Ten Things Tuesday

I am slightly tardy, but here are some New Year's Resolutions of mine:

1)  Finish reading the Bible all the way through.  I received a One Year Chronological Bible last year, and I am sad to announce I only made it through sometime in August.  I read it all year, but I never could the full amount each day.  So I am hoping to definitely finish it this year.

2)  Be more disciplined in my life.  I am always wanting to eat better, exercise more, read more, pray more, etc, but never making myself do it.

3)  Finish at least one book.  I can never finish a book.  I don't know why . . . but I feel like I have a lot of distractions around here . . .

4)  Finish Little Dude's Baby Book.

Or, more accurately start and finish Little Dude's Baby Book.

Poor Little Dude.

5)  Since I have gone digital, I have been really bad about printing out pictures for albums.  The last time I completed a photo album for the family was in December of 2007.

A lot has happened since December of 2007.

Handsome Dude started being a busy little turd.

And Little Dude was born.

Poor Little Dude.

It's tough to be #4.

6)  I don't think this will happen.  I really don't.  I know I am setting myself up for failure.  But I really think I should try to start drinking my coffee black. 

7)  Go on a fabulous vacation to Mexico with my husband sans children.

Everyone always looks at me like I am nuts whenever I say "sans."

Have you seriously not heard this word?

I got it from a movie.

"I'm what you call 'sans parents.'"

Name that movie.

8)  You have heard me joke around about my acne.

Yes.

It is true.

I still have acne.

But acne is not a joke.

It is, in fact, quite annoying.

And gross.

There is an intense 6 month treatment I can do that will most likely cure me of acne.

It will be quite involved.

But I am going to do it.

9)  Finally finish our house.  This is actually more of a resolution for the Lumberjack.

For I know now how to build a house.

But I resolve to encourage, nag, remind, clap, and do anything else necessary to get his hiney in gear.

For it has been 6+ years of this nonsense.

And I have had enough.

10)  I must go to the dentist.  I have not been in 6 years.

I know.

Dis-gusting.

Things I resolve to never do:

*get a perm again

*try to be a lumberjill and help the lumberjack again

*cook chicken without rinsing it first.

So, I didn't know you were supposed to.

But now I am informed and I solemnly swear to rinse all chicken before cooking it.

Although, I honestly don't know what water is going to do to fight salmonella.

But, whatever.

*Buy generic diapers

 

Happy Tuesday!
