New Year Resolutions

I know that New Year Resolutions are suppose to be made at the "new year" but I was traveling.  I was thinking of them.  And I was composing -- in my head.  This year I have decided to make a whole list.  Maybe this way I will be able to accomplish some of them.  So here is the list...

1.  Lose 123 50 pounds.  The diet has started today but that is a separate post.
2.  Read at least 1 book a month.  At least one of them must be a self help book but not all can be self help.
3.  Write the next great American novel a short story.
4.  Find a new job.
5.  Move.
6.  Buy my first home.
7.  Pay off all credit cards FIA credit card.
8.  Make at least one pair of earrings a week.
9.  Get at least 8 hours of sleep at least 4 times per week.  That shouldn't be too difficult -- only need to be to bed by 11:30pm.
10. Blog at least 15 times per month.
11.  Get child enrolled in a sport.
12.  Get involved with a charity.
13.  Refinish the new kitchen table.
14.  Enroll in a creative class -- writing, jewelry making, pottery...
15.  Start a 529 account.
16.  Clean the house once a month (yes, I know that grosses some people out).
17.  Eat out no more then 2 times per month.
18.  Call my friends and family more often -- rely on the internet less.
19.  Start training for the Boston Marathon.  I know this seems out of the blue for most but it has been a long term dream of mine.
20.  Fold and put away the laundry within 24 hours of washing it each week.
21.  Buy a new camera and take more photos of Ladybug.  Mine has officially died now.
22.  Pay all bills on time.
23.  Become caffeine free.

Okay.  That's it.  With such a long and diverse list there is a real possibility that I can be successful in something.  Wish me luck.  I will update you every month on my success (or failures).
