Manifesto 2013

I am torn about making New Years resolutions... I am always well meaning in making them, but then somehow they drift into the obis of everyday life. (Now having said that I did make it to around July before I gave up on/lost my cloth shopping bags in 2012.)  But as in past years I will make some resolutions...

So for 2013...

I resolve to find more time for myself by...

• Finishing at least 3 large crafting projects
• Reading one book a month
• Exercising 30 minutes a day
• Blogging at least once a month
• Driving the 911 at least once a month

 I resolve to spend more time with Miles by...

• Playing a game of his choosing at least 20 minutes a day.  
• Taking him to something cultural at least once a month
• Going to the zoo at least 6 times this year

I resolve to spend more quality time with Chris by...

• Planning a family vacation to somewhere relaxing and fun
•  Going on a date at least once a month
• Meeting for lunch at least once a week
• ......

I resolve to keep up my good work at leading a healthier life style by...

• Only eating out with Chris
• Not eating white foods
• Only eating dessert out
• Drinking 8 glasses of water daily
• Not eating foods I can't pronounce the ingredients to
• Eating something green everyday (M&M's don't count)
• Working out 30 minutes a day
• Spending some time outside everyday

I resolve to add more whimsy to my life by...

• Trying something new at least once a month
• Having friends over more often/laughing more
• Instituting Fancy Plate Friday (ie. Using the Queens China every Friday we eat at home.) 
• Trying not to plan so much... 
• ..................................................  (If I plan all the ways to be whimsical I won't be...)  

So I know it's a long list, but once I start I have a hard time stopping... I didn't even get to financial resolutions... I think I'll just put that under budget.
