Screaming in the New Year

I thought I'd post that funny picture of Amelia, our New Years Baby, screaming with all of the New Year's paraphernalia.

So we are already 10 days into the NEW YEAR! I was cleaning out my documents on my computer and I found a eating journal with one entry from January 9, 2009. (the file name was 'eating log star date 1.9.2009' I am a nerd! I thought .. that's funny I was trying to lose weight right before I got pregnant.

So I think I will share my New Years goals, so that maybe I will have a better chance of completing them. In no particular order:

1) Running - I want to run the Provo Half Marathon. I should have enough time to build up mileage by the end of summer. The only problem will be on Saturdays will be, do I go on a long run? or do I go garage saling? ... Probably garage saling

2) CISSP - I've had these HUGE study books on my shelf or almost a year now. I think it's now or never that I become a Certified Information Systems Security Professional. I'm already a CISM (Certified Insane Silly Mommy) :-)

3) Paint - I want to paint at least one picture this year. Last year with the remodel, I didn't have a painting spot. Right now Pete is fixing up the downstairs kitchen which will be a great spot with enough light and ventilation to paint. I may take a class at the Bountiful Art Center. We'll See.

4) Write a book about computer security

These are pretty ambitious goals. I will be glad to check one goal off my list. :-) I guess I should have baby steps with the 3 kids - shower, eat, and make sure the laundry pile doesn't get taller than me. (It's not very hard, I'm kind of short) ha!
