Resolutions

Wow. I did pretty well with my resolutions for 2008. I didn’t even realize I accomplished most of these before looking at the list today:

2008 Resolutions:

1. Cancel cable TV. Free HD channels by antenna are the best!
2. Put on lipstick every morning. Keeping a stash of shades by the door has helped.
3. Find a new dentist.
4. Buy measuring spoons. It has occurred to me that I may not be an inherently terrible baker…just not a good guestimator.
5. Camp on Angel Island.
6. Get the dark freckle under my left eye zapped off. It makes me look tired.
7. Be thicker skinned.
8. Take bass lessons.
9. Paint the dining room.
10. Don’t worry. Be happy.
11. Wear more red.
12. Judge others less.
13. Channel the bad-ass-ness of female rockers like Von Iva and Nancy Wilson. Oh, and the laid-back-ness of Kerri Russell.
14. Plan the wedding without undue stress.
15. Go for long rides on the tandem bike along the beach.
16. Make a website for the Ladies Activity Club.
17. Be a better listener. Try to really focus when people are talking and come up with good questions to ask back. Listen to a lot of Terry Gross for pointers.
18. Redecorate the bedroom. (Done, although re-messed up.)
19. Start climbing 5.10 c’s and d’s.
20. Cook healthy food from scratch at least twice a week.

Let’s do it again for 2009:

1. Good posture. This is my main goal for the year. I’m tired of seeing photos where I’m hunched over.
2. Camp on Angel Island. Rob booked a July campsite yesterday.
3. Make the LAC website. Coming soon, I promise.
4. Host at least one dinner party each month.
5. Plan an international vacation.
6. Help Jean & Trent with their wedding.
7. Take an art class.
8. Wear more sneakers.
9. Be bona fide. Defined as: authentic, authoritative, card-carrying, credible, for real, genuine, good-faith, legitimate, natural, official, original, pure, real, rightful, straight, true to life. Kathryn Hepburn and Diane Keaton are muses this year.
10. Make the most of what I have.
11. Have an incredibly fun year!
