New Year.....

I'm hoping that this will have the same effect as writing down a to-do list..maybe the likelihood that I'll stick to these goals will improve :)

1. Be more open minded with food (ie, stop eating with my eyes) I always go off of the way something looks as to whether or not I'll eat it. I've realized that this is stupid, because fish with the skin on it tastes EXACTLY the same as fish with the skin off of it.

2. Lose this last 10 lbs of baby weight, get back into shape. I loved working out before I got pregnant. I miss it. I miss my cute clothes.

3. Be a great mom. You only get the chance to impact a life this much once. Noone will ever need me like my child does. I want to be knowledgable of her needs, but not over spoiling.

4. TAKE THIS ADVICE-----"If God delivers you from a messy relationship, friend or situation, why do you keep PULLING THEM BACK? Let it go!"
I don't think this needs explanation.

5. Be more "warm." The chicks at work said that I'm not "warm and inviting." Apparently people are afraid to hug me because I'm unapproachable and not necessarily a "huggie" type person. I think I got ruined in highschool when everyone would hug after every class. It's kind of creapy. But, nonetheless, I want people to feel comforted by my presence and not intimidated by it.

6. Be a better wife. Jim's a great guy. I forget that sometimes. I need to cut him more slack.

7. This should be the first one up there.. Get intuned with God. I know that "you only live once" BS is a contagious theory, but what about the bigger picture? I don't want to just believe in God, I want a growing relationship with him.

8. Forgive myself. I suck at this, have always sucked at this, and need to just do it all ready.

9. Get some investments going. Short term and long term. Because if
"you only live once" ---it might as well be in a nice place that you OWN.

10. Finish my degree! Seriously Janet...how long does it take to graduate college? I'm not going for a world record here!

I'm pretty sure I could fill up this page with a bunch of junk that I plan to change come 2008, because I do it every year...and unfortunately, they're usually the same resolutions. ***hangs head in shame***
