no new year's resolution

Everyone these days has some kind of New Year's Resolutions. More times than not they are the ones that vow to shed a few pounds or to tone up or to eat less. Yes, many of Americans resolutions have something to do with weight and a little less to do with something else, but we pretty much kill it before January is even over, so this year I have a bucket list of things I want to accomplish during 2012. This beats having a handful of failed resolutions any day!

In no particular order...

- have a homemade Christmas

- take a vacation, whether it's mini or major with Mark

- send a lot more snail mail

- see a few less pounds on the scale (see how I did that)

- host at least 3 gatherings

- triple my income from eBay

- blog more frequently

- see a lot more money in the savings account

- attend a concert

- go to an NFL or NBA game

- cook at least 4 times a week

- buy a new car

- eat at 5 new non-chain restaurants

- read at least 5 books

- own a android smartphone

- go to bed earlier and stay on a regular routine

- stay at a bed and breakfast

I'm sure I am missing a lot of things that I want to accomplish this year but that's what is great about a blog; I can update it whenever I want. The most important part is that I have other people to encourage me and to hold me accountable to help me accomplish this list.

Here's to nothing but great things in 2012. Cheers!!!

Have a Happy New Year, everyone!!!!
