slacker...

Yes, I know my last post was October 6th and a LOT has happened since then. Unfortunately I have not uploaded my photos from my camera to my computer, but I will work on it. Just thought I would drop in and at least shout out a few of my 2010 resolutions. That way I am a little more motivated since everyone else will see them as well.
  • Workout more often (I'm serious) This semester I am in an aerobic kickboxing class and this morning was our first workout...I can already tell this class is going to be good for me. Especially with a teacher who has the name of Emerald Green.

  • Learn/Practice my cooking skills. Although I don't have many cooking skills my job at Kitchen Kneads truly gets me excited! I now have two cook books. "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" and "The New Best Recipe" Does anyone else have "The New Best Recipe"? IT IS AWESOME.
  • Sew more. Inspired by sister Kellie's resolution to learn how to sew, I need to keep up on it. I am very excited for the upcoming semester's when I get to take more sewing classes!

  • Renovate my closet throughout the year. Be better at getting rid of things and actually wear more of my clothes! I find that I get stuck wearing the same tops and I forget about other ones I have. And if clothes start to get boring, spice them up with new buttons and other add-on's.

  • Practice my photography. Santa was extremely nice this year and brought me a Nikon D3000. Now I just need to learn how to use it...

  • Write in my journal AT LEAST once a week. I would like this to be something that I get into the habit of doing DAILY, but for now I will train myself to do it once a week.

  • DAILY scripture study. I am pretty good at reading a little bit before I go to sleep, but I need to learn to actually STUDY what I am reading.

  • Morning prayers. Great at prayers before bed, but sometimes I am not the best at remembering it when I get out of bed. And I don't mean just a prayer on my breakfast (although that is still a good thing :) )

  • Better prepare my Sunday school lessons. This year we are studying the Old Testament, which is something I am not very knowledgeable about. So it is time to dig deep and take a lot more time when preparing my lessons.

  • And finally, give more compliments. I won't lie, it makes me feel great when someone gives me a compliment, so it would be a good idea if I got into a better habit of giving them out myself.
Also, sister Jill and I were talking today about the insert key on computers. I really, REALLY don't like that key. I was so frustrated earlier this afternoon while trying to send out a big e-mail to my advisor and while I was trying to add a few more comments, I had to practically start all over because I couldn't remember what key causes that problem. Sister and I therefore added the insert key to our list of THINGS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.


Here is something I do understand, and hope to learn how to do someday...


**aren't these "prittay"**

Anyone have any good resolutions that I am missing out on? Things to add to the "don't understand" list?

That's all for now. I will try to be more frequent with my blogging!

don't worry. just because you're not blogging doesn't mean you're not living.

i have the new best recipe and i LOVE it. really. truly. i love all of the books from them that i have... and every recipe i have tried has been great.

my goals are similar on the journal, praying, scripture study. i like to keep it simple so i feel really accomplished. :)

yes those lamps are so pretty.

i will start a petition about the insert key. what a waste!

love you.
