Question of the Week - Resolutions

First: Go Redskins!! We are in the playoffs! And I couldn't imagine a better way to get in than to beat the Cowboys! Now, on today's regularly scheduled post...

Happy New Year's Eve! I hope everyone is planning a night of fun and drinking. If I'm up at midnight tonight, it will purely be because the Pumpkin has woken both Londo and I. My plans for tonight include maybe having a whole glass of wine and going to bed by 10:00. My wish for New Year's Day is to be able to sleep straight until 5:00! It's a lofty wish, but every now and then it happens.

Are you making any New Year's Resolutions? If so, what are they?

Mine are:
1. To succeed in the To Be Read Challenge of 2008 (check out my book list on the side of my blog and here).
2. To stop using curse words in front of the baby, since she'll start to understand and maybe repeat them this year. Yikes.
3. To start working out again. Even if it's just getting back into my yoga DVDs. I need to find time for something. I would especially appreciate it if the Pumpkin slept all night and until about 7:00 or so, so I could get up early and work out before work since my ideal workout time is morning.
4. Do things earlier. Especially at work. I'm really bad for procrastinating, but then I get all stressed when I end up doing everything last minute. Let's see if I can be better this year.

Have fun tonight, kids!

I had forgotten my fourth resolution, so I've added it now!

Resolutions aren't my style, so I don't bother to do them. But I hope you get your New Year's wish and get 7 straight hours of sleep!

Happy New Year!

1. when I make up a new dish, I will write it down immediately in my other blog. That way hubby doesn't have to be satisfied with only ever having a dish once.
2. Stop breastfeeding. I figure this one will happen pretty easily.
I made my goals pretty acheivable.

1. Start going to yoga again ... or at least do some other form of exercise besides taking Monkey up and down our stairs.
2. Stop cursing or come up with suitable alternatives that give you same release as the real curse word. For instance, SH*T would be SNAP. I'm guessing for a while it will be coming out more like SCHNAP!
3. Find a "parent's helper" or the like so I can work during the daytime hours and not spend all night working.
4. IF I succeed with #3, then I'll be trying to stop or diminish my caffiene habit.

That should do it! Good luck with your resolutions everyone!

Hey, we're supposed to go to church. I am encouraging myself to go, because I always feel better when I do, but I can imagine myself going to bed and sleeping.

I have yet to decided which book I will kick off the TBR Challenge. The only one I have on hand is The Husband, by Dean Koontz, so it's probably where I will start.

Wishing you a blessed New Year!

Peace

I don't typically make resolutions, but I have to do something about the exercise/diet issue. Looking at the pictures from Boog's birthday party I still look pregnant. Um, it's been a year, this is getting out of hand. It's just so hard working and everything else to make time for it. Especially when I typically don't enjoy exercise. Ugh, I hear you on #3.

I too have no intentions of staying up for midnight. Sad thing is last year we did. I was still in the hospital with my 2 day old Boog in the nursery so I had that luxury.

Okay, I'm way behind on my commenting - but number 2? Yeah, that's my one and only resolution. When my computer is up and running again, I have a whole post planned about this.

Learning I Have Hypertension

This past winter, I discovered I have developed high blood pressure. This came as a surprise for me, since I generally had always had blood ...
