1.) Reduce spending: cook at home more frequently and pack lunches, limit impulse purchases, use what I have. Conserve!

2.) Increase activity: bike to work more frequently, hit the gym, swing dance, hike and swim more.  Continue to lose weight (woop!).

3.) Create space for creativity: sew and dance!

And, last but not least, one I would like to challenge everyone to take on:
4.) Be a safer driver: No texting in the car! It’s not rocket science here, but it’s surprising to me how often my friends or I will glance away from the road for a silly text. It can wait. I hope you’ll take this one on with me, check this documentary AT&T made on texting and driving if you’re not convinced, I challenge you to watch it and not feel the same as I do.

(Sorry to be a downer, it’s a sad video but important!)

2011 will be AWESOME! Keep it that way – no texting while driving!

Really, you guys spoil me. Last weekend was spent with a small group celebrating Micah’s birthday in a beautiful riverside cabin on Hood Canal.

And this weekend? I’m hanging out with my lindy hopping crew. A group of twenty two (TWENTY TWO!!?) of us are renting out a huge log cabin in Leavenworth.

Ah, December. Full of rain and snow and win.
