New Year, New Things

Okay, so it's been 2 months since I've posted anything. It's 2009. I am not making any real "resolutions" for the new year, but I do have some things I want to accomplish this year. Maybe if write it here, I'll be a little more diligent about it.

1) Get organized and keep the house neater. I'm trying, but sometimes I just get into a funk. I absolutely hate doing laundry, and right now that's my biggest crutch. Loren is trying to help me get the kitchen better organized, so hopefully I can get everything in the kitchen running smoother.

2) Take better care of myself. Let's face it. I'm so very out of shape. I feel "old" both mentally and physically. I saw something on tv the other day that said that the best way to improve your mental health and just your overall ability to mentally handle everyday things is to keep your physical health intact. I'm not so good in that department anymore. I might join the gym if I get a job. Which leads me to...

3) Get a job. We can survive with what we have now, but we're going nowhere fast. Me getting a job will give us that much-needed push to get better financially. My friend suggested delivering papers. I'm usually still awake at 1:00am (it's 1:33am as I right this, by the way...), so I could easily go out there, pick up my papers, roll them, and have them done by the time I actually go to sleep most nights. I'm also working on setting up a website to sell my crafts with another friend of mine, but I know that won't be something we could actually depend on to live. It's just something to do to get rid of all these crafts that I'm making that I don't really have any use for but need something to do and that keep piling up all over everywhere.

Um, I'm sure there's more, but I got sidetracked. Oh well. Here's to a new year!
