year in review

last year i made some resolutions and i'd like to review them to see how i did.

1. lose 10 lbs -- as far as i know this did not happen. i'm still hovering around 130 which i'm comfortable at but would always welcome weight lose i'm just not sure it'll be in my new resolution list.

2. use only cold water to do laundry (unless we're dealing with poop or vomit) -- i'm happy to report that for a most part this resolution was kept. i didn't even notice any difference in my laundry (a good thing) so i'll keep on doing this.

3. read (at least) one book a month -- i read 9 books last year but i haven't read a book since July... sad i know! i had a great start with reading even more than my one book a month goal but then i think i got comfortable with my lead and slacked off big time. Chris got me a few books for Christmas this year and i plan on doing an internet fast until Jan 1st so i think i may actually be able to say i read 10 books this year! i really liked this resolution and may keep it on the list for next year too.

4. enjoy a family outing once a month -- unfortunately i have to report a big fat "no" on this resolution. we didn't even do the ice skating i talked about in the resolution itself... UGG! this year got away from me for sure. with me working long hours 1/2 the year and Chris not working at all this year it was a strange year to say the least. but really i wasn't even conscious about this resolution after March i'm afraid. i just plum forgot (note to self: review new years resolutions once a month!) not to say that good times weren't had.... we did manage to go camping and have a mostly lousey time :o) but we went! i'm not sure i'll revisit this resolution exactly but i might have some variation of it in the 2010 year.

so like i said i'll be off of the internet until next year. i need some time to unplug and focus on more important things. hopefully i'll get that last book read and figure out a nice direction for my life. see ya next year!
