Resolutions 2010

Posted on Dec 31, 2009 in Family and Friends, Holidays, La Gringa, Thing 1, Thing 2 | 0 comments

We had a look at last year’s New Year’s Resolutions today and saw that, for the most part, we had accomplished all of our New Year’s Goals. I got a pass on mine since my number one resolution was to run six half-marathons instead of five from the previous year. But there wasn’t much I could do about destroying my knee. So we’ll just pass on that one, right?

This year’s resolutions were made on the back of a receipt while munching tacos on New Year’s Eve day. Here they are:

La Gringa

Get more fit. Run more. Gym more.
See my friends more often

Me

Get back to fighting shape even without distance running
Get a job I love while being able to pick kids up each day from school

Thing 2

Read lots of books
Learn an instrument
Finish year five in dance and get the 5 yr. trophy

Thing 1

Read the rest of the Magic Tree House collection in Spanish
Learn an instrument
Play lots of Club Penguin
