Happy New Year

I know better than anyone that 99% of the time, New Year Resolutions are a complete waste of time. Every year, I make resolutions, and every year I

break them. I understand that a new year is not a blank slate. It doesn't wipe away bad habits or bad decisions. You have to change your behavior to change your results.

BUT GUESS WHAT?!?!

I am making some New Year Resolutions! This is going to be the year I do the same thing I do every year really stick to them. So to help me stick to them, I am going to put them in writing. Out here. On the web. For all of you to see and hold me to them.

1. Get Healthy. This is not about losing weight. This is about living healthy so that I can be a good example for my kids (and not die of a heart attack or something before I get a chance to go broke paying for them to skip classes in college). I am going to stop stuffing crap in my mouth eat better and get off the couch work out more.

2. Save Money. This is my husband's personal favorite. He REALLY wants me to stop spending his money. What can I say, I like STUFF! I am going to do a better job.

3. Blog I love to write. I'm not too bad at it. Funny stuff happens to me all the time. I am going to write about it. You are going to read about it. And like it.

So there they are. These are my resolutions. There are many other things that I want to accomplish this year, but those three are things that are 100% within my control. If I don't do them, I have no one to blame but myself.
