Soooo, New Year, huh?

In general this means that I need to make some resolutions since I'm by no means exactly where I'd like to be in life.  Plus I kind of like the shiny newness of resolutions that I may or may not be able to keep.  It makes me feel like there's hope in my life.  So, here goes with the 2010 version.  A few days late, but I'm nothing if not a procrastinator.

1.  I will work on being more patient and less judgmental of people.  This be a big one for me.  Really, I'm not half as much better than most people than I like to pretend I am sooooooo maybe I shouldn't act like it.

2.  I will eat healthier and generally be healthier.  I'd be lying if I said this had nothing to do with weight (as cliche as that is on the resolution list) but it also has to do with the fact that since I've gained so much weight my knee and my heart always hurt.  It makes me worried about my mortality.  I want nothing more than to be around to see my kids grow up into wonderful little hellions that will (hopefully) set the world on fire around them.  Oh, and that whole things where my boobs are even with my stomach, so not hot.

3.  I will figure out what the fuck I need to do to get my ass back in school.  Self explanatory.  I'm 30.  My life is probably about half over.  I'd like to have something to show for it when I go.

4.  I will write more.  Everything from updating this blog more often, to writing poetry (that I never like overwhelmingly, but other people seem to enjoy so maybe I'm being too self critical) to possibly starting that novel I've been meaning to write for years.  I think 30 is a good time to write a novel.  I've had the life experiences to write something that will ring true and will hopefully matter.

5.  I will show the ones I love how much I care more.  Quality time with the kids.  Hugs and kisses.  More sex with the boyfriend.  More cuddle and downtime with the boyfriend.  Not letting my work make me so cranky I take it out on everyone.  Etc, etc...  Because they deserve it and because the people I love are what make this whole mortal coil worth all the bs and headaches.  :)
