{Happy 2012}

I wish all of you an exciting New Year---full of excellent health, fun, great relationships and all the wealth that you can possibly imagine!

9 round fruits and black eyed pea (thanks Picadilly) served on New Years---Good luck guaranteed for us. LOL!

At new year's eve, I was really trying my best to come up with a new year's resolution list...I didn't want to kick off the year "goal less". It hit me that I didnt want to come up with just the typical loose weight goal. I wanted some meaninful goals for me---specific goals to be exact. They say you are more succesful when you define it clearly.

• I've fallen back in love with running in 2011 and have actually done a good job logging some miles. My goal in 2011 is to do 12 months of racing and run a sub 30 5K. I don't care if it's 29:59 :) I want that "2" in there.


• Eat meat only once a day. I noticed that I've been eating so much meat. I want to really learn to cook more veggies for us.


• Pray more, go to church more and get the kids involved.


• We did great with this last year and I want to continue this--sign up the kids for sports classes.


• Spend more one on one time with Ed.


• Save more and stay within budget. We did well with budgeting last year and I want to challenge us again this year.


• Be kind and compliment people. I would admire a coworker, stranger, friend or family member but never really say it to them. I want to make an effort to be complimentary of people's successes and talents.


• Work harder and play harder!

I'm optimistic that I will be successful with these goals!
