I don't like the word 'resolutions'. To me, that sounds like you fell so short the year before you have to make a resolution to improve. Instead, I like the idea of fresh starts with big goals and bigger dreams.
I think 2010 is going to be a pretty kick-ass year. I have a feeling.
So, some things I'd like to do next year:
1. Throw a mimosa brunch for my best friends.
2. Spend a weekend in College Station with Mike.
3. Take a few steps in the right direction of starting an organization that provides resources, encouragement and support to new moms.
4. Put together a book of memories I've been meaning to make for a special someone. (Purposefully cryptic!)
5. Run a 5K, then a 10K, then a half-marathon.
6. Host a holiday ornament exchange and cookie decorating party.
7. Make great strides in being the kind of friend who remembers and acknowledges birthdays better.
8. Introduce Kyle to all the family he hasn't gotten to meet yet.
9. Own a great pair of investment jeans.
10. Take a vacation, no matter to where or when, with just my husband. We've earned it.
11. Read at least 20 books. I can't remember the last year I did this. (2004, maybe?)
12. Write all my addresses into my file box.
13. Buy nightstands for our bedroom.
14. Let only good, genuine things motivate me.
15. Throw Kyle a kick-ass birthday party (making the invitations and a banner all on my own!)
16. Make fitness and health a priority.
17. Buy a pretty dress (like this or this or this) and wear it out on the town, with my husband on my arm.
18. Continue creating awesome, fun and inspiring content on Style Lush. (With the help of the awesome writers.) Also, host a Style Lush dinner at BlogHer 2010.
19. Make a dentist appointment.
20. Make crab cakes, chicken masala and cinnamon buns (from scratch).
21. Look fabulous at my 10-year high school reunion.
22. Buy some art for our (bare) walls.
23. Take Kyle to an A&M football game.
24. Learn to drive a stick (uh, this has been on my goals list for years; time to buckle down!).
25. Watch The Wire.
Tell me, what do you want to do in 2010?
