new years resolutions...


okay, i don't ever do new years resolutions, but since everyone else who has a blog has done some... i guess i'll think of a few ways i could improve myself... but that's almost impossible because i am so awesome.

1. be nicer. this week i have been a real b. sorry everybody! blame it on allstate they are stressing me out!

2. make more interesting dinners. i cook all the time, but i wish i was more creative culinarily. so far i've made roast chicken, spaghetti and meatballs and chicken rice casserole this week... so i am not doing great at this. but, i did find a recipe for tempura that looks pretty good...

3. watch less bravo and e! (i doubt i'll be able to give this up... well, until gg is back)

4. be more social. everyone who is reading this that lives in wisconsin, come on over! i'm serious.

5. finish some of my craft projects that i started in 2009, hey, even 2008. remember the cathedral quilt? the mother's day wreath?

6. speaking of #5, decorate for more holidays than just christmas. i love decorations, i just hate cleaning up afterward.

7. read more. i want to read at least 3 real books a month. so far i'm almost done with one, so i guess i'll have to pick shorter books this month.

8. be more grateful.

9. go to the temple more.

10. don't complain so much. i know what you're thinking... what? ali? complain? i know i know. it's a bad habit. but i'm going to work on it!

11. do my hair and make-up better and more often. it's hard when you wear your hair up to work 3/5 days, you know?

anyways, that's all i can think of for now. i'm sure my husband will be able to come up with more for me. also... i want to be as skinny as i was in this picture this year. happy new year!

other than addison being really sad that she wasn't pictured on the blog, i guess we can get past it...considering i am her mother and haven't posted anythingsince halloween. anyway, i have a really good 2011 goal for you. it will be tough, but i think you can be successful. 2 babies in one year! forget any sort of fitted anything, opposite of losing weight goal, hitting higher than you thought was physically possible twice in one year! think about it, i think you would love it!

you should have probably considered coming up with some more realistic goals, ex)limit my texts to amber to under 10 a day, spend less time google searching pictures of kittens and more time buying a real kitten, send the recipe for creme brule to amber....also i'm as upset as addison was that we weren't in any of the pictures!
