new year....let's begin!

So I find myself, on this beautiful sunny, but cold first day of 2010, putting up my Christmas decor, while cooking a big pot of Black Eyed Peas and thinking of what will my goals be for this year?

And I have to ask myself, what did I accomplish last year? My answer is not nearly as much as I wanted. I did not lose any weight, (heavy sigh) which would be bad if I had not gained. Well, let me rephrase that answer, I lost some and I gained more. But yet again, I resign myself to make this an ultimate goal this year.

I did get something organized, and that feels GREAT! But as with many other list, it's on-going.

The laundry is so much better than it was last year! yea!

Also, I started on redecorating and remodling my son's bedroom....to be a new Beachy place to do my scrapebooking and just a kind of hang out place for myself...and it came very close to being accomplished. New paint, new floors, new light fixture, new bead board and molding...still need to finish the ceiling tiles and molding and get furniture....but it will be put on hold as my son will be returning home for a while till he can get a good paying job with his degree and save some money for his own place and a car....needless to say, he's still driving the one he got at graduation from high school in 2003, and it was a hand me down. So some small, but important success in getting that room finished...again yea!

And the guest room, which I tackled too, to have a beachy feel, got a great start, some new furniture, new bedding, but still need to do painting on walls, and furniture and the guest bath off the room needs some plumbing issues resolved....hopefully nothing major. So there, that has to remain on the list for 2010 to finish this spring and summer.

So what can I start today on my to do list for 2010, well....I do want to eat better, read my bible through this year (I only lasted with my daily readings through May of last year and then I don't know what happened to me), and since I'm putting up Christmas decor a good time to organize some of the main living areas and rethink the decor. All that being said, I guess it's time to get busy!!!!

:) now let me find some inspiration, I think I'll check out PB as always....
