A Look Forward to 2009

So long 2008, Hello 2009! The tree is down, decorations that adorned the house are safely packed away. It's goodbye 2008 holiday season and hello 2009.

SOooooooo, what's your plans? I have a few and I think or at least hope, they are the things that should be on ones high list of priorities. First is trying to be a better Mom and Wife. Even those that have this task nearly mastered, im sure could find more ways to step up to the next level.

2nd, on my list is to spend more time with my friends. As I get older, i realize just how important these relationships contribute to everday happiness.

3rd, I'd really like to get serious about sewing. Ya I sew, I havent really covered that area in this blog, but beware, it's coming.

4th, To keep up with this blog and try to be a source to help people understand that living on a shoestring budget can be fun, as well friendly to finances.

5th, Spend a little less time online playing games and do things that matter in life.

6th, Explore my new relationship with the work force and possibly, finally at 40 years old find something to do in life that I enjoy waking up and look forward to "work".

7th, Exercise, exercise, exercise. I guess we could also label this as being a little more health conscious in other areas such as food and such.

8th, Find time that I can spend alone that truly enhance my character and personify who and what i am.

9th, Spend far less time worrying about things that I have no control over.

10th, welll ummmmmmm, right off the top of my head, i cant think of the 10th goal. I guess we can let that be the big surprise for another day.

And there I laid out my life for 2009. I hope that all who have a plan for the New Year, reach high for those goals and accomplish them.

Stay tuned for tomorrows post. Im going to post how I stretched the ham that we cooked for Christmas eve dinner into 4 different days of feasting. ;)
