It's the end of 2009 (where has the year gone?) and time for a final report on my New Year's Resolutions. Plus new ones for 2010 in my next post!

2009

1) For Matt and I to travel somewhere via airplane.

Well, we did not accomplish this in 2009, but we are heading to Florida in 2010! Hello Mickey Mouse!

2) To really get healthy.

This will always be an ongoing battle I think. I still go to my 3-nights a week exercise class (and have recruited two friends) plus there are regular dog walks, but I know I can do more.

3) To not shop as often.

Ha! Not sure why I made this resolution, because it's one of my greatest joys in life. You know besides my family and friends, there's the way a new pair of jeans makes you feel or how you find the perfect gift for someone. :-)

4) To eat more meals at home.

We do really well with this one. I started planning our weekly meals and preparing them on Sunday then stashing some in the freezer. It has helped me stay organized and Matt is a good influence to stay home.

5) To really clean out the house and basement and hold a garage sale in May.

Well I have donated a crapload of things to Junior League this year and I keep finding more things to donate! Ay yi yi! My mom and I decided to not hold a garage sale, because they are too much work so we are big on donating items. Yay for tax write offs! The basement is also coming along...anyone want to buy some drums!?
