We didn't really do anything special for New Years. Just hung out at home and watched the Dick Clark special. I guess that is how you tell that you are getting old. Well, that and the fact I needed a shot of espresso to stay awake. LOL!
This is the first year that I am actually setting goals for the year. When we were little we were prompted to make resolutions, which I have never met anyone to meet their resolutions and most people are disappointed by the end of January. That is why the first thing that went in my mouth on January 1st was a leftover Christmas cookie. I wanted to make sure I started the year off with no false obligations or hopes. Now I can't be disappointed.
I have set a goal to lose this extra weight. It is a very manageable goal and I also placed mini goals throughout the year to help me get there. I could post a beginning picture, but I wouldn't want to break the monitor or someone to alert the local marine mammal stranding network because you thought you saw a beached whale. Ha! Seriously - this is the year we should all grab hold and take charge of our health. I even took it upon myself to fire that money hogging doctor - my endocrinologist.
I also want to get into digital scrapbooking. I am pathetically behind on the girls scrapbooks and I think that the digital process might help me get them up to date. Which just so happens to be my goal. By next year these 2 princesses should have up to date scrapbooks.
In addition to these I want to take some sewing classes and a few more photography ones. I am excited about making some time for myself and I think bettering myself in these areas is a great way to do it.
Welcome to 2009. I hope that everyone's new year is filled with exciting things. And go ahead and scrap those resolutions, just make an achievable goal or two. Happy New Year!

Happy New Years!! Looks like you guys had an amazing Christmas!! We were going to get Ella a kitchen for Christmas, but I wasn't sure how she'd do with it, so we're waiting for her birthday.
In my resolutions/goals for the year I too want to take a sewing & photography class. I think I found a pretty cool photography class that I will take in March... now to find that sewing class.
