I realized that it's almost the end of 2010, and it's been a loooong time since I've blogged. In working on my New Year's resolutions (or just resolutions for any year other than 2010), I figured I'd return to my blog.
This year hasn't been the best. Job stuff, personal stuff, getting pneumonia in November and still fighting it (though will hopefully hear good news from the doctor soon) and just general being unstable. I am definitely looking forward to 2011.
1) I will read 30 books in 2010. I picked 30, because it's close to what I read this year, though I didn't really plan on reading that many.
2) I will begin working out again. I'm waiting until the beginning of the year, because I'm still not feeling 100% yet and don't want to push it. But hopefully will be able to start January 1st.
3) I will purge my apartment and it will be presentable. Yes, I'm turning into an adult. I've already started this goal, and am hoping it keeps being productive. I'm re-arranging many things, getting items ready to donate/yard sale, and settling in.
4) I will stick to my budget better. Heck, maybe I'll even make a budget...lol.
I am working on details for all of these (I think the book one will include some books that I should read, and then some that I just pick up at any random moment). I also have to schedule time for yoga classes and the like. Here we go...

New Year's Post
So, last night we decided to stay home. I wasn't feeling so great, and it was nice to just spend some time at home watching TV and doing a whole lot of nothing. I'm doing the same thing today, watching football, switching over to the Winter Classic hockey game.
Though, as I'm also surfing the internet looking for a yoga class to head to this weekend, I also decided that I am going to make one New Year's Resolution. I wasn't planning on doing it, but this one seems pretty simple and just as a reminder throughout the year.
Make sure to schedule time for ME.
That's it. Simple, easy, but when things get busy, not always so easy. When I tend to get busy, I forget about taking time out for myself. So, whatever it is - working out, yoga, reading, or just watching a movie, I will make sure that I schedule time for myself.

First full week of the New Year
So, tomorrow marks the beginning of the first full week of 2008. I am hoping that it also brings fewer headaches with it. I have had a headache at some point each day for the last 4-5 days. I haven't felt stressed, so I'm not quite sure why I've been getting them.
I'm still trying to keep to my resolutions, and most of them are going well. I have only gotten on my bike once though, so I have to try to make it a habit by doing it multiple days in row. I'll start in the morning. :-)
I have been reading each day, so I'm about halfway through my second book of the year. Movies are going well also - just have to keep it up. I also bought a new planner on Friday, because I decided there wasn't enough room in the one I was using. This week at work, I will also be continuing to make sure things are in order and organized. This year is certainly going to be busy all around for me, and I must be prepared for it!

Additional Resolutions...
I have two additions to my New Year's resolutions - be more organized and be more motivated. While at work today, I thought of both of these. I believe it will help me in all of my endeavors this year!
Those of you who have known me for quite awhile know that I've usually been quite organized - in ways most people would just never be able to understand. I've lost that over the last couple of years, so I will be returning myself to keeping a calendar that I will carry with me. Maybe even go back to the planner...
In doing that, I hope it will help me be more motivated to do the tasks I need to do, whether it be for work, Jaycees, PPYL, or whatever.
Also, I have a resolution to be more positive about myself. I plan on trying to do this not only with myself, but also making sure I say these things to others. Now, how do I say good things about myself without sounding pompous? LOL.

"A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other."
As the New Year is upon us, I would like to wish everyone a happy 2008. I do hope that I won't be at work as much this year! Haha.
I have a few resolutions for this year. Nothing too difficult, I don't think, but we'll see if I can actually keep them.
1) Get myself up in the morning before work and work out for 30 minutes, 4 days a week. (Maybe this will help me not feel so sluggish.)
2) Watch at least 2 movies a week. (There are so many movies I haven't seen!)
3) Read for at least 20 minutes each night. (This should help with the next one...)
4) Read 35 books throughout the year (I will be posting my list of 50 books to read in 2008 when I complete it!)
5) Try to focus on the positive things about me. (I've had a problem with doing this recently, so, help me out y'all!)
I should be able to handle these. I just have to keep myself focused, and also organized much better than I have recently. I used to be so organized, and I'm hoping to gain some of that back!!
