2009 Resolutions

I think my mantra for 2009 will be simple living. Now this doesn't mean quitting my job and living in a treehouse. It is more about making positive changes in my life.

1. Be healthier. I kind of started this in 2008 but it has been up and down all over the place. Old habits die hard.

2. Actually save money now that I make money. This is directly related to the healthy living thing.

3. Be green. I am green in lots of ways but I have become really lazy about recycling and taking my re-usable bags with me to the store, so I need to be diligent about those things and think about what I am purchasing which ties back into 1 and 2.

4. De-stash! I have a lot of yarn. Not near as much as most people but I have more than I have had in awhile and I need to use it up. There is a lot of scrap yarn that could become veteran's scarves or hats for Dulaan, etc.

5. Buy a couch. Sunshine is totally right about this one. I need one. Even just a little one. Ideally it would be a loveseat with a pull-out bed.

6. Take my lunch to work practically every day. This would save me $5-7 a day and it would be a lot healthier.

I think those are nice manageable goals/resolutions. We will see how well I follow these, I think 2009 will (hopefully) start off better than 2008 did.
