Happy New Year!

(I love, love, love the scheduled posting option!)

I am making New Year's resolutions this year, and I'm posting them here so I can refer to them throughout the year and monitor my progress. Here they are.

1. Live a healthier life -- John and I both need to eat better. I can't be responsible for what John eats when he isn't home, but I can be responsible for the meals we have here. So, my first resolution is to do a better job of preparing healthy meals. That doesn't mean we won't have the occasional pizza...

2. In addition to eating better, we need to exercise. I'm going to begin walking again, and as an incentive, I will reward myself with a nice massage if I walk at least 3 days a week between Jan. 1 and Mar. 31. I'll have to find out what John wants as an incentive...

3. Procrastinate less. That is one of the major causes of stress I have in my job. As an English teacher, I have lots of papers to read and grade. I always start out with good intentions of getting them done in a timely manner, but before I know it, the term is about to come to an end and I end up with 90 papers to grade in a week. argh!

4. Life, laugh, love. I do this every day anyway, but I wanted to include one resolution that I KNOW I won't break. lol

Here's to a wonderful 2009!
