Ringing in the new year

I'm very glad it is 2011.  I didn't really have a problem with 2010.  In fact, I've been quite happy with life these past few years.  There are definitely things that I reflect upon that I wish I had done differently, but then there are outcomes that have come from my decisions that I can't possibly regret.

One of those decisions was leaving IDG.  Mentally, it was not easy to leave IDG.  I did it for the money...we just needed more at the time.  I ended 2010 on job #4 for the year.  First IDG, then Bose, then Forrester, and now GMI.  I think I'm at the best one yet so far.  I like it here a lot.  I like the work, I like the people, I like the environment.  I think it will be a good place to set down roots for a while...can I retire the resume for a while, PLEASE?!

Every year I think it is a good idea to make resolutions.  Not necessarily because I have to follow them, but just to reflect on the things I could be doing better to make myself a better person.  Here are this year's:

-Exercise more (or at all)
-Read more, watch less TV
-Make a budget and STICK TO IT
-Reach goal weight by June (about 5 lbs/month).
-Make time to blog
-Keep house cleaner

I think all of these are resolutions that I can achieve, although some are more tricky than others! 

And then I have a few resolutions that I plan to keep to myself :) 

I hope everyone so far has been able to stick to your resolutions!  I forgot my lunch today, so I've already kinda busted the tool necessary to "reach goal weight!".  Hopefully I can make it happen tomorrow and forward!
