During 2009, I resolve to:
1. Dance more. Maybe learn how to dance. Okay, I love dancing. I don’t know if I’m any good at it, but I really enjoy it. Jon and I have talked about taking salsa lessons for forEVer. Perhaps this our year to actually, you know, do that.
2. Use all gift cards instead of putting them in a box and forgetting about them. Seriously. It’s free money. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
3. Stop fantasizing about vampires Robert Pattinson Christian Bale we’ll just stop right here, because this will never happen.
4. Keep a list of books I read. I tried this one year and lasted for about a month. We’ll see what happens this time around. Good thing I finished all four Twilight books before the start of the year. I’d feel kind of dirty including them on a list. Stipulation: re-readings of Harry Potter books don’t count.
5. Act like a celebrity whenever possible. This could be as small as wearing sunglasses that are too large for my face but pretending I’m okay with it, or as complicated as getting regular facials (hey, I don’t have kids OR a mortgage, shut up). I should also start booking weekend getaways to places like Cabo, or similar (South Padre Island?). But really, this resolution is all about having more confidence, real or imagined, and taking better care of myself. Also, if anyone would like to apply for my (unpaid) personal assistant position, e-mail me! I will make you peanut butter sandwiches. Wait, that would be your job.
6. Brunch more often. And yes, brunch is a verb.
7. Do some form of physical activity at least three times a week. This cliche resolution just has to be on here, as it is every year. Could be combined with resolution #1, if I keep said resolution. Ed. note: Moving fork to mouth does not count as physical activity.
8. Pay more attention to my budget – try to cut spending on unnecessary items. This could directly conflict with resolution #5, but who doesn’t love a challenge!
9. Take time every day to be grateful for what I have and for the people in my life. Aww.
Okay, I couldn’t think of any more. What are yours? Maybe I could steal one from you.

Wade and I are also talking about taking dance classes, and we found a place called Austin Uptown Dance Studio (183 / Rundberg) that does all kinds of dance classes, and they’re having an open house on March 1, with free two step, swing and salsa classes–y’all should check it out!

um… I almost hate to mention this because I know that you, like me, long for a day when all online social networks become one. Oh, screw it: Goodreads.com. There, I SAID it!
