New Year's Resolutions

I usually don't make any New Year's resolutions because I can never seem to follow through with them, but this year, I have quite a lengthy list of goals that I would like to accomplish within the next year. I like calling them "goals" rather than "New Year's resolutions" because to me, "goals'" implies that I have the whole year to accomplish them. This way, I won't feel any pressure if I don't start following through with them right on January 1st or even within the month of January. I also like having lots of goals because I can put them all in a big list and get to check them off when I'm done...I love doing that :)

My goals for 2011:

• Buy a new camera and learn more about all that is photography.
• Take a photography class.
• Do a better job at cleaning up after myself.
• Keep a cleaner house.
• Be more organized at work and at home.
• Stop procrastinating.
• Cook meals at least 3-4 times a week.
• Read more books.
• Work on my hoarding tendencies.
• Clean out my closet...again (see previous bullet point).
• Finally make an album of our wedding pictures.
• Finally have my wedding dress cleaned.
• Take more walks/run with my husband when the weather gets nicer.
• Go to the gym with my husband when the weather is not so nice.
• Be a better listener.
• Spend more quality time with my husband at night during the week.
• Call/email my parents more.
• Save money.
• Stick to a budget when it comes to clothing.
• Only buy clothes that I absolutely love.
• Stop the impulse buys.
• Take more weekend trips.
• Take a summer vacation.
• Do a better job at sharing the DVR space (silly, but it's a problem for me).
• Make better use of my Netflix subscription.

Those are my goals for 2011...what are you hoping to accomplish in 2011?

Have a happy and safe New Year and I'll see you in 2011!
