Goodbye 2009...

hello 2010. I can't wait to see what the coming year has in store for me :)

and to start things off right, I've made some resolutions...

~ get healthier (less caffeine/carbonated drinks, work out, cook at home)

~ craft more (it's so relaxing for me to just sitting around and paint or whatever)

~ read more (watch less TV.  there are so many books I have that I want to read)

~ save money (no more frivolous spending!)

~ buy a house

we'll see how all these resolutions go, I'll keep you updated :)

i love reading!

I've got to get back into the habit of reading. usually, I've always got at least one book I'm reading, sometimes 2 or 3. but lately, I've been slacking and not reading as much. I've started three books, but have not finished them. so, I've got a list of books that I have already and haven't read and some that I just ordered, and I'm planning on having them all read by the end of the year! I can totally do this!

the book are as follows, and in no particular reading order...

Letters and Paper from Prison by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs

Predator by Patricia Cornwell

The Local News by Miriam Gershow

In My Skin by Kate Holden

Jesus on Death Row by Mark Osler

An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison

If I Knew Then by Amy Fisher

Getting it Through My Thick Skull by Mary Jo Buttafuoco

Gift of Therapy by Irvin D. Yalom

and after I finish reading all of those, I'm going to read these...

The Scarpetta Factor by Patricia Cornwell

Love's Executioner by Irvin D. Yalom

Mop Men by Alan Emmins

I think I've got my work cut-out for me :)
