eleven is my number. it's my birthday and anniversary (neither my due date or our planned wedding date) so it kind of chose me. silly as it may be, it fits me. it's prime so it's indivisible yet it's symmetric. all the mathematical rambling to say, i think it's going to be a good year :)
starting the year off right with mini chocolate fudge cakes with ganache frosting
historically (that sounded a little dramatic) i am not good at keeping resolutions that i make for the new year. i'm a little better at those that i make at my birthday, but still not the best. so i'm trying a new idea, monthly goals. several blogs i've seen do this, and it seems like it would be better for me. so for 1/11...
-lose the 5 pounds i didn't have room to gain over the holidays (this is really so i have room to gain for all the king cake i will be eating :)
- purge stuff. it's not my nature to do this, but when i do it reminds me of what is really important and makes me feel better in general! check out this blog for challenge to purge 111 things in 1/11. with us in temporary housing i think this is a good a time as any!
- budget. this is something we haven't prioritized and i'm excited to become more disciplined in this area. did i just use excited and disciplined in the same sentence?
- exercise 4 times a week. not my ultimate goal but starting at a tangible goal is key for me.
- finish one book. i have this issue of starting books and never finishing. let's go as far to say that there are dozens of books i've started.
so that's it. i have overall 2011 goals of taking more pictures, being better at getting birthday cards/presents to people, learning how to be a better wife, and being more disciplined in general but let's stick to the january goals for now!
happy 2011!
