Happy 2012!

In 2007, I made my first ever New Year's Resolution.  I never got the point of resolutions because, frankly, I knew I wouldn't follow through on half of what I would resolve to do and it seemed that's what everyone else did too.  While at a new years eve party in 2007, my friend Michele had everyone write down their resolutions and she sealed them in a box.  I remember one of my resolutions was to marry Bill in 2008 - which I did!  I don't even remember what the rest of them were, so I can't even tell you if I followed through or not! 

I haven't made any for the last couple of years...actually, I don't think I've made any since that first year.  I think about doing things in the year to come every year, but I don't list them or even keep track for that matter.  Well.....things need to change!  :)

I'm still not going to make "resolutions", more like a "bucket list" for this year.  That's the same thing you say?  No it's not.  Cause I said so!  :)  I think a bucket list for the year sounds less intimidating!  My biggest goal is the one that a ton of people have.  You'd never guess it if I didn't tell you.  haha!  In 2012, I will lose weight!  In 2011, I realized that I was capable of doing it.  I had never really tried before and now that I have seen that it is within my reach, I'm ready.  Other items on my bucket list include - learning to use the manual settings on my camera like they are meant to be used, organizing my house better, organizing the 20,000+ pictures that I have on computers and hard drives (gahhh), writing on my blogs at least twice a week, and adopting a baby (even though I have no control over this one, I'm hopeful)! Sounds like a well rounded list to me!

Who really knows what will happen, but as of Jan 2, 2012 I have good intentions!  So, if I follow through, you will hear from me in a couple days!  What's on your bucket list?  Happy New Year to you!!
