As the new year is quickly approaching, I've been thinking about resolutions. I've honestly never been one to take them too seriously, and if I DO make a few resolutions, I very rarely stick to them as I should. I've decided that I want to change that in '09. I've been thinking about my resolutions for a while, and I think that it's time that I share my resolutions with my blog readers.
So, here you go...
1. STOP BITING MY FINGERNAILS. It's a sick SICK habit that I've had nearly all my life. It's a resolution I've had for about the last 8 years. I'll do really well during the entire month of January, but that's about it. My nails grow fairly quickly, and I really do like it when they have a little length to them. SO WHY??? WHY CAN'T I STOP??
2. Take at least one trip via airplane every year starting in '09. I've mentioned this before, and this IS one I plan to stick with. I can probably count on just one hand (maybe one and a half hands) the number of times I've been a plane. Traveling is something I really do enjoy, but I don't do NEARLY enough.
Hmmm...where should I go in '09?
3. Give more to my church financially. I shouldn't say "it's hard for me to give what I should because I'm a teacher and I don't have a lot of money." Giving to my church should be my number one priority, and if that means giving up something else, so be it.
4. Train for a half marathon. This is quite possibly the one that I will try to talk myself out of. I've run several 5Ks, but nothing more than that. I've honestly never even run more than about 6 miles at one time, so 13.1 miles will be a challenge. I've been researching upcoming half marathons as well as training guides for me. I would really love to stick with this one.
That's really all for now. Even though it's only 4 resolutions, I'd say it's 4 pretty challenging ones! I'm going to count on you for encouragement!
Have you thought about YOUR resolutions??

wow, you're brave. I don't think i could publish my resolutions so others could use it against me when I break them. Here are some thoughts:
1) I too bite my nails. A good way to help that is to go and get regular manicure. When they look nice, I tend to leave them alone.
2) Half-marathon-I think this is great. If you can do this...you should. If you are afraid it's too much, then make this one a two year resolution.
3) Traveling is great. My parents made me travel every summer. As a result, I've been to 49 states. I think a great place to go is the west coast. Lots of fun things to do over there and it's so different than MS.
4) Giving to the church-how can you go wrong there??
It was good seeing you! Enjoy the rest of your break!
Laura...Train with me. I have been training for the NOrleans 1/2, but can't get anyone to go and run with me. We could do the Nashville in the spring. I run in the mornings before work. Think about it!
Girl, you're too pretty to bite your nails; hands are what I notice first on people. In fact, I ran into my Humanities (senior yr) teacher from high school just before Katrina (30 years post graduation)...I recognized her hands, not her face! Wild, huh? By the way, we had a good holiday with your lil sis and my nephew...now it's y'all's turn! Aunt Darlene
