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.
