I just found my new year's resolutions for 2008... let's see how I did...
1. Drink 3 glasses of water a day.
I actually did this! Go me! Not b/c of this resolution, though... mainly b/c I've been extremely thirsty.
2. Eat only one sweet thing a day.
haaaaahaha, okay, that sort of ended when I got pregnant...
3. Go walking at least once a week.
The exercise thing has lasted all year! And three times a week, even! Just not necessarily walking...
4. Read the Bible.
Um, I didn't even get past Genesis...
5. Say my personal prayers EVERY DAY!
Again, not so great. Family prayers, yes. Personal prayers, not so much.
6. Don't go back for seconds... or thirds...
haaaa... that ended when I got pregnant, too... or maybe even before...
7. Stop being shy and call friends.
yeah, I'm still shy. I did call a couple of them... only to have them not call me back... which led to feeling like a loser and shyness...
8. Read at least one book a month.
Does reading the twilight series in a month count for several months? No, I didn't do this one. I just don't have the time...
Sooo, two out of eight? is that bad? good? Yeah, I'm so not making any this year. It's just disappointing when I don't do it.
on that happy note. haha Happy New Year's Eve!!
