1. Study for the GRE and take it before the test goes to 4 hours.

2. Get Ella's room done! That also means getting the 2-3 boxes that are full of my shit out of her closet.

3. Read more. Yeah, yeah...you all think I read a lot, but I saw someone else's resolutions was to read 150 books this year. I doubt I can get thru 50, but I just want to read more. I got 3 books as gifts, bought myself a book, and have 2 in progress and one to be reviewed. Gah!

4. Work out 2 times a week. Considering that I work out during the day, it can get pretty tough for me to find time to take that long lunch at the gym. I'm not even going to set a weight goal as I realized over the summer that even thou I was going down a size, I wasn't really losing weight. GAH! So let's just work on working out.

5. Take Ella to the museum more often. She sooo loves it there, but we always find an excuse not to go. Mostly the $19 parking at Navy Pier. Maybe we need a membership at the Nature museum instead where I can sometimes find free parking.

6. WRITE MORE. And this will happen.

7. Have more fun. Between work, being a mom (not that it's not fun!), and my extracurricular activities, I sometimes forget to just stop and have fun.

8. Watch Ugly Betty. I caught up over the holiday break and gawd damn is this show awesome. And yes, I will "Be Ugly" in 2007. It's not a stretch for me. More evidence? Did you see the episode where Daniel wakes up in Betty's bed? She has Little Mermaid sheets! That was me until we bought a queen sized bed. All my LM sheets are either in full or twin sized sheets. *snort*

9. Continue my year of the Latina. I think watching "Betty" over "The Office" counts. (Note: Steve, this doesn't mean that I don't love you still. I do. I watch "40-Year-Old Virgin" almost every time it is on HBO. This saves the DVD from too much wear & tear. For Show!)

I guess that's it for now. It's been a long time since I made real resolutions, so maybe I went a little overboard. Good luck on yours!
