2010 Wench-olutions
Modified from my 2009 resolutions...
1. Call my Mom twice a week, just to make sure she isn't lying in the icey driveway with a broken hip. I try to institute The W Rule -- Wednesdays and weekends.
2. Keep in touch with my friends better, including all the friends from grade school that I have reconnected with, thanks to FaceBook, which is turning out NOT to be an introvert's wet dream, thankyouverymuch.
3. Cook healthy meals more often because we both need to lose weight, and I have two hours to myself before Husband gets home from work, so there's just no good reason not to. (Well, actually, there are PLENTY of good reasons not to -- see resolutions two, four through seven, and nine.)
4. Sing more often, even if it's just in the car because that "O Little Town of Bethlehem" at the Christmas Day service was just pathetic.
5. Take better care of the dogs. I mean, I'm not abusive or anything, but they REALLY need to be brushed and walked more regularly. And maybe if I cut Daisy's nails more often, she wouldn't have a deep-rooted fear of the linoleum.
6. Blog twice a week, even if it's just a paragraph or photo. Or a rehashed New Years' Resolutions List.
7. Start writing my damn book already. How about one chapter by 2011, okay, Wenchie? Or at least the introduction and dedication page?
8. Stop pretending that I am a photo album kind of person and just put all my electronic photos on the cool flash drive that Husband got me for Christmas. Seriously, I haven't looked at a photo album in YEARS. Or see if they have any cute photo boxes at Target because I am totally a box kind of person (thanks, Lori!).
9. Start playing piano again, before arthitis starts to set in. I'm forty now, so it's bound to start happening! I'm already having trouble seeing things up close! Can death be far behind? What's that, Grandma? Walk towards the light?
10. Upgrade our current outdated, delapitated, Smithsonian-worthy t.v. to a new, wide flatscreen. Make a deal with Jeebus, if necessary -- no new Coach purses in 2010 if I can just have a new t.v.!
Now to print this off and hang it somewhere I'll always see it. Like inside the fridge.
