Happy New Year


20 minutes ago they welcomed in the New Year in Tokyo- we watched it- on TV that is.  Actually I think the boy bands we were watching on TV were in Osaka.  They go all out here, I am quite impressed.  Of course I would have been more impressed to watch the festivities in person.  That is- opposed to watching it on TV after finally getting Hubby to quite playing Madden '10 for 5 minutes so we could watch the local Japanese TV station.  (I have myself to blame for the video game- it was my gift to him for Christmas.)


So did you make resolutions this year?  I don't normally make resolutions because I tend to get carried away and never carry anything out.  I know- join the club right?

But this year I AM going to make that list.  I don't know why- just feel like I should for some reason.

My first resolution is that I am going to do something fun for the next year- 2011.  It was depressing today not having any plans.  I bought a bottle of French champagne today- all in vain.  I didn't bother to open it.  Hubby prolly would just take a sip and the kids... well they WOULD sleep very well...  Just kidding! ;) So next year- Hubby or no Hubby- I am going to do something fun.  And no- I don't mean if he is on a ship somewhere I will go out anywhere.  I mean even if he is home- I am still going to make plans- whether he wants to join me or not!  I will walk down to the bar by myself if I have to, DAMN IT!  hee hee

My second resolution is to get back into shape.  I was actually on this path earlier this year- but the holidays and Hubby's homecoming put a wrench in the works.  So not only do I want to get into shape- but I would like to run a 5K at some point this year- they have them several times a year here.  I think I can do it without killing myself... I guess I will find out!  I am not going to put a number on how many pounds or how many inches I want to lose.  I figure if I get into good enough shape to run a 5K, then I will have met my goal!

I can think of a billion more resolutions- but I won't get carried away here.  I did join a reading challenge- so that takes care of my desire to read more.  I do want to sew more as well- I guess I will have to find a challenge for that one too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I wish you all much happiness in the new year and the years to come!

  4. Happy New Year! I'm trying to make goals for the year, as opposed to resolutions. I think I tend to do better about reaching them if it's a goal as opposed to just a resolution that I later decide is a New Years whim. Anxious to hear what you decide to do for next New Years. :-)
