HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011


happy new year ... remember drinking & driving don't mix ... my goals for the new year include, but not limited to, the following:

  • live a simple more meaningful life
  • buy only the things i need - fyi (i don't need anything ... lol)
  • give freely - volunteer, donate, recycle, etc.,
  • exercise - run 1-mile w/o walking
  • eat healthier
  • read 10 books
  • avoid gossiping - it's so tempting, but i will try really hard
  • surround myself with positive, motivated, & progressive thinking people
  • save my disposable income - stop frivolous spending
  • become a mom ... my husband would make a great father
