Happy New Year! This year I will be following along with a few of my favorite bloggers, I will not be making New Years resolutions this year which is good since I usually fail miserably at keeping them. Instead I have made a list of 52 things I would like to accomplish over the course of the next 52 weeks.
Want to join me? Make your list and let me know you're joining in on the fun. If enough of you want to play along I may even make a button and do a quarterly check in party. I'll be your cheerleader if you'll be mine!
I will be updating my 52 in 52 as needed. It can always be accessed on the left under pages and hopefully will replace the It's Personal tab above soon.
Here are my 52 in 52...in no particular order.
1. Send at least 1 card with a hand written message to a friend or family member every month, birthday cards don't count.
2. Get back into some short of workout routine.
3. Have a mandatory family night {absolutely no exceptions} every Tuesday night.
4. Keep my new office clean and organized.
5. Keep my nails looking good, fresh polish and nice cuticles at all times.
6. Do not be late sending a gift or card for one single birthday- this means that Tuesday morning I will be sending an overnight package to a certain friend...dang I'm off to a great start!

Is one of your blogging buddy trips to Austin? :)
Feel free to send me a card too if you want.
Your list has an amazing amount of things that I need to accomplish, especially the one about taming my tongue. Good luck and happy 2012 to you as well.
Your list is wonderful - and I actually said to my sister I was going to get back to sending cards AND GIFTS regularly and on time (as she picked up Reese's bday gift and said OMG SO CUTE - who is this for?!?). And the nails thing...I'll be joining your list making ... Should be fairly easy for me to come up with stuff :)
