I know this post is predictable. Maybe I shouldn’t say predictable. Maybe I’ll call it traditional. That’s it! My Traditional New Year’s Post.
This is where I say all the things I want to do better in 2011. All of my hopes and dreams. Every blog needs one, so here is mine.
I honestly have never been one for New Year’s Resolutions. I normally quietly set a goal for myself and give myself the year to accomplish it. It doesn’t have to be started in January and it is quiet so I don’t have any accountability! This works for me. Usually.
This year however I’m going public with my goals so you can all congratulate me or laugh at me. Whichever one it may be is fine with me. These are not serious-life-depends-on-Mandy goals. Just goals that would make me a better Mandy. And really who doesn’t need a better Mandy?!
1) I will become more organized. Really. I bought an organizational book and everything. One with checklists and motivational mumbo-jumbo to inspire my lazy butt bottom. I need some help keeping up with it all. If Hubby is reading this, I have hidden the book from you so you don’t laugh at my attempt to organize.
2) I don’t have a number two. Number one is a big, all encompassing goal that will change my life, my stress level, my housework – everything. So really one is enough people!
So here is a toast to my goal(s) for 2011. May it come true and if it doesn’t don’t be to hard on me!
What are your goals for 2011. Anything new and exciting?

Mandy, sister Judy gave me a book on HOW TO GET ORGANIZED. I took it home, put it someplace, and never found it again. So much for that…take baby steps…maybe organize closets in January, paperwork in Feb., kitchen shelves in Mar., etc. Just enjoy every day, hug those you love, and keep writing. I love you. Sharon
Ha! Maybe I will lose this book as well. I like your idea of one project a month…slow but sure. Happy New Years!
Sharon has good advice – one little project at a time and once something is organized work on maintaining it. I’ve been trying to get organized ever since I married a slob er a person who has fewer neatness tendencies than I do. This is one of my resolutions every year and every year it gets a little bit better.
I’ve given up hope on organization. Sigh.
[...] have even assigned book topics to my new organization calendar (see New Year’s Resolutions post) so that I will rotate themes and stay on track. I’m so amazing and organized this first [...]
[...] you all on my all-important New Years goal I talked about in late December. I know you are all on pins and needles to see if Mandy is organized [...]
