ok, here are a few of my resolutions:

*quit smoking. yes, as of last night, ladies and gentlemen, i have not had a cigarette! now, by tomorrow, i'll be a major b!tch... but hey, that's tomorrow!

*to eat healthier. eat less of the fast food and frozen dinners (it's so easy to pop one in the micro at work!) and be more responsible about making wholesome meals. i kinda like the idea of organic foods, but i think i'll miss cheetos too much! haha!

*to read more. whether it's picking up a newspaper (and actually reading it!) whenever i'm in starbucks, or if i'm curled up on the coach reading a novel... i want to get back into reading for leisure.

*to finally organize the black hole that i call a room! i can make excuses all day long about why i don't have a clean room - but i do need to grow up and realize that having a clean, organized room is a mature, adult thing to have! plus, i hate not being able to find the match to my shoes! this just shows how bad it really is... my mom's friend bought me a really nice (and expensive) closet organizer for christmas... yeah, that's bad.

*to save some money and invest it. i always wanted to have money invested... i don't know how to do all of it, but hey, that's what financial planners are for!

*to fix up the house for my mom. our house isn't in bad shape - it's just needing a few touch ups.

*to find something new that i like to do. something that i've never done before, and actually really enjoy it. this will be a fun task! (what haven't i done???......)

anyways, there's TONS of other things i'd like to accomplish this year, but i don't have enough time to write them all!

well, i hope that you all have a healthy, prosperous and happy new year.
