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
