Hello everybody!
We are settled into our new apartment (thanks Mom and Dad!), and had a wonderful holiday break, and we are ready to start the new year! This year is the year of the Dragon, starting on Monday, and that is my year.
While I did not necessarily make "New Year's" resolutions, I did make some birthday resolutions. I usually make seven. I don't know why seven, it just is. : )
1. Get down to 175 pounds. (That means losing 25 pounds) I don't really have a plan of action for this one. I have been taking more walks with the family, and I have every intention of eating healthier, I just haven't started that part yet.
2. Pay off all of Scott's debt. We want to buy a house. Since my credit is messed up beyond recognition, we are going to do it in Scott's name. So we are going to pay off all of his debt. (Next is mine, but it will take more than a year to do that : )
3. Clean house. Somehow, even after the three-week camping expedition, we still have too much stuff! We did empty the storage units, both of them, and threw SO MUCH stuff away, I still have more donating and trash to get rid of. I am doing 40 Bags in 40 Days for that one, and I have done 8 or 10 bags so far. It feels so good to get rid of clutter!
4. Get my passport. This has been on my list for years. No plans to travel out of the country yet. : )
5. Meditate daily. I am starting off with a simply daily review before I fall asleep. So far, I haven't made it before lunch before I fall asleep (I review my day backwards).
6. Plant an herb a month. Calendula for January! I'm so excited about this project, you can use calendula in so many ways, and it is pretty! I got my seeds from New Frontiers yesterday, and I'm getting my compost/soil ready now!
7. Keep up with Herb Mentor. An online learning site for using herbs medicinally.
So that is what is going on with the me lately.
