- TO SCRAPBOOK MORE!!!

- stop putting up my hand when something needs to be done i.e school, brownies etc.

- read more

That's all I can think of right now.........I'm sure there is more...........
:rolleyes:
 
My NYR is to pray more. It is not something I was taught to do, but I always feel better after doing it.
 
Already started on mine. ;) I'm going to budget and save better in the new year. I've already posted on the Budget board asking for Penny Pincher/Frugal type sites and received some great responses. I've started a price book already....list your most common things you buy like flour, sugars, canned goods and write down the prices from the different places I shop. Then I'll rotate my shopping each week, one week do a bulk store, next week Aldi's, next week WalMart...... We're still deciding between refinancing our current house or moving. Either way we'd save money on the lower interest on a mortgage. We already save all change for vacations. After over 12 years of not working I'll be starting a part-time job next week and DH has already declared that all of that money will be totally mine to do as I please. I think every other week I'll buy a savings bond and the rest I'll most likely get in the habit of splitting between regular savings, holiday savings and a lil mad money to buy extras. And I'll probably still hit garage sales in the summers to find things to resell on Ebay.
 

Mine is to be better organized. Once I get myself organized I think a lot of other things will fall into place. Things like, having some "me" time to do what I like (scrapbook, read, bake). And, get started selling on Ebay, budgeting our money better (more trips), having time to do reward programs, surveys ...

I started last night by tackling one room at a time and staying with it until it is de-cluttered, organized and clean. I'm even going to tackle the garage!

I've thrown away tons of "junk" already. I'm a little bit of a packrat.

Good luck to us all - we should check in and see how've been doing on our NYR. ::yes::
 
I am going to:

De-clutter (already took FIVE huge trash bags..like the outdoor type trash bag...of clothes to the Salvation Army).

Learn to scrapbook (wish me luck :) ).

Me too...on the budgeting!!! I'm buckling down on the Rewards Programs, selling on eBay, etc.

Good luck everybody on your resolutions!!!

Well, I guess DH's is to tackle the budget thing. We've tried so many times in the past, but never seem to get anywhere.

I also need to work on the de-clutter thing. I've made lots of progress since the Morning Sickness went away 2 months ago, but I still have more to do. Need to make room for Baby #2, afterall. I know if I can just keep after it, our "quality of life" will be so much better around here.

I really want to get back to my quilting. That was another thing that just ended when the Morning Sickness started, and I haven't been able to really get back to it until now (had to de-clutter the diningroom first).

I think since Baby #2 is coming in a few months, we'll have to pass on any Disney trips this year. But I figure that gives me a little more time to save for the next one--especially since DS will no longer be "free."
 
Eilonwy~Good luck w/ baby #2!!!

My NRY~~

De-clutter~in process
Organize~in process
Lose 10 pounds (15 year reunion this year, gotta look good after 3 kids!)
then again, keep trying for baby #4(and last!!!) so weight may not be an issue ;)
get another CttM sister site done
get more involved with my kids' activities (and lives for that matter!)
RP's~of course!
find a part-time job (I'd like some "Me" money) even though we've got 2 businesses already, what's another job?
geez, my list can go on forever at this point!!!!
