A New Year & New Resolutions

Every year I resolve not to make any new resolutions.  Why bother... they usually end up getting thrown by the wayside by the second or third week of January anyway.  But every year I end up making some sort of resolution, even if it's only to myself.  And this year is no different.  I told myself that I wasn't going to make any resolutions, but here I am... about to make a few, and not even just to myself, but to the entire interwebz.

So... what are these resolutions I speak of?  I'm glad you asked!  Here they are, in no particular order.

1. I resolve to blog more.  I am going to get over my self-consciousness and shyness and post more often about any and all of the random thoughts going through my head.  Someone out there may find it interesting or funny and if not, at least I'll have this to look back on one day and show Piper how crazy her mommy really is.
2. I resolve to get in shape.  They say it takes just as long to take off the weight as it did to put it on.  Well, Piper has now been an outside baby for longer than she was an inside baby (she turned 39 weeks on Dec. 31st, which is the same number of weeks I was pregnant when she was born).  And all the weight is not off.  It's time to stop making excuses, give in to Jillian Michaels (workout guru from The Biggest Loser, for those of you who don't know who she is), and rid myself of these remaining 10 lbs.  It won't be easy, it probably won't be fun, but it's got to be done.  And now that I've confessed the resolutions publicly, I can't change my mind or give up.
3. I resolve to get more organized.  I have been longingly staring at my kitchen and my basement (okay, the entire house, really) and dreaming of how I could reorganize them.  This one won't be easy either, but it will probably be fun.  I'm one of those weirdos who likes organizing and cleaning.  It's cathartic.

They say all good things come in 3's, so I think 3 resolutions is a good place to stop.  We don't want to go overboard now.  Happy New Year everyone!
