A Different Take

That post could start a billion sentences... "A different take on the world" "A different take on life", "A different take on... me"

It will end like this: A different take on New Year's Resolutions.

It seems as though I only write blog posts after Christmas and during the summer.  I wonder why that is?  No, I don't. I know why, I'm not in school!! :)

Here is my different take on New Year's Resolutions.  Instead of giving myself one thing to work on per month, like I've tried the last two or three years, I'm going to give my self a list of things to do that have to be completed in a two-months' span.  These can be things like "clean the car" or "read a book".  But they don't have to be completed in a month's time-- rather just giving myself extra time.

So, here is my list.  I have the right to change this list as many times before January 1, 2013.
