New Year's Resolutions PDF Print E-mail

Adam JonesAdam Jones: My book goal for 2010 is to finally read the modern classic, "The Man Without Qualities" by Robert Musil - both mammoth volumes, all 1800+ pages!  I've been meaning to read it since my junior year of college, and I'm resolving to do it at last.

 
Alicia Simon: This coming year there aren't too many things I hope to accomplish but the few things I doalicia_bio_pic.jpg are pretty big and will take some hard work. I hope to save up enough money to be able to buy my very own car and then after a few months I also want to move out and share an apartment with a friend.

Gayle Wingerter:  I am resolving to read more books and be content with less "stuff."

109 Forgotten American Heroes

 Lacey Kwak-Simon: This year, I would like to read a few books that are out of my comfort zone and build up my library at home. I also want to get my photography business up and running and to have a great start!

Mimi ApplebaumMimi Applebaum:I usually overshoot my resolutions and plan too many... this year's no different. Aside from the cliche weight loss / better health deal I'm planning on making this the year of ME! I want to focus on my at-home businesses, building an Etsy.com shop, planning the best events I can for the bookstore and making sure I take time to do the things I love that so often fall by the wayside for things to make other people happy. I wish there was only one book to tackle this year, but I'm going to try to make numerous things from the fantastic craft books I have: One-Yard Wonders, S.E.W., Amy Butler's Little Stitches for Little Ones, Bend-the-Rules Sewing and Magic Books and Paper Toys. (I suppose if I get one of these done I'll be in good shape!)

Piper RichmondPiper Richmond:
I resolve in 2010 to read Under the Dome by Stephen King (all 1074 pages), to do more art and craft projects, and to see as many concerts as possible at the Gorge!

- Recycled resolutions from 2009: Eat my vegetables. Take my calcium.
- First new resolution for 2010: Come up with reasonable resolutions so that I won't have to recycle them in the future.
- Resolution #2: Master the art of cooking TWO new casseroles.
- Resolution #3: Finally admit to myself that I'm always running 5-10 minutes late.

Renee NavarreteRenee Navarrete:
I want to go to Yellowstone National Park in 2010. And read more classics, like Jane Eyre, Sense and Sensibility and Madame Bovary. I want to plant an even bigger garden than last year and eat or can everything I grow. I also want to take my daughter to the zoo and the aquarium and see her little face light up!

sue_domis.jpgSue Domis: I don't usually make resolutions, but I would like to make an effort to balance my reading stacks. I'd like to try to read more books that I already have at home than obtaining new books to read. So, more of reading what I already have instead of finding new stuff. I usually plan a summer reading project & this summer I'd like to read The Brothers Karamazov & that would fit in with my plan because it's a book I already have & haven't read yet.

Susan Richmond:

I am such a hopeless overachiever when it comes to resolutions!Among my formal and informal
susan_richmond_pic.jpgresolutions and wishes for 2010:

Clean out my pantry at home
- hopefully by the end of January. I've reached critical mass. There are multiple mustards, cereals, soups and miscellany. I don't really know what is in there so I keep buying more - vanilla, salad dressing, walnuts, ketchup - yikes.  I'm planning to use an online recipe program this year in which I can insert food items that I have on hand, like one can stewed tomatoes, a package of stale Life cereal, two potatoes and voila!  Out will pop a yummy, nutritious dinner entree recipe!  I'll keep you posted on that.

Clean out my email inbox. My inbox contains over 3,000 unread emails.  Now, before you jump to the conclusion that I do not carefully read my emails, be assured that I know which ones to read and which ones to ignore. Maybe it is time to unsubscribe to the email missives from every publisher known to mankind and just keep the useful ones. Yes. 

Continue on my quest to be a fit granny
. Our second granddaughter will make her appearance this spring and I plan on playing tag and hide-and-seek with her in a few years.I'm staying on the treadmill with those sweet little girls in mind.  I also have been watching one half of a video each time I hit the exercise equipment.  It is working very well for me as I look forward to watching the second half the next day as I walk.
