2010 and my resoloutions

Wow so what happened to 2009? It just flew past me these last few months and I haven't updated this blog in forever! So I thought I would start with a simple list of things I want to do better in 2010 - now I cant promise I'll lose 10 pounds, or solve world peace - so I figured I'd focus on the little things, things that should be easy for me to achieve. and if I fail at this , well, then I guess I'm screwed!

#1. Enjoy more live music more often. Go to gigs, listen to it at home, get excited about something that was once my life once again.

#2. In line with number one - update my itunes - the thing is like 4 years old with zero new music on it - I mean literally nothing. Its not that I haven't bought music in that time, I'm sure I have, I just don't know where it is. Oh and I need new playlists - more mood defining ones I think.

#3. Tighter control over the Netflix account - I mean seriously getting Barton Fink on DVD was the last straw - and I'm tired of the "Was it you? It wasn't me" discussions with the hubbo. Oh and I'll return them a little faster this year - try to aim for within a week shall we?

#4. Take up a hobby - anything to get me out of the house and doing an activity that gives me a little me time, and no I suppose manicures and pedicures wont count. I also cant count photography as that is work, tho it should still be fun (more of that later #8).

#5. Play more music to my son Jack - he's at that amazing age where he's soaking up everything I say and do right now so I want him to love and understand music. Teach him all I know and hopefully one day he will return the favor.

#6. Bring lunch with me to work at least once a week. Now its not that hard really is it? Yes it is. but Once a week? I think I can manage that. well , I'll try.

#7. Make more of an effort to dress up a bit, be smarter at work, a touch more make up, maybe brush my hair once in a while? I don't know at what point my appearance went the way of lie ins and large nights out but its time to claim a smidgen of it back!

#8. To photograph for fun and for me. Again. remember that? Pre holiday Season? when you used to LOVE picking up the camera every weekend and got a kick out of what you did with it. Lets try again.
