Resolutions

2011 New Year's Resolutions


For Bear:
1. Take him for daily walks, weather permitting.
2. Feed him organic vegetables and hormone free meat and dairy.
3. Finish his playroom in the basement.
4. Take him to play pool and get dinner (he really loves it!!) every Thursday evening at BWB.
5. Take him someplace special after school once a week like for an event or playtime at the Nature Center.
6. Send him to spend time with his dad regularly.
7. Tell him I love him all the time and give him lots of hugs and kisses!


For Me:
1. Get in shape, I need to maintain a healthy diet combined with cardio and strength training so I will be on my game by the time I get to the academy in a few years.
2. Cook for the family 4 times a week.
3. Rearrange my room with my new bed, hang all the pictures and all sconces and ceramics and put down the finishing coats of floor paint in my closets.
4. Pack my plate responsibly, everyone has a plate above their head, where they try to balance their daily responsibilities, needs and wants of not only themselves but others they care about. This year I had a really hard time balancing everything, I let myself get pushed off my plate and I fell into sickness and exhaustion for approximatively 2 months. I discovered the best way of coping was figuring out how much room you have on your plate and planning what your going to put on it. So I had a list that I put in my mind by priority and I'm going to figure that list out at the beginning of every week. And I'm always going to keep myself and Bear at the top of that list. You know you should always keep yourself above all others but as a mom I can't do that, his needs come first, of course if I will be less grumpy with a shower I'm gonna go with that even if he doesn't like it.
5. Continue to get straight As and complete at least 33credits this year. I will do that by refining the system I used last year, which was always doing the reading before class, take messy quick notes in class then rewriting those within 24hrs to memorize the information, then doing my thorough study guides before every exam. Making research plans for papers and projects. Writing everyday for papers not just in one sitting. Taking advantage of the libraries.
6. Have a hobby. I am thinking of motorcycling, so I will try to find people and friends and go on rides with them and learn about them. I am saving up money for a cruiser, insurance, helmet and lessons I need to take to get a license, and of course the license.
7. Do well in my new pet-sitting gig I got for the new year, have to let out a couple dogs in the neighborhood every afternoon to pee and have some hugs and treats. Hopefully the word of mouth on the listserv will get me more gigs. The extra income could help me maintain payments on motorcycle insurance.
8. I'm blushing while writing this but I think writing it will help. I will shave my shit everyday and lotion up and look nice not for any boyfriend, not for meeting someone, just for me, all for me, treat myself special and beautiful because I love myself.
9. Keep with my no relationship policy 6 months from my breakup with Brendan. Doesn't include dates and flings for fun, you know a girl needs to have a good time.


Well think that's plenty to do for the new year, think I'll revise this at the end of every month.


Happy new years!!!
