Happy New Year!

This is what New Year's looked like at our house on our circa 1980's wall oven! Reminds me of the count down clock from the hatch on the TV show LOST. Anyway, we didn't really do anything special for the new year holiday. Dan and I layed low and made pina coladas and watched the ball drop with Dick Clark. Hayden and I are fighting a cold and didn't really feel up to much. In fact, I stayed home from the Christmas gathering Saturday with Dan's extended family (on his mom's side) due to this cold/cough.

Anyone still making those New Year's Resolutions? I have some goals for the new year:
1. Exercise more...I got a jump start on this one today when I visited the brand spankin' new gym that finally opened up in Sandy. It is amazing!!! I used the elliptical and gazed out the window at the trees for 30 minutes...they haven't hooked up the TVs yet, but the view was so nice, even in the rain. Tomorrow the juice bar and coffee shop will open up and I can't wait to see what they offer. There is also a salon within the club, which brings me to goal #2.

2. Get a hair style (and no, a pony tail doesn't count.) I will admit that I am most comfortable in a pony tail, but it leaves a lot to be desired in the cute department.

3. Scrapbook more. I got a head start on this tonight and already posted it to my Paper Capers blog.

4. Keep the Master bedroom and bathroom clutter free. Wow, this is going to be a hard one for me. Right now it is clean, but I will need to keep on top of it, cause it seems to be the dumping ground for all sorts of things.

5. Read my Bible. This is always something I want to do more of.

6. Spend more quality time with the kids...doing what they want to do. Yikes! I love coming up with projects for them, but I also need to balance that with activities they choose.

7. Home improvement projects. I would love to paint the bathrooms and update the lighting and faucets this next year.

8. Loose weight. Loose 15 more pounds by the end of March and 10-15 more before we open the swimming pool up again this summer.

9. Spend more time having fun with friends. Since we've moved I haven't seen much of my friends and I really miss my girl time.

10. Plan more date nights with Dan. We seem to go for long periods of time where we don't do anything just the two of us. I want to make it a regularly scheduled priority.

There you have it, my goals. Well, school starts up again tomorrow and I better get to bed so I can wake up and get everyone to school on time.
