I’m aiming to cook more, too. And I need to go to a beach and really hang spend time at it. I’ve been in LA a year and haven’t done that yet, and that strikes me as incredibly wrong and something I must change.
You are so like me that it’s scary at times! I could easily adopt each and every one of your resolutions. But how ambitious am I this year? Still undecided. Perhaps I’ll blog it out in the morning.
um, you totally just wrote MY own resolution list, minus the mouth-breathing.
“Less mouth-breathing” hahahahaaa
Organizing photos is a great one!
Sunscreen is essential. And you know where it starts? Moisturizer. Seriously… getting a daily moisturizer with SPF 15 changed my life. Clearly, I don’t have much of a life, but it’s worth considering.
I definitely want to wear suncreen more often (and have healthier skin.) And I want to get skinny, too.
Good luck with your resolutions! I still need to write mine down so I can be held accountable!
I too want to organize my photos, buy more frames. I also want to organize my desk; I have bills crammed into my drawer and I can’t open it! Sunscreen is a must! In the summer I slap it on before I get in the car and I wear an SPF moisturizer in the winter.
Saying no was on my list for last year and I’ve said it a couple of times; it has hurt people but honestly, I don’t really care. I can’t be superwoman and do everything for everyone all the time, they’ve learned to adjust and it’s getting better. I’m still striving to say no once and a while.
Amen to speaking with more authority. Me too.
i totally did the ‘quit starting sentences with i sorta think’ one year and i kind of think it worked.
no really it was a great practice and it actually made me feel more confident.
I love reading other people’s resolutions. I’m late in making my list of specifics this year, but maybe I still will. Good luck!
But the trash is so fun to read haha (says the celeb gossip obsessed Jamie)
Note: organizing photos was an impossible task until I lugged photos to best friend’s and had her help me. She didn’t do anything but remove duplicates, but even that made a world of difference. And it’s a great bonding thing to do so, I say to thee: recruit a friend! Harness the power of shared giggles! And horror! Because we wore terrible things in high school!
what were they last year?
I love your list, especially the speak with more authority part.
Also, once someone told me that when a girl does “girl” push ups it is equivalent in difficulty as when a boy does “boy” push ups because of where our center of gravity is. If that is true, graduating to “boy” push ups would actually mean you are doing almost twice as much. I haven’t researched it, but I tell myself it is true.
I like this Susan’s concept above.
