New Year's Resolution

Well, here it is January 11th and I have broken many of my thought about (but not too seriously)resolutions.  I have not blogged everyday.  I have not written those long over due letters, nor have I sent out my Christmas cards...from 2011...yet.  I have not lost a pound.  I have not saved a cent.  I have not caught up on my email or my Facebook happenings.  I have not chosen a career, found my passion, saved the world, saved myself even.

I have done a couple of things I did not resolve to do.  I have kicked up my workout routine (yay me!).  I have made a menu every week for the last three weeks and have hired a friend to cook those meals for me once a week.  Clean eating, definitely the way to go.  I got a dog.  Well, I picked one out but he is too young to bring home yet.  January 25th is that big day.

 (Ain't he the cutest thing?)  We have dubbed said dog:  Bartimaeus the Black.  And even though we don't have possession of him he already has several nicknames: Barty, Bart, Black Bart and there are probably more that I don't remember.  I will always call him Bartimaeus.  I think the name fits.  I have found a couple of classes I would like to take at our local community college: web design and nutrition.  Maybe they will lead me toward a new direction in my life.  There has to be something I love to do, right?

As you can see it has been a busy eleven days, trying on the newest version of me.  You know, the one raring to go in 2012.  I am going to pass on the resolution making this time around.  Maybe next year.
