Almost

Let's talk about those New Year's resolutions.  I did START to clean out the bead room/office and I gathered three large boxes of clothes to take to the Women's Shelter.  I threw some papers away that were four years old and I figured if I didn't need them in four years I wasn't going to need them at all.  Same for some magazines that I couldn't resist keeping.  Oh and I went through the computer manuals for how-to about Windows 98, Adobe Photoshop Version 6, Learn how to fix your own computer and Learning HTML the easy way.  I am taking them all to the second hand book store, I know I won't be using Windows 98 ever again and I won't be fixing my own computer either.

I didn't start exercising and I didn't lose any pounds except maybe for two seconds just before lunch.  I haven't made any jewelry and I haven't even unpacked the kiln, the glass cutters or any of that wonderful dichroic glass.

I haven't gone outside to take a walk except to the mailbox and I haven't lost any pounds.

My excuse?  It's been too cold outside and I'm just getting over my after holiday blues.  Next month I'll try again to finish at least one of those things I started.

Resolutions

Once again it's time to share my New Years resolutions.  It took a few days to decide what was in the realm of possibility since last year I did absolutely nothing.

1.  Get exercise and lose some pounds.
2.  Start making jewelry again.
3.  Start fusing glass again.
4.  Start using my new Kindle instead of buying books and stacking them up just to smell the paper.
5.  Get exercise and lose some pounds.
6.  Stop spending money on unnecessary things.
7.  Clean out all unnecessary things, put them in boxes and give to a shelter for women.
6.  Take more photographs and organize the photos I've already taken.
7.  Get exercise and lose some pounds.
8.  Write more than twice a year on this blog.
9.  Get out of the house more often even if I have to give up some reading time.
10.Get exercise and lose some pounds.

This list is not necessarily in order as I'll probably start using the Kindle first thing and continue reading.  I've already read one book on it and today is only the 4th of January.  The treadmill is waiting and I can read while I walk (just as soon as I clean off the boxes that are being stored on it).
