01) Get back into blogging (I've been such a slacker since summer '08): I feel like I've done a fairly decent job at this. Maybe not in quantity of posts, but definitely in quality. I've been working on making the blog more my own. Something I'd want to read. It's still a work in progress, but it's getting there.
02) Save money for laptop and iPhone: iPhone purchased (and loved)? Check! Still saving up for a laptop, but it's within reach.
03) Sew, sew, then sew some more: I've officially expanded this resolution to include all crafts...not just sewing. See some of my '09 projects here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Phew!
04) Get to work on time (why am I always 3 minutes late?): Oh brother...can we forget I ever said I'd work on this? Maybe in 2010.
05) Plant a vegetable garden: Yup. It's growing as we speak (or should I say, as I type). Stay tuned for an upcoming 'how-does-my-garden-grow' post.
06) Play with Sniffles and Olly more: This one's been easy. My two kitties are always in the mood for a game of 'chase the laser pointer light' or 'fetch the play mouse.' Those two...boy, I love 'em lots!
07) Discover new music to listen to: I'm overwhelmed with the amount of incredible artists out there...just waiting to be discovered. I'm currently digging: Jenny Lewis, Lisa Hannigan, Sondre Lechre, St. Vincent, Angus & Julia Stone, Beirut, Castledoor, Chairlift, Andrew Bird, Greg Laswell, Kira Willey, Landon Pigg, Lenka, M.I.A., Mirah, Supergrass, MGMT, The Bird and the Bee, The Boy Least Likely To, and about a million others. If you know of anyone else that I must listen to, please let me know!
08) Plan more dates with Tyler (picnic in the park, anyone?): Meh...I've kinda-sorta been good at this and kinda-sorta not. It's easy to get into a routine of eat dinner/watch TV/go to bed/repeat. But we do have a date planned for this Saturday night (Hatch Shell+ The Temptations +picnic dinner = romance).
09) Read every book for Book Club: Yikes. Another one I'd like to take back. I've finished a few, skimmed a few, and didn't even bother to buy a few. I give myself a C+.
and most importantly...
10) Take care of myself (physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, all-ally): I'm very proud that I have totally rocked when it comes to this resolution! The biggest part of this was finally taking care of my body (which, in turn, takes care of my mind and spirit). Through Weight Watchers and working out, I've taken off 30 pounds over the last six months. It hasn't always been easy (or tasty), but all in all, I feel like a much healthier (and happier) person. Go me!
