And cheers to another kicking year!!!

Ahh, new years. The time for resolutions, bettering yourself and living life to the fullest. I began 2011 with a lovely bang (with a brand new shiny rock on my finger) and ended it with a lovely bang (five shots of tequila and a few rounds of grey goose), so if you think about, there's really no need for life fulfilling here. But, in the spirit of tradition, I have decided to make up a few goals, which I figure I might as well post on here just so I could have it in writing.


GOALS FOR 2012

1. Go to the gym at least 2 times a week. Pretty doable and typical, yet still about 200% better than the amount of workouts I commited to last year.

2. Cook from a cookbook at least twice a week. Originally this was going to be to cook more complicated items but more sister said that was too vague so I changed it to this, to which she proceeded to complain that l made the same resolution two years ago and nothing came of it. To which I told her to shut up.

3. Keep the house clean. Seemingly simple but surprisingly difficult for the husband and I.

4. (And this one I just thought of now) Always have a book to read and finish the book! This does not include cookbooks, which I have no problem reading. These are novels - of any sort. I used to be a literary snob and only stuck to the classics (American, Victorian, Canadian - it didn't matter as long as they were tried and true). Now, after 6 years of post-secondary education and four years of working as an educator, it seems as if the only books I could enjoy are cookbooks and chicklit. So that is what I'm going to start with: chicklit. I just finished Something Borrowed so I quickly have to find something easy to ready before I lose my momentum.

Oh, and I guess another resolution could be to post up a recipe on this food blog of mine. I have all my pictures in order, now I just need to upload them. :)

HAPPY 2012!!!!
