i'm all about 2010

yes, resolutions ARE stupid. i'm not sure if i ever really made an "official" New Year's Resolution in my life, or kept one...for longer than a day.

last year, i posted about the things i was looking forward to in 2009. all of those awesome things happened and were even better than i could have imagined. and 2010 is gonna be EVEN BETTER!

things i'm looking forward to in 2010:
* rachel's baby shower (2 weeks away!)
* becoming an auntie and welcoming baby girl lusky into this world!
* registering for awesome STUFF. yes, i will be registering for Rachael Ray awesomeness and sweet bathroom crap
* my bridal shower!
* summer
* josh's brother's wedding
* wedding planning, josh & i's wedding, and most awesomely: week-long honeymoon in MEXICO
* moving in with josh!

ok, ok, that was a lot of gushy josh & me looking-forward-to stuff, but um, can't help it.

things i'm gonna do differently in 2010, aka goals:
* read more
my goal is to read 6 books that i've never read before. i feel like this is a decent amount, considering the crazy busyness i'm going to face this year!
***NOW ACCEPTING BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS***

* eat better
of course, gotta throw something like this in. i need to get over my sweet tooth. stop making brownies for no reason. don't get dessert at restaurants. stop grabbing handfuls of peanut M&M's every time i walk down the stairs at work. must limit myself to special occasions or only a few times a week!
***WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE CANDY YOU GOT FOR CHRISTMAS?***
are you supposed to shove it all down before new year's day? give it away? don't start eating better/dieting until you finish your candy??

* attempt to exercise
yeah, i suck at this. i need to do something with myself! really, i need to find something i enjoy and find some sort of consistency.
***PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME SOMETHING FUN THAT IS CONSIDERED EXERCISE***

* be more focused and organized
at work, at home, at life. also should throw out crap i don't need anymore. yes. must throw out lots of crap.

* spend less, save more and give even when i think i can't afford it
i need to stop buying things. i need to put away money for the future. i need to be willing to give to others that need it more than me.


i think those are some good goals. we'll see how they work out. as of day 7 of 2010, i've been doing ok on the "eating better," haven't started reading anything new yet and have no desire to exercise. so...that's...good.

yeah, so, in closing, give me some awesome book recommendations!!!

one of my favorite bands




one of my favorite bands, mae, is making their new album all-charity. the first of every month they have a song available for download with a minimum donation of $1.00. all the profits from digital downloads will go towards funding humanitarian projects they will be a part of all year long. you can check their website whatismae.com to see what their doing.

so far "the house that fire built" [the first downloadable song] is awesome. i haven't listened to mae much recently...this new song is refreshing.

before you say that a part of you has died
remember that the fire is on the inside
all you need is to open it up wide
time for action, chain reaction (it's time)
