2011 Resolutions.

By now I hope that most people haven't abandoned their New Year's Resolutions. After all, it's only the 26th. Maybe most of you have accomplished what you've set out to do because you are overachievers or maybe you never even made a resolution to begin with. But because I run on JST (Jana Standard Time), I'm just creating mine now and I decided that I would list my goals for this year in a blog post in hopes that someone may hold me accountable if they read this.

My friend, Lisa posted her resolution blog awhile ago. I thought it was a great idea. You can read her's here. It's pretty inspiring.

1. Have a more consistent quiet time.
2. Blog 30 times more than last year. So, I'm aiming for 66 posts. After watching "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog", I feel that I need more of a web presence and honestly want to meet more people through the internet. Plus,it reminded me that I really need to break out into song next time I'm having a dilemma.
3. Handwrite more notes to people in my life. Not e-mails. Real notes. Let them know I appreciate them.
4. Send "An Ode to the Sundance Kid" to Robert Redford with a note, of course.
5. Mosaic. In other words, use all the mosaic supplies that I have been storing up over the years.
6. Sew my "Saga" pillows. Katie Lindberg, I'm counting on you.
7. Finish re-upholstering the chair that I've been working on for a year.
8. Take guitar lessons.
9. Upload a music video to YouTube. I really need to figure out what song to start with first. It's such a daunting task.
10. Play out at 3 open mics. Baby steps.
11. More Books, Less TV.
12. Talk Less, Listen More.
13. Co-write a song.
14. Bake cookies. chocolate chip. 
15. Get a head start on memorizing my lines for "Into the Woods".
16. Arrive to events on time. I'm habitually tardy. This seriously needs to change.
17. Refrain from Splurging. So long, Amazon & iTunes!
