Starting fresh...

Just in case I don't have time to do this tomorrow, I want to make a list of resolutions for 2009. I'm doing it this way so it's in writing--I can't fudge or conveniently"forget" anything I've promised myself to do. Feel free to hold me to these; I'll probably need all the help I can get.

• Eat healthier (no pork or beef, soft drinks, and limited refined sugars to be specific)
• Work out more
• Have my first 4.0 semester
• Learn how to effectively budget and save money
• Call my dad's side of the family more
• Find a job I can see myself growing in
• Think of the positive before the negative
• Look decent daily (e.g. not just throwing on some clothes and slapping my hair in a ponytail everyday)
• Send a secret to Frank from PostSecret
• Go to church every week and pay my tithes regularly
• Adopt an angel from the Salvation Army Angel Tree at Christmas
• Smile more
• Sleep regularly
• Drink more water
• Write in this blog at least once a week
  

I know it's a lot, but I need to do these things; I'm hoping to be a better person in '09--it's time for change.
