This month, I am going to read the directions to my treadmill and to the digital camcorder that my sister-in-law gave us for Christmas. I’d really like to know why it takes 8 1/2 to 9 laps to make a mile. I’m just curious. And we’ve been recording videos with the camcorder, I just can’t figure out how to get them to play on the computer. You’ll know I’ve been successful when I start torturing you with sharing videos of the kids.
{Side note: this camcorder was the best gift we received this Christmas. The responsible sister-in-law is also guilty of the worst gift of Christmas as well.}
What is a New Month’s Resolution? I’ve been doing these for over a year now. Every month I look at where I need to focus my attention. Perhaps I’ve been procrastinating on certain chores. Perhaps I need to spend some extra time with one or more of the kids. Perhaps I’d like to try a new habit. New Month’s Resolutions are not grandiose plans to lose ten pounds or declutter the entire house or give up smoking (of course, I don’t smoke, but if I did, this would not be the venue in which I would give it up). New Month’s resolutions are short-term commitments; they are easily attained goals; they focus on what is needed right now, instead of what is best for a lifetime.

Procrastination… I really need to work hard at this. Does anyone know who the Patron Saint is?Thanks,
Wow, I didn’t make any resolutions… But I am sure there are plenty for me to work on!Check out my blog for surprise. 🙂Carol
Just don’t use the Camcorder while on the treadmill.
Anna,I don’t know who the patron saint of procrastination is, but I’ll look it up later… 😉
To clean out/declutter my laundry/storage room area. It’s out of control and I’m tired of stepping over things to wash the clothes.
I’m the worst, yes, I’m a secret smoker. Not many, but a few a day to keep the blues away. Now that Ash Wednesday is upon us, it’s time to say goodbye to the Marlboro Lights. Now, I do this just about every year, only to slowly start up again around 4th of July. This year I hope to make it last forever. Wish me luck!
Three easy items:1. Make my bed early in the day.2. Shower early in the day.3. Read to my six year old when he gets home from kindergarten.Kelly
I wanted to organize ONE closet or area a month…complete overhauls. It’s only February and I am already behind…how sad. Front hallway closet, here I come!!!
I love it when you post these resolutions. They always remind me to keep it simple and just have a small goal. My life has been absolutely crazy the last few weeks and I am beginning to realize just how much I need an achieved goal under my belt to give me a boost. Ya know?Hey, what gives? I see I am no longer in the sidebar. Here I am..not being offended. 😉 I must have gotten either too boring or too infrequent. Hey, maybe that should be my goal!
I’m sorry, Nicole. I’ve had probelms with a particular “helper” who likes to play on the computer if I walk away. I think she got a few people.
For those of you – and myself – who wondered about the patron saint for procrastination I found this at catholic-forum.com I decided to copy the info rather than just the link…well for obvious reasons…we might be tempted to look at it later 🙂ExpeditusAlso known as Elpidius Memorial 19 April Profile Possibly legendary. Unclear whether his name led to his association with expeditious matters, or the other way around. This association led to his becoming the patron of people who had to deliver things on time. Canonized Pre-Congregation Patronage against procrastination, expeditious solutions, merchants, navigators, prompt solutions Representation young Roman soldier holding aloft a cross; young Roman soldier holding aloft a banner with the word “hodie”
