Resolutions

Everybody has been working on their resolutions and I have a couple of my own that I want to put out into the ether to gain a little support from the powers that be. So here are the few of the things that I want to accomplish in the year 2009: 
  • Get healthy, including exercising more and losing weight (yeah, everybody says this)
  • Watch less television
  • Read and quilt more
  • Finish my Six Sigma Certification
  • Work on my PMP Certification
  • Avoid using my credit cards and make purchases with only what I have on hand, and this includes actually tracking my spending
  • Be more spontaneous
  • Write more
  • Lead a more simple life
  • Love more, laugh more, dance more
That should be easy enough, huh?

Welcome to 2009!!

I hope that everybody has had a great holiday season. Here is a recap of what I have been doing over the past couple of weeks: 
  • Spent a couple of days with the Queen and King and Puppies. Had a great time just relaxing with those guys. I was lucky to have the King cook for me and it was yummy!
  • Went to the folks house and hung out with Mom and Dad. 
  • Read three books (The Boleyn Inheritance, Practical Demon-Keeping, and Interred with Their Bones). 
  • Went to the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame. Now I have adopted a cowgirl philosophy to rope a great life. 
  • Spent time with my niece and nephew, who are growing up WAY to fast. 
  • Lost the father of a very good friend. And my thoughts and prayers are with her family. 
  • Saw all the beautiful stuff that my mom and dad are working on (hand-dyed/painted fabrics/quilts and woodwork, respectively). 
  • Started my pro and con lists to staying in California vs. moving back to Texas. 
I know, not that exciting for two weeks of vacation. But it has been a really perfect time for me. I'm relaxed and ready to go back to the office with a new attitude.
