the resolution list.

as promised, my resolution list is here.  it is not a long list, but it's an important list and i'm not making these lightly.  i want to make myself as accountable to these as humanly possible (so if you have any ideas afterward that would help, drop me a comment).  let's get this party started.

1. chub reduction.  with my best friend's wedding sneaking up on me quick, i have to get motivated again to lose the chub.  i will start counting points again.  i will keep doing the shred (which by the way, is KILLER).  oh, and i've joined 'race to a waist' again.  this really helped me stay in check (and helped me to lose nearly 10 pounds before the end of 2008).  i do have specific goals for this, but i won't get into all that craziness here.  your welcome.
2. stepping it up a notch with my photography.  i really have been learning a lot in karen's class.  i am so grateful for getting into it.  however, i don't want to just document my everyday life, i want to actually get a business going.  i know this takes a lot of work, but i'm ready for that next step.  i've already been doing some business, but i think i want to put myself out there more.  i think i have my homework cut out for me, but i'm ready. 
3. family movie nights.  i love what heather does with her family.  if we could do these once a month, it would totally be awesome.  i want to have more fun family traditions, and not just during the holidays - for everyday life.
4. birthdays.  every single year, i forget someone's birthday and i just want to kick myself.  i just say to myself 'self, you'll remember next year'.  right.  so, i have a birthday calendar and i'm hoping with my parent's help, i can get them all listed and remember each one by sending the birthday boy/girl a card.  sounds simple enough huh?  we'll see. 

that's it.  there are a lot of things i want to get done in 2009, but these top the list.  it feels good to write them out and i'm excited that today is the first day to get things started.  maybe i'll dig that birthday calendar out today.  :)

happy 2009 to all of you!

Great list Jenny! I didn't make a list, I suck at keeping my resolutions! I think my biggest is to lose weight and have more patience! Good luck and be strong!

good luck with the resolutions. I know your photography can take off, you shoot great photos.

you go girl!
i know you can do it... just have to stick to it! hard part, right?

accountability is huge! and as for any advice...find someone who you can count on, who won't let you slip one bit!

our lists could almost be the same. i really like the idea of family nights, we've done those in the past but it looks like heather makes them extra special! can't wait to read more about that!

be sure to check out my word for 2009!

happy new year!
