Not resolutions, but a new to do list

I have never been good at keeping New Year's Resolutions. Let's face it, just because the date on the the calendar changed does not mean I was handed an extra ounce of perseverance or determination. Therefore, the last few years I have not even made any.

However, this year is a little different because New Years happened to coincide pretty closely with the start of my third trimester. So instead of resolutions, I have put together a "Before the Baby Comes To Do List" that has nothing to do with getting ready for the baby and more to do with doing those things I won't have time for or habits I want to start before he is here.

10. Read, read, read (anyone have some recommendations?)

9. Finish the advent quilt/calendar I started in September before we decided to sell our house.

8. Try new recipes, not just baking but new things for dinner and side dishes

7. Take Jake to obedience school

6. Eat out for lunch once a week or less (okay, this one does sound very resolution-ish)

5. Decorate my craft area

4. Start taking more video (using my new flip) and posting it here!

3. Take a day off of work and go to the zoo with Claire and Brent

2. Catch up on scrapbooking - I finally finished 2008, but I haven't even started on 2009

1. Start memorizing scripture as a family
