Great post! I want to complete something similar to your book, and it’s the FlyLady.net Control Journal. I resolve to get my fitness level back into the healthy range from the overweight range. AND I resolve to spend at least one Saturday a month working on putting photos into photo albums for our 2 children. It won’t be a big scrapbook thing with al the fancy journaling and pricey papers, etc., but plain old photo albums.

@Lucie,
My nails look quite nice right now- something to do with not being in school at the moment, I think! I almost feel like if I stop biting my nails than I have to go back to smoking- which would be really bad! I have a feeling the habit will really be broken after finals in May.

I read something in the NY Times (I will post the link on Twitter and bookmark it on Delicious) about NY’s resolutions. There was a quote that really stuck with me; a woman had been trying to stop biting her fingernails, and never managed to do so. Finally she went to a hypnotist in desperation. The hypnosis didn’t help, but something he said did. To paraphrase: she will always want to bite her fingernails, but she will want pretty hands more.

So, in my case, I will always want to go shopping and blow lots of money at Ikea and on pretty clothes, but I want to be debt free with good savings more.

Great resolutions Kelly!

I am still working on my goals for 2009. And you know, I quit biting my nails from age 17 to 24. Then I went to law school. Then the biting began again. I think I’ll wait to after graduation and the bar to quit that bad habit though

Great post to get me thinking!

Great resolutions, Kelly! I wish you success! My New Year's resolution is to begin meal planning. I've not done it before and have seen many people have a lot of success with it. Sarah H.´s last blog post..New Year's Resolutions - The Key to Success

Those are some great resolutions! Interestingly enough, the visitor goal (30,000 a month by the end of the year) is the same goal that I have for Live To Budget I’ve also resolved to pay off at least three debts by the end of the year (a loan and two credit cards), and restart the vegetable garden.

It should be an interesting year!
