New Year, Post Number One 2012

So now I am starting to feel recovered from my awful hangover, I have started thinking about my new year's resolutions. Why we feel the need to always start the year feeling awful after a night of drinking I do not know!

I thought about putting in a general NYE picture in but then thought this was fairly apt. I saw this last week and would totally recommend it as a cute movie for a lazy cold evening! Picture from: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598822/

Anyhoo, I have decided to take two approaches to new year resolutions and plans. Firstly, I have a very short list of resolutions:

• Reply to my texts when they actually arrive (I'm rubbish at responding to people)
• Be more organised with my time
• Read one book per month on my new Kindle (thanks Mum and Dad)

I have decided not to put "lose weight" on my list because I always do and never have, so instead I have made eating healthy and exercise a continuous thing, not just a new year resolution.

My second approach is naming 12 things to accomplish in the year, one for each month. My boyfriend and I have two lists; one contains 12 things we want to do on our house this year and the other lists 12 random things we want to do this year such as go to the beach, run the equivalent of a marathan in a month or watch a movie from each decade since the 1940s. We haven't managed to come up with 12 yet, its actualy really hard to do so we're gonna fill in the rest later :-)

I'm really excited about new year this year, full of high expectations and dreams of happiness. 2011 was not the best of years and I cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store.

Hope you all had a lovely night last night. What are your new year's resolutions?

Happy New Year Xx
