2012 calls for some lipstick

In an effort to keep to some new year promises, I'm posting them here.  I love the idea of a fresh start for the new year ahead.  Here goes nothing...

Organize.  I'm always trying to be that person who puts everything away and back into it's place, but sometimes laziness gets the best of me.  This year, in a new house, I am going to try to find a place for everything and put.things.away.  I don't anticipate going crazy with a label-maker (maybe this should be a goal?), but I'd love to feel organized.  I'll tackle some small projects and larger ones.

Pictures.  I need to become better about taking pictures.  While we don't have a great camera (yet!), I have to start taking more when we're out doing things, and even of our everyday ordinary.  Also, I need to frame the pictures that I do have (more than two years past our wedding and not a framed photo in sight!  So sad.).  One goal this year is to create a gallery wall in our family room and hang some other photos.

Relax.  While A may disagree and think I do a little too much relaxing with the Real Housewives, sometimes I need to just take a breather and appreciate everything.  I have a tendency to accumulate stress and in the bigger picture, most of it is just not worth it.  I promise to live more in the moment, appreciate the finer things, and just be.

Walk/Run.  Ahhh...the required exercise resolution.  The goal is simple.  I must walk or run a few times each week.  Even when it's freezing, must bundle up and suck it up or brave the crowds at the gym.  There is a great workout gear wishlist on Fifi Cheek.  (Those adidas shoes will be mine!)

Lipstick.  Must wear more!  (a la the fabulous Carolyn Bessette Kennedy)
