2008 revolutions

Last year, I was more successful than ever with actually keeping resolutions. I think this is because the resolutions I made were things I wanted to do, rather than things I thought I had to do or should do (best advice ever: don't "should" on yourself). So I'm going that route again this year, and here's the list:

• continue working on master's degree
• do a writing exercise every day
• eat more real food, less processed food (by doing the next two)
• see a nutritionist for food advice
• use slow cooker at least once a week
• walk every day
• start cognitive behavior therapy for the panic attacks
• go to bed at a decent hour (which will help with the next one)
• get to work on time (the earlier I get there, the earlier I can leave)
• keep crocheting - this year's projects: 2 baby blankets for co-workers, blankets for Em and Jamie, Mom and Steve, Dad and Sharon, one for a bed in Jane-the-gardener's dollhouse, one for me (and post pictures of all - I've started a ravelry account)
• start dollhouse (I've found one I like that won't take up too much room - it's called a Vermont farmhouse, and it will fit nicely on top of my dresser)
• de-clutter condo
• go to UU services on a regular basis
• host tea party for girlfriends in March (this will be the incentive to de-clutter the condo sooner rather than later)
• spend less, save more (with all the stuff I've planned for myself this year, I won't have much time to spend money; clever, eh?)
