Resolve This.

Let's go over last years resolutions and see how I've done...

2009 Resolutions




* Make something creative for my home each month.  (Eh, I do good at this in general.)



* Use cloth bags for shopping-no more plastic bags.  (I do this and I am very proud of that fact!)



* Walk on the treadmill 1/2 hour, 3 days a week & work out arms to get definition.  (Yeah, right.)



* Get out a debt. (This is the hardest for me...but I will be diligent.)  (I've actually done a really good job of doing better with money.)



* Eat healthier. Organics, whole grains, fruits, veggies, broiled or baked meat, fish, chicken, fewer sweets, drink more water.  (Surprisingly, I've done better with my overall eating habits this year.  I've lost about 15 pounds...not bad?)



* Get the basement organized & cleaned. (Buy plastic containers with lids for keep stuff. Donate stuff.)  (Yeah, not so much.   But a little bit...which is better than no bit.)



* Work to keep my room clean & organized.  (I just moved out of the messy room.  Ha.)



* Get the kids rooms painted, redone, etc.  (Well, no.  Not even close.  But the kids moved out over the summer so this became less important.)



* Explorer fixed or traded or both.  (Gone baby gone.)



* Pay off college bill by summer to enroll in summer math course for graduation 2010.  (YES! YES! YES!  Tomorrow is my math final, and I am so passing the class.  Holy Cow!  I am all done and ready for a 2010 Spring Graduation!)



* Get out of debt and save for Illinios trip...June 21, 2009.  (Ok, so we didn't get our summer trip to Illinois, but we are getting a Christmas Trip instead, and I'll take it!!)



* Recycle.  (I've done this a bit.  It's hard.  Of course, it's hard to be passionate about something when those around you aren't so passionate.  But this is something I will continue to work on.)




* Be nice to all...even if I don't wanna.  (With the exception of one person...I'm all good.)



* No fast food.  (Ya know, oddly enough, I didn't even remember that this was a resolution, but I don't eat nearly as much fast food now, as I did before.  So, although I do indulge occasionally, I'd say I'm 80% there.)



* Believe.  (This one has been hard for me.  It's been a rough year at times.  I will always work on this one though.)
