2012 Resolutions/Hopes?
Since it's only days away, does anyone have any interesting resolutions or hopes for the new year?
I rarely make resolutions, because I never keep them. But I am hoping to start saving money by bringing lunches at least twice per week. Oh, and cutting out the daily lattes. $5 a morning adds up! And I'm hoping my husband and I both have new jobs. (Quickly, in his case, since his current job ends in April.)
I'm boring. Someone else must have something more interesting to share! 
Re: 2012 Resolutions/Hopes?
To sound cliche, I am hoping/planning to start working out more, eating better.....aka lose weight.
Being that I'm hoping to be a mommy, I'm really wanting to make changes in my life (spending $) and such, that will help me be what I think will help me be more prepared for a family.
Hopes.....well, let's see....get pregnant
We know know that we have to do IVF, so that's a big step. Consultation is next week, and I'm ready!!!!
And I really want to find a job (currently doing part-time temp work), in the Food & Beverage or Fashion industry that I enjoy and know that I will be there long term.
Good luck 5000C for you and the hubby!
I don't really have resolutions... But I definitely know I want to keep up with WW to lose a little more weight.
Good luck with the consult, cwbykitty! I hope everything goes smoothly (and quickly!) for you.
Thanks a lot guys!!!
Once I know what my raise is, I am going to put more into savings every week. I'm going to pretend I didn't get a raise, essentially.
I WANT to start running. Now actually doing it is another thing.
I'd like to say buy a house, but since we aren't really in any rush, it's not really a resolution, but maybe a slight hope
Money Related: Pay off More Debt, Increase Savings and Retirement, Start Investing
Work Related: Get a new social work job or promotion
Fitness: Hike a new mountain, be able to do push-ups again (had a broken wrist this summer), bike a century ride
Personal: Stop biting nails. It's gross. Find a church in our area.
Family: Adopt or at least get approved for adoption.
I need to do both of these too.
That's what I did when DH got a raise, it's a great way to save,,,,good luck!
Very cool! With the issues we now know we have in regards to having kids, I definately see us adopting in the future too!
Good luck!
I did that after I got engaged- it did work! But it does get expensive- even if you can find a $12/week place.
I found Nailtiques Formula #2 works really well to harden my nails and make them strong but it also hardens my cuticles, which are MY week spot. My nails suck anyway, I have to keep them short because they are so thin and just bend back and forth naturally, but one slightly ragged cuticle will set me off for hours. I have tried everything under the sun to help mositurize them but have found the only thing that keeps me from going all Girl, Interrupted on them is if I get them groomed very often.
No, we are looking to adopt a child who is legally free for adoption. I know I could not handle fostering and have them return home. We hope to adopt a baby, but lately I have been considering adopting a preschooler. We may even be open to a sibling set - an infant and a preschooler. We will see what is in the cards for us.
