the time when most of us think of what our new year's resolutions are going to be. most of my new ones will actually be old ones that i didn't stick to from 2005. i think i only completed one. better than previous years though. ;)
2005 resolutions
1. learn to play the guitar.
(this one will have to be carried over. i want to learn how to play so badly. i just love the guitar. it's acoustic, but what better way to learn. spend way too much time on the computer though...will have to cut that out)
2. learn to speak & write french.
(i'm actually doing pretty good on this one, probably cause i use the computer to learn. about.com is a great place if you want to learn a language. they have alot of lessons to help you. my dad keeps bitching at me about this one though, saying i should learn spanish. it will help me in the workfield, blah, blah, blah. but, honestly, if that's one of the requirements for getting a job in america then i don't want it, french included. i'm learning for the joy. it sounds so beautiful. one time i was listening to a french station on internet radio and this commercial came on and i didn't understand what they were talking about, but it was so beautiful. at the end of the commercial though they said in english about recycling your garbage. i mean, if a language can make garbage sound beautiful it can make anything sound great.)
3. get license.
(i actually completed this one. got it on march 15th. am so happy too. i love driving. not so much on the highways, they go 70 here!! but learning.)
4. get healthier.
(it always used to be "lose weight" and that never worked out so i decided to go with "get healthier", since it's not just putting emphasis on losing weight but a full mind, body and soul workover. it's working too! while i still eat pizza and snacks like they are the last foods on earth, i have lost a few pounds!! i started doing yoga too! i love it! it's so easy to do and while you are doing it, you don't even realize how it's helping. if you go to self.com you can get this yoga ab exercises and they are great! i was doing them for awhile, then quit for some reason but am doing them again. i do them 3 days a week and started last monday. it takes like 30 mins to do the set and the time just flies by. and, seriously, i cannot stress this enough...it really doesn't feel like exercising. well...the next day, i woke up and my stomach felt like i did like 1,000 sit-ups. you know how your stomach muscles just feel like ouch and when you laugh it hurts. that's how i felt. by wednesday i was good to do the set again. it really works and once again, does not feel like exercise. try it!! go to self.com and look for yoga/ab exercises. they usually have pics of the exerciser and she is wearing all white. hope you can find it. also...when i use to do sit-ups they use to kill my back and i can do this yoga set with no harm to my back and you are on your back for 4 of the 10 exercises. that's truth that it works!!)
5. get organized.
(i'm gonna cross this one because i'm as organized as i can possibly get. while it wouldn't work with most peoples' standards and would most likely horrify the designers from the show "mission organization" (good show, by the way), it works for me and yes, i know where everything is in my room. so...goodbye to number 5!!)
6. be able to do a handstand.
(this is a quirky one of mine. i would just love to be able to do this. maybe if i actually stick to the yoga all the way to the end of 2006 i will be able to do this. have to stick w/ the yoga.)
ok...those were my resolutions for 2005. and, i completed 2 out of 6. that's good, for me anyway. got think about 2006 now. will post those when i have them figured out. ciao!!
