New Year Resolutions

I have a few NYRs....I usually shy away from them, but I decided to give it a whirl this year.

A) To find time to be more artistic- be it by sketching, painting, or thru my photography.
*I have a project in mind......every month I'm going to do a piece of artwork that reminds me of someone. At some point- or maybe for Christmas- I'm going to send the piece to them. I have my first piece chosen already. It's a hummingbird for my mom for Mother Day.

B) To finally reach my goal weight.
*Hopefully the project for Resolution A will help with this one by keeping my mind busy with something besides my cooking endeavors. And I've already started eating better and working out evey morning again. I'm still not back to 100% after my illness, but I'm hoping maybe the more I do- the more I'll be ABLE to do too. I still have to nap and hour or so in the afternoons, but that's not a terribly bad thing, is it?

C) To save more for a deposit on our own house and get out the rent-race.
*I'm sick to the teeth of renting. It's money down the drain if you ask me- and since we signed a two year lease agreement back in October- I think we can save enough in two years for a sizable down payment.

D) To be a better person than I was this year.
* Self Exclamatory.
