I wasn’t going to jump on the bandwagon. Mostly, because January 1 of any year is generally a bad time for me to resolving to do anything besides drink more water (see below) and wash away the party guilt from the amazing time I had ushering out the previous year…

HOWEVER! Since this blog started almost two years ago to the day, and the premise was to track my resolutions (fail…), I figured updating my list couldn’t hurt.

2011 was an incredible year in so many ways. I spent time with family and friends. I hit the quarter century mark. UCONN won the Big East and National Championships. I fell hard for someone. I went to weddings. I spent two glorious weeks at the beach. I went to concerts. Oh, the concerts. I got over someone just as quickly as I fell. I got sick… a lot. I got promoted. I lost my dear Gram. I spent amazing holidays with my family at just the right times. And true to tradition, had a New Year’s Eve for the record books.

I expect that 2012 will be just as amazing. And learning from 2011, here are my top 5 for 2012:

1. Call my family. See my family. Tell my family I love them. As often as I can and then, once more for good measure. They won’t be here forever.
2. Bring my lunch. It’s costing me $10 a day to be lazy. That’s pricey.
3. Drink more water. Drink less booze (not in frequency, but in quantity). This is also a pricey habit…
4. Make time for yoga and runs at least twice a week (for each).
5. Take time to step back and appreciate how great things really are.
