Welcome to 2011!

Let's give a warm welcome to 2011! Today marks the beginning of a new year. Unfortunately, a headache from saying adios to 2010 has left me lazy for the day. I will say that it feels good to have a clean slate to work with. A new year means you can make changes in your life, which are hopefully positive. Resolutions are always funny because people want to get healthy, lose weight, etc. However, I always find myself wanting to make a resolutions to better my life and others, but never following through. So, I resolute to make this year's resolutions different!

Here are some of my aspirations for the new year.

• Be more positive--I tend to complain a lot behind closed doors
• Get my license--Knowing I turn 23 this year, I NEED to finally get a drivers license (ha!)
• Cook more frequently--Its easy to cook when I have free time, but once classes get going I fall short. I'm setting a goal of one meal per week during the semester in hopes that by setting a small goal I will always succeed (that's the key to resolutions!)
• Blog more often--Again, I'm setting a small goal of blogging once per week when class is in session. With papers, exams, and readings its hard to find time. However, cooking/blogging is "me time" so I must make room for that.

So I ask, what are resolutions?

I am excited to see what 2011 will bring. It will be a year for big things, I just know it.

To all of you in the blog-o-sphere, a happy, healthy, and safe 2011.

Until next thyme,
Erika
