so here's a copy of my blog of resolutions from last year- let's see how i did...

2007, Here I Come


2007- New Years Resolutions....

I'm always hesitant about this, but hey, I'm feeling ballsy, so let's go!

- I want to read the entire Bible through for the 3rd year in a row- and not as a task, but as something I want to do
ALMOST DONE WITH THIS ONE

- I want to drink less soda & a lot more water (including vitamin water bc i love that stuff)
CHECK, I DID PRETTY WELL

- I want to hand out more compliments, genuine ones
I THINK I DID ALRIGHT

- I want to exercise more...hell, period. I'm not ready to say that I want to "eat healthier" because I'm not- I love food too much. I will say I'd like to work out at least 3 times a week...to work off some of that good food I can't give up
THIS DEFINITELY DIDN'T HAPPEN 3 TIMES A WEEK EVERY WEEK, BUT I JOINED BODY FIT & I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT FITNESS

- I want to pray daily- not just when I need something or when I'm down.
I'M SURE I WENT SOME DAYS BEING A SELFISH LAZY IDIOT NOT PRAYING, BUT I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THIS ONE

- I want to smile more often
I DEFINITELY SMILED MORE THIS YEAR- THIS YEAR SERIOUSLY ROCKED

- I want to stay the crap away from drama at all costs. I hate it & life is too short to let dramatics creep into your life. This includes people that get off on drama- I don't have time- there are too many 1) new people to meet & spread love to, 2) cool people to spend time with . If you're into drama, please leave me alone.
YESSSS, THANKFULLY THIS ONE WAS KEPT!

- I want to find another organization I'm passionate about to volunteer with.
I'M STILL DECIDING ABOUT THIS ONE.

- I want to travel & go on more road trips -for concerts, friend visits, new sights, etc.
DEFINITELY KEPT- HELLO MISSION TRIP TO BELIZE

- I want to take more chances & not be afraid to dream (cue music to "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes")
CHECK

- I want to work on more movies and see more movies in the theater
CHECK TO WORKING ON MORE MOVIES, BUT I DIDN'T SEE AS MANY IN THE THEATER AS USUAL. MAYBE NEXT YEAR.

- I want to actually send out Christmas cards next year
BALLS TO THE WALLS- FAILED THIS ONE

- I want to be able to play more than 3 songs on the guitar
CHECK- NOT TOO MANY MORE, BUT STILL MORE THAN 3

- I want to share great bands with more people & hope others will do the same for me
CHECK

- I want to try to enjoy talking on the phone more- I used to love it & talk on that thing all the time, but I'm just not a fan much these days. I need to pick up the phone and call people more, though.
HMMM, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE EITHER

- I want to carry my camera around more often
CHECK

-I want to floss every nite
NOT EVERY NITE, BUT I'M DOING PRETTY GOOD

-I want to do random acts of kindness for others as much as possible!!
THIS HAPPENED, BUT NOT AS OFTEN AS I'D LIKE

That's what I got for now. There are plenty more, but we'll stick with those. HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!!! love & blessings to you all.
