2014

I don't really like the idea of New Year's Resolutions. I think a lot of people use it as an excuse to start a new diet or exercise plan that they completely quit by February. If you're going to make a positive change in your life, you can start it any day, it doesn't need to be January 1st. But, who am I to make fun of people for doing something good for themselves, right?

I do like the idea though of looking at this new year and thinking of how I want it to go. Though I really have such little control over how it will inevitably go, I can make conscious choices that can possibly help shape it. Best intentions and all that.

So 2014, this bright, shiny, new year, I hope...

* To get a new *** (some things you can't REALLY say on your public blog, now can you?)

* To be ******** (whoops, not that one either)

* For my mom to visit us

* To drink less (my raging champagne headache this morning agrees)

* To be running again like we were back in California (my fat ass agrees)

* To own more pants (I know how stupid this sounds, but I own like 2 pairs of good pants, it's a problem)

* To have at least a little better idea of where we're going to end up living

* To continue to be thankful for where we live now and the different turns our lives have taken

* To buy more from the local farmers (we always end up grocery shopping too soon and missing the good markets)

* To take the dogs on longer walks

* To make some friends (this one's a pathetic one, but for reals, we need to)

* To blog more and put more effort into it
* To read more and watch less tv
* To just do more. Couldn't we all just do more? Get off my ass more, read more, blog more, work out more, all that. 

And on top of all that I hope to not...

* Get down on myself as much
* Get as frustrated at work
* Stress about the future, just let it happen
* Think as many negative thoughts
* Be demotivated both in the gym and at work and just anywhere


So...let's do this 2014 shall we? And really, not just 2014, but from now on, eh?
