Blog more. Perhaps a goal of once a week is attainable. Yes, let's try for that...
- Read more nonfiction and news. I've already begun this one with "How We Die," which is beautifully written and very interesting. And I am going to finally buckle down and get subscriptions to The New Yorker and The New York Times online.
- Play more guitar. Mostly as an excuse to sing, and also it's therapeutic.
- Make long overdue doctor's and dentist appointments. Four for me, plus one for my cat!
- Continue thinning out my wardrobe. I really need to get rid of more things.
- On that note, buy fewer things. Unless I really need them for work or something. And then I will continue to fix up things I already have and try to only buy designer things at Housing Works.
- Eat better! I used to eat spinach for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let's try that again. I pretty much just need to not eat delicious banh mi EVERY DAY for lunch.
- Exercise. At least twice a week. Right now I do NOTHING, so anything is an improvement. No gyms, though, because they are awful and I hate them and I refuse to go. I will run, take ballet, clear my head with yoga, use our pull up bar at home. I can do it!
- Along those lines, lose a few pounds so I don't look terrible in my cousin's wedding pictures this summer. If I actually do the previous two things, this shouldn't be too difficult. I hope...
- Work my butt off in my new fancy big girl job, because guess what, I am getting a promotion! This also entails negotiating a decent raise.
- And while I'm getting the big nonprofit bucks (hah!), I should probably try to get my financial life in order. It's in shambles right now. I need to find a new bank I think.
- So once I have all that in order... I need to save serious money.
- And while we're saving things, let's save the whales.
- And the trees.
- Let's save the ozone, too.
- And also puppies.
- Last but not least... Save Ferris.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
