New year, new me?

Well, no. I'm pretty pleased with my life so far, but it is traditional to make some resolutions at this time of year, so here I go.

1. Stop procrastinating! For example, publish New Year's post before the month is half over.

2. Get hobbies. Besides reading and watching the telly. Not that those are bad hobbies. I really like both of them! But maybe I should diversify. I could start playing my cello more. I could sew beautiful dresses with all of my patterns that I have. I could learn Spanish. Gardening. Write a novel. This could be the year I finally learn how to swim! I'll never know unless I start getting more hobbies.

3. Become more stretchy. I can touch my toes (impressive, no?), but this year I could learn to do the splits! Probably not (if that was going to happen, it would have happened already).

4. Read all my church assignments during the week so I know what's going on in RS and Sunday School. I have this goal every year, and every year it seems like I mess it up. But this is my year! I can feel it!

5. Cook more. I'd like to start making actual meals at least twice a week. I eat a lot of sandwiches. And I love sandwiches, but there should be more to life than just sandwiches!

6. Be more ambitious. Seriously, only 4 real goals, and I'm already feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm not sure how to accomplish this one, but I'll do it!

7. Last but not least, use fewer exclamation points. I seem ridiculously enthusiastic about some of these things.

What about you? Any good resolutions this year?
