It's 2009!

Wow... I can't believe it's 2009! I love new beginnings and fresh starts. I only wish that New Years would start on a Monday. I have a list of resolutions, but am too OCD to have tried to start them on a Thursday. The bulk of them will be started tomorrow. My mom, sister, and I have become resolution accountability partners and I am hoping this will help me keep my resolutions and not lose sight of them in just a few weeks. For my blog readers out there here are my resolutions:

Eat out only 2x a week
Walk/run 3x a week
Lower cholesterol before June
Drink 4 cups of water a day

Home
Pick up at the end of each day
Stick to cleaning schedule:
M- Dust
T- Water Plants
W- Empty Trash
R- Clean bathroom/scrub
F-
Sa- Laundry
S- Vacuum, Grocery Shop

Find a new church
Increase prayer time

Career/Job

Relationship

Spend less time watching TV

Financial

Check out that last one! I am really hoping to jump back on the bandwagon and start posting again. I know that I seem to say that about once a month, but with my accountability partners, I hope that they really push me to keep up with it. Thank you to those few who have stuck with me and are still reading this. I love you all!
