2010 New Year's Resolution


Hello, remember me? Yes this used to be a blog, but for the last year a bicoastal commute and a severe case of ADD has prevented me from writing anything on it. But this year things are going to change, first of all I want to announce a new endeavor I am embarking with my dear friend Knack also known as the Crafty one:

Basically we are going to visit little and well known places in DC and give our reviews and recommendations, lets just say we think everyone is dying to know what we think about such places as the National Gallery of Art, the Octagon Museum, and many, many more. The main impetus behind this blog is to make sure we are enjoy the city we live in. We have both lived in the area for years and we have barely scratched the surface of the places and things that can be done in the DC area.

Also wanted to share with you my resolutions for 2010, and this year again I will only focus on 4 or 5 things. After many years of writing 12 resolutions every year and never really getting past 3 or 4, I have made an internal change and for the last 2 years I have mostly focused on a couple of things, and last year was a weird year in terms of goals. Weird because I feel I accomplished a lot, but still in terms of traditional goals, lots of things fell by the way side.

So, this year I have the following 4 goals:
  1. Exercise at least 3 times a week (with the travel 3 in average seems like a good goal for when I am in California). This goal should really be loose 20 pounds, but not sure this is going to happen and I do not to set up myself for failure.
  2. Read 2 books every month, one will be the book club book and the other one can be a trashy fiction book of my choosing. In order to keep myself honest, I will use this blog or Knick and Knack to post reviews.
  3. Save some money, with the move and all the purchases for the new apartment savings have diminished, but I think that this year, I will be able to put some money away, and no I will not post any of the progress I make to this goal here.
  4. Consistency,by that I mean keeping up with Knick and Knack, no slacking and no stopping mid way through the year.
  5. Lastly a very specific goal, I need to knit 2 scarves and a baby sweater this year.

Well there you go, that is all I have for this year. I am hoping I can do it all. I am kind of sorta cheating since I already read 2 books in the last 2 weeks (one of them the January book club book) and the Crafty one and myself are planning on taking a knitting class later this spring.
