New Year's Suggestions

I've made a list of New Year's Resolutions every year I can remember since I was in Middle School. Loose weight, floss daily, be funnier and more outgoing, find a boyfriend, get strait A's. Nothing out of the ordinary. For some reason, though, my resolutions never lasted more than 2 weeks or so. If you are disciplined enough to floss every day, kudos to you. This year I've decided not to make any resolutions. I've decided on New Year's suggestions. That way when I fail after two weeks it won't feel so tragic. So...here are my 2011 Suggestions.

1. Get in shape. I know it is important to set realizable goals so I've decided to loose 60 pounds, bench 50 pounds, and have the body of a playboy bunny. I mean, all I want is to hear whistles when I walk into a room.
2. I started to play the flute when I was in 5th grade. I had wanted to play the French Horn, but it was too difficult for me. I loved playing my flute. My dad and I would play together from a hymnal. He would play the background while I trilled the melody on my flute. By the time I graduated from highschool I was really good. But dissapointments in college caused me to put it away. I now sound like a choking parrot, but I would like to play again. So - goal number two is to relearn my flute well enough to play in public by Christmas. 
3. Be a better housekeeper. I hate messes, but I am also a terrible procrastinator. (As is evidenced by these New Year's suggestions being posted on January 17.) I know that if I have a pile of dishes, I can count on them to still be there after a movie. However, I've discovered over time that if dishes are left alone they tend to get frisky and reproduce. So I am going to suggest to myself that I stay more on top of my cleaning.

Well, if I was to suggest every needed improvement to myself, this post would never end, so I will focus on these three. I would love to hear suggestions from anyone on how to accomplish these goals. I also love trying new recipes, and I need some healthy ones. So here I am, signing off and hoping to wake up tomorrow and find myself a better, more disciplined person!
