A resolution from Jenn

Kate & Auntie Liz, Summer 2006.
Kate Christmas 2009 (at least the shoes will survive this blog....)
Jenn's 2010 (aka: I'm 30 now, here are my goals for the next YEAR):
  • I will not let my daughter wear dresses that are only modest when you put on the BEAR version (thank you, Liz... I'll have to find a build a bear for 5 year olds. Can you believe this skank-zilla dress? And yup- I got it for her. Thank you me.)
  • I am going to get in shape. Not just lose weight- which, thanks to my blended diet of bulimia and anorexia these last few "sick" days, I have already gotten a heads up on, I am going to tone. That's right. P90X, 2 years of collecting dust, your days are numbered...
  • I am going to church every Sunday, doing FHE lessons with the fam and say my prayers- not just the prayers that are said to make someone laugh, either. I'm going to say my prayers morning and night. The personal ones.
  • I am going to stop using the inversion off the freeway as an excuse not to take my kids outside to play. Hey, we may not have a park out front, but my goodness. There's a whole beautiful world just a few blocks from us... I know it!
  • Meet moms. I am going to meet some girls (and I mean MOMS like ME) who have girls that my daughter can be friends with. No more kissing cousins! (Just kidding, Brooke. But I had to write it!)
  • Visiting Teaching. Need I expound? Really. As soon as I'm assigned...
  • Stop being so uptight. Stop needing to pound any sort of anxiety pill before breakfast is even over. Just "go with the flow." I'm fun. I can be fun- I can revert back to the days when I focused entirely on that, right?

Let's see, what else.

  • Oh yes, dinner. I want to make better meals for my family and be more consistent about dinnertime and nutrition and all that.

For now, I shall end.

Here is to 2010!!!

Your posts are always so funny! I think you cheated on our planned diet, no fair!
But your goals look awesome, good luck! I'll remind you of them every once in a while....
