 Adam 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 do 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.
Ann Reierson
My New Year's resolutions:
Eat more sweets
Watch more T.V.
Read more books
Write something everyday.
(and I really mean the last two.)
Gayle Wingerter: I am resolving to read more books and be content with less "stuff."
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 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!)
 Pamela Thompson: In 2010 I want to fill every page in my sketch book and read all of David Edding's books.
 Piper 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!
 Rachel Jones:
- 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 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: 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  resolutions 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.
