I am not much of a resolution type of gal. I'm pretty anal, organized, get-it-done now, etc. I never make 'resolutions' because, for all of my organization, I tend to think of a resolution as more of a guideline. Sort of like a rule that is begging to be broken. Still, I totally dig this time of year because I (for as long as I can remember) have made "To Do" lists for each new year. We're usually talking about projects, remodels, etc. For example, last year was gutting the 'master cave'...er, bathroom and adding a window to the living room. This year, I want to do the same, but I've also added some new things to my list.
1. REMODEL THE KITCHEN - gutted and remodeled. It's atrocious and drawers are off their 50+ year old rollers and the cabinet doors no longer align and close right. DRIVING ME CRAZY!! TO DO THING #1!
2. Finish the mudroom. This shouldn't take too much $$ or elbow grease. Well, other than replacing the flooring...which will come with #1.
3. Invite more people over for dinner. Which would mean...
4. Cook more meals at home.
5. I will start some time of regular exercise regiment. I am not concerned about weight which I have gained over the years..but I'm still probably underweight for my height. I am VERY concerned about my health, loss of muscle tone, and the fact that the only (haha--only) exercise I get involves 3 other people in this house.
6.Take a few short road trips with the kids.
7. Keep in BETTER (meaning more frequent) touch with all of the old people in my life.
8. Make Mr. GP buy me flowers more often.
9. Get estimates for master suite addition (hopefully for '08), but I want the ball rolling this year.
10. A family portrait of all 5 of us. Together. With no lude gestures, awkward expressions, threatening glances or silly giggles involved.
