2012 Resolutions

A New Year's Resolution is supposed to be a list of accomplishments you hope to compile for the new year right? Whether internal or external, this list should reflect things you believe would consider 2012 a success in your life. Here goes mine. I'm going to start this blog today, Dec.23rd, 2011, and then I'll post this after January 1st, 2012 once I've had time to think and add to the list. I think it will be so exciting to look at this list in June, when school is out, and see how far I get. I'd love for 2012 to be my year in a cocoon if you will.

1. Clean out garage. Like, can fit a car in there and have Tim the Tool Man Taylor organization skills in that thing.
2. Scrape and repaint the shed in the backyard.
3. New counter tops and mirrors for both bathrooms.
4. Take mom to Charleston, SC for the first time.
