Lets be honest, who really is all that great at resolutions anyway?
For 2010 (which is going to be a fabulous year by the way), I made a list of 101 small goals I have, nothing that is too huge of an undertaking, just small things that I have either pushed to the back burner, forgotten about, or have never made time for. This year will be different, I refuse to keep making lists and never completing them, so instead I will blog about them
The span from little things around the house I have been meaning to do, personal goals, books I keep meaning to read, etc. And, what better day than to post this, 1-10-2010!
