Things to Do in 2011

I'm a huge fan of lists. And of making resolutions. Not necessarily always at the start of a new year, but just in general. I think they can be good.

At work, we teach the students how to set S.M.A.R.T. goals - goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely. My resolutions are none of those things. They aren't specific goals - on purpose. This is just a list of things that I'd like to pay more attention to.  On that note, things I want to accomplish in 2011:

• Get married!
• Organize all of my craft ideas into a binder, so I can actually create!
• Donate a quilt to a local fundraiser
• Start an exercise routine (about 3x/week) 
• Re-connect with old friends with whom I've lost touch
• Visit my grandma in New York for a sewing weekend
• Make an album of all of our pictures from 2010
• Pack my lunch / eat lunch at home as much as possible
• Make time to read
• Make smarter food choices - like wheat bread over white.
• Stick to a cleaning schedule
• Stop worrying about what other people think and whether I'm doing things the "right way"
• Make the most of my wardrobe. I tend to be a lazy dresser - I have great clothes, but I usually can't be bothered to put an actual outfit together.

I'm sure I'll think of more as the year goes on...and I'll add them to my list and keep you posted on my progress! What are you going to do in 2011? Jamie from C.R.A.F.T. is going to implement one new herb in her cooking each month.  Such a cool idea!

Happy 2011!
