Resolutions?

Resolutions you ask? Check checking the date of this post will give you an idea of how mine are going. I wanted to just read 1 book a month- I have a great list thanks to wonderful FB friends. I have purchased 2 of them. I have not opened either. so sad for my lame self. I have a long flight home on Monday. I will do my best to read. Though I do have 3 People Magazine crosswords I've been saving so it may not be promising. Secondly, swimming 3 days a week. I love to swim for exercise. Its one of the few things where I can actually see a change in my body right away. Our health club is beautiful and has a pool that looks out all over Tokyo. no excuses for me really. This blog. Resolution #3. I wish I did creative projects like I used to and I'm hoping this will help. And, if it reconnects me with one of my favorite old friends it will be worth it. Thats it for resolutions- not too many. I should be able to stick to them.

Photo Project- 3 words for next week. Morning. Fire. Just for you. I'm hoping they will make us both be creative and need to think a little. I'll post as soon as I've got them. You can too. And come up with next weeks words.


I'll try to get rid of the Japanese words. Sure wish I knew what I did...

Happy Weekend.

Janet's Books Read in 2011

A Gift From the Sea, by Anne Morrow Lindbergh


This is a very sweet book and a quick read.  My copy belonged to my mom and still had the price tag inside the front cover...$2.75...a hardback!  The book was written in 1955 and I loved it that Anne Morrow Lindbergh was either so ahead of her time or that some things just never change.  Anyway, I loved her writing style and it was a great way to start the year!

Janet's 2011 New Year's Resolutions

I've been working desperately on my New Year's resolutions!  I do realize we will be starting our 4th week of 2011 this weekend but, as usual, I procrastinated.  So guess what my first resolution is going to be???  To be honest, I'm trying very hard to come up with a realistic list of improvements in my life.  What do you think about these?

• Stop procrastinating
• Go paperless (and get rid of unnecessary paper that I own)
• Reduce expenses
• Read 2 books per month
• Develop and stick with a morning routine
• Paint Kyle's bedroom, hall into my bedroom, and my bathroom
• Work on Jennifer's book and a gf book

Even though my list is still a work in progress, my self-correction has begun!

How 'bout you?
