Whoa, it's 2012.

I had no idea it's been nearly 3 whole months since I posted anything! I only have a few minutes, but here goes nothing: Let's talk about resolutions. I finally made mine measurable on Sunday night - until then, they were just ideas - and here they are, by category:

• DANCE MORE.
• Take 1 private lesson (working 1-on-1 with an instructor) at Arthur Murray per month (and attend as many group classes as possible to get my money's worth!). I already know this will be a challenge because the studio I really like is about an hour commute from work/home, but I NEED dancing back in my life.
• I'm considering taking a community ed class also - Argentine Tango, tap, whatever fits into my schedule.
• WORK OUT MORE.
• Exercise 3 times per week - 1 dance lesson + playing volleyball, using a workout DVD, taking a long walk, just something to get me sweating more than I do walking to and from the bus stop every day.
• Once it's nice enough out again, I'll bike once a week at least. I hear you hardcore cyclists out there - "but it IS nice enough!" - but until I get better cold-weather attire I'll be working out indoors!
• EAT GOOD FOOD.
• Plan a menu every week, and stick to it. 
• Go out to eat only with other people, and only once a week. This is a challenge when I have client meetings away from the office and it's inconvenient to bring a lunch, but that's why I'm doing this - it's challenging!
• MISC.
• Sell a card on Etsy.
• Read 1 book every 3 months.
• Complete 3 crochet projects.
• In general, pinch pennies. (Starting to pay my student loans back = MAJOR budget changes.)

It seems like a big list, but I think it's totally doable... and I'm excited about it! AND I'm already making progress: 

• Scheduled a dance lesson at Arthur Murray.
• Planned a menu and actually COOKED twice this week.

Okay, need sleep now - it's been a stressful week. Hope to write again soon!
