This kind of goes along with my laziness theme.
7. I will take more pictures, and get better at using my macro lens.
8. I will go to bed earlier, so I'm not so tired at work, even if Brandon does call me a wuss.
Goals:
1. To edit one of my novels and self-publish through Createspace. Because I won NaNo, I will get a free copy of my book whenever I do it, I just need to do it. I have several novels that need to be edited, I just have to do it.
2. To win NaNoWriMo again. That's not till November though, so I'm good. I will need to have an idea for it though.
3. To finally get the furniture we need in our house. We still need a real bed for our master bedroom and maybe a dresser or something. We also need a dining room table that seats more than four.
4. To get rid of all the cardboard boxes. Maybe I can get Brandon to get rid of his trash.
5. To fully move out of my parent's house. I still have stuff there that I've never brought to Houston.
6. To lose this belly. That goes with the exercise and healthy diet resolution.
7. To take some pictures that I might actually be able to sell.
8. To build our savings back up, so we have money in case of an emergency.
9. To spend less money on frivolous things, so we can buy the stuff we really need, or just save it so we can pay things off.
10. To wean myself off caffeine and sodas completely. That'll take some time.
So those are my resolutions and my goals. I think they're all pretty reasonable. They're mostly things I've been planning all along, but it's nice to get it all down in a list. That's another thing...I need to make more lists. It would help with the forgetfulness.
