the list of my New Year's "resolutions"

I am a terrific procrastinator. So, what better day to write out My New Year's Resolutions than January 25th, 2009?
For the record, I am not that big of a believer in New Year's resolutions. Part of it may have to do with the fact that only recently, I have made progress on my resolution from 2007. Back then, I wanted to spend the year getting rid of my clutter and simplifying my life. So, in the summer of 2009, I finally got around to starting that.
This year is going to be all about short, sweet, silly goals and resolutions.

1. Read More Books For Fun
During my four months of unemployment this past year, I lived with my Mom. I stayed up until 6 am more often than I want to admit, woke up at midday all the time, and I also read a lot. I probably read more books for the pure enjoyment of reading in those four months than I have in the entire year (or maybe more) prior to being a recent unemployed college grad. I would often read things I liked in class, but it was rare that I could finish a book just on my own, outside of school work. When I was little, I could be so involved in a book that I would forget to turn the lights on when the sunlight disappeared in my room. I just read into the twilight. I need to get that back.

2. Wear Mascara Often
I just don't want to be terrified of makeup anymore.

3. Wear Skirts With Flats Or Awesome Boots
I need to break the jeans and t-shirts cycle.

4. Try to Get 8 Hours of Sleep
Sleeping keeps you healthy and young! Or so I hear.

5. Keep Adult Life Fun
Because I am terrified of waking up in five years and realizing that my life is dull.
