2006 resolutions

Hope everyone has a great New Year and a fabulous weekend! Rob and I have nothing planned so it looks like it’s going to be a quiet weekend at home. *happy*

2006 meme stolen from Christie.

FIVE RESOLUTIONS FOR 2006
1. My most important resolution is to SAVE MONEY. Especially since Rob told me today that I should start saving money for a wedding. OMG, he’s hinting… *hyperventilates*
2. Go to the gym more often. I pay membership fees each month and sometimes I don’t even go. :/
3. Read more books. I completely failed at the 2005 Book Challenge.
4. Learn how to cook. I actually improved a *lot* this year and managed to make dinner a few times but I still have a long way to go.
5. Get my driver’s license. I SWEAR this is going to happen in 2006.

FIVE THINGS I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2006
1. Girls’ weekend out with my best friends. We’re tentatively looking at May. Very, very excited!
2. 2 weddings in July (my cousin’s and my friend Mike’s).
3. Possible trip to Australia with my Dad in August.
4. Possible trip to Hawaii with Rob in April. (We talked about this today, though, and it looks like it might not pan out. There’s still a possibility so I’m keeping my hopes up!)
5. Really shallow but the new season of 24. Jack Bauer and Tony Almeida!

FIVE TWO THINGS I’M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2006
1. Moving. Yes, again. Rob and I recently found out that our apartment complex is slowly being turned into condos and our building is going to be one of them. We anticipate the notice to come in March/April. We’ll have to make a decision about staying in Northern CA or finally moving back to Southern CA.
2. If we move back to Southern CA, I am completely dreading looking for a new job. I’m so happy at my job and I’ve made really great friends there… change is so hard.
I really can’t think of anything else…

FIVE MOVIES I WILL SEE IN 2006
1. Match Point (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers!!!)
2. X-Men 3
3. Superman Returns
4. Marie Antoinette
5. The DaVinci Code

FIVE BOOKS I WANT TO READ IN 2006
1. His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman
2. Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner
3. Wicked by Gregory Maguire
4. Jemima J by Jane Green
5. The Washingtonienne by Jessica Cutler

FIVE THINGS I’M GOING TO TRY TO CUT BACK ON IN 2006
1. STARBUCKS. I *must* stop drinking peppermint mochas. I wish I wasn’t so addicted to them in the mornings.
2. Fast food. I can’t help that I love McDonald’s sausage mcmuffin with egg.
3. Buying clothes because they’re on sale. I want to focus on building a wardrobe that’s classic. No more buying t-shirts that I can’t wear to work!
4. Eating out. This will help me save money.
5. Stress at work. I need to learn how to ask people for help when I need it.

FIVE THINGS I’M GOING TO TRY TO DO MORE OF IN 2006
1. Drink more water.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables. (And no, Jamba Juice does not count).
3. Sleep. I have a really bad tendency to stay up late.
4. See the doctor(s) regularly. I have a bad habit of only making appointments when there’s something wrong. I need to get myself a primary care physician too.
5. Bring lunch to work so I don’t eat out.

EEEEKKK. I have a lot of work to do in 2006.
