Can you believe it is 2009?

I am so shocked that 2008 is just about gone and we are starting a whole new year...2009!

I started to reflect on the things that I had said I wanted to accomplish in 2008, I wanted to see which ones I actually succeeded at, so below are just a few of the 2008 resolution list items:

* Lose weight -- well, ya that happened. Then I gained it back, then lost a little again, then gained it back. CLEARLY, my method of weight loss was not good for 2008. 2009 also holds the same resolution, but I am changing my methods and incorporating some new exercise plan (I hate to exercise, but just gotta do it!)

* Be more financially secure and have more in savings -- again, did not happen.

* Spend more time with family -- I succeeded at this one and we plan to continue this into 2009!
* Send everyone a birthday card before their birthday -- succeeded to a point. November and December were pretty much a wash. I totally did not send one birthday card out! Poo Poo on me!

* Get school stuff organized so I quit missing deadlines for school things for the kids -- this so did NOT happen. I can not seem to find a good system for this.

My 2009 resolution list isn't quite complete yet, but what I decided to do was downsize-- so I am making a list by quarters -- you know "First Quarter of 2009", "Second Quarter of 2009", etc. I am hoping that by setting smaller goals that I will be able to reach them? One can hope, right?

Happy 2009!
