Baby Steps

After nearly two and a half weeks spent sick in bed, I'm slowly re-entering the world of the living. And lo! It's a new year already! While I ponder my resolutions for 2010, here is a review and reckoning of last year's goals:

• Run a Marathon {check!}
• Wear color {check! Yellow and red were favorites.}
• Entertain- host an Oscar Party, Dinner Party and Halloween Party {um, dismal failure. Does attending more parties count?}
• Fill the walls with art {check! Love my city-art wall.}
• Stay out of debt and contribute more to savings {check, though partway thru the year J lost his job and our savings is now quite depleted. But we're still out of debt.}
• Romance! Get a babysitter and go out on a date monthly {check! Many thanks to my VT for all the babysitting exchanges.}
• Fold laundry immediately after washing it {I can't check this off, though I am much improved. But while I've been sick, my bedroom floor has accumulated a thick layer of 'clean' clothes waiting to be folded...}
• Attend the Temple {could still stand some improvement}
• Whisper {will I ever truly check this off?}
• Set up separate boy/girl bedrooms by August {check!}
• Remember this {constant struggle, but doing better.}

Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. I'll be sure to post my new list when it's finished. Anyone else making New Year's Resolutions? Or are you amongst the camp staunchly against such things? {my mom believes goals are to be made year-round, not in a single pressure-filled month} Whatever your preference, I wish you a happy 2010!
