Happy 2009!

Well another year finished and a New Year starting.

Was not particularly happy with 2008 but can chalk it up to life lessons and personal growth.

Looking forward to starting fresh - a chance to make some changes......Do have a few hurdles to jump through with regards to my Mom's health next week and not looking forward to a negative outcome, but if it is....will have to deal with it then.

Spent the night north with the family and a low key New Years - even if we did go to bed @ 3am.

Mom-in-law made home made perogies for our first dinner of 09! Yummy - I was a good girl and only had four - was hard to resist going back for more - the butter an onions are my favorite.

Chris brought up his favorite girl for the weekend and took her for her first snowmobile ride - came back with red cheeks and cold toes but thinking she enjoyed herself!!

All last week hubs and middle son spent ever night out in the garage working on his snowmobile. It is all done and wow does it zip along.

So far for 09 I have been tired - went to bed @ 3am - up at 10 and look at me - 7pm and cant keep my eyes open..... Yikes

New years resolutions

Well after some pretty serious thoughts I have put my new years resolutions in black and white.

For prosperity this is what I just wrote to my best friend:

• I am going to organize my scrapbooking stuff and actually start scrapping again. I am going to tidy up the basement and carve a space out for me. I am hoping to get ten years of photos done in 2009. I doubt we will get to the basement reno till late summer / early fall so should be able to get a good chunk of it done.
• Major to-do is to take better care of myself – get my haircut ever 8 weeks – get my eye brows done – avoid the grey skunk line in my hair.
• Going to quit smoking – got the Zyban prescription last week at the drs – thinking of January 31st as my quit date.
• Going to start eating heather – ordered a book online yesterday - after tons and tons of research going to try this http://www.eatcleandiet.com not so much a diet as it is just healthy eating and I am so far from where I should be I am hoping this will help.
• Going to actually start gong to the gym faithfully again – I am hoping to drop 30lbs in 2009.
• Going to start contributing more to my blog and keeping track of my progress
• Going to start saving for my yeah me vacation where I will finally wear a bathing suite and not be embarrassed – thinking the big trip will be next year between xmas and new years……
  
  I think that’s about it………..pretty big list though……
