New Year's Resolutions 2012
Lose 15 pounds.
I know very original. I actually want to lose more, but I think this is a good start. It's a pretty reasonable goal. I am going to work out at least three times a week (preferably 4) and eat less food. What an original plan, huh?
Get my mile under 10 minutes regularly.
This will just involve more and more running. CONSISTENTLY. I was easily winded during today's run, but it was fun. I may need to C25K again.
Get Mac to lose some weight.
I weighed Mac today. He weighs 35 pounds! When I got a Corgi, I knew they had problems with weight, and I always told myself he wouldn't have that problem. And now he is at least 8 pounds overweight. Kind of the same plan for him; I already switched him to weight control food and he needs to get a real walk every day.
Switch my finances to some new money management system
Well, that was easy, Mint.com and datcu.org now play nice! Merry Christmas to me!
Learn to sew/quilt something
It's less ambitious than last year, but the goals are more concrete.

Yo world! Look at me now!! |

Short reviews of five star books from 2011
One of my favorites, a reread. I must be a little sick. I am glad I got to share this with book club.
I actually didn't know this was a self-help book when I got it. Hardwick is so positive and entertaining, he makes you feel like you can do anything.
This year has been a great year for comedians writing memoirs. This book makes you want to go shopping with the author, or have a beer. Her tips for men's fashion is spot on.
A nice portrait of depression.
I really like the story of this, even though my friends gave me a hard time for liking it. However the art is pretty bad.
My first Irving, definitely not my last. I was lost in this world.
I didn't think it was possible, but somehow I love Tina Fey more now. This book made me laugh out loud several times and I really loved the theme of women supporting one another.
My favorite book this year. This book is not funny, but it is fun. The world has devolved into a world where everyone spends all their time online. This book is part mystery, part action and a small part love story. (I actually really hope this gets made into a movie, I know they have already sold the rights.)
