Project Preview!

Here's a preview of my latest FO. 

More to come later. 

Life Changing

This is one of the most amazing gifts I got for Christmas. I've wanted a yarn bowl for a while, but it's something I wouldn't buy for myself. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law picked this out for me. Such an amazing and thoughtful gift, especially from non-knitters.

This is life changing! I knit nearly everyday and it's made my knitting so much smoother.

New Year, New Resolutions

I love New Years. It's one of my favorite holidays. I think this is because I'm a very goal oriented person. I love making goals and accomplishing them. I've never understood the people that don't make New Year's resolutions. It's a time when you can take an honest look at your life, habits, and goals. A time to reflect on the past and change yourself for the better. 

I only make one resolution per year, but I keep it. No matter how hard it is to keep my resolution, I do it. Last year my resolution was to cut out fast food. I did allow Chick-fil-a as an exception -- it's just too good. I completed my goal and I will never go back to eating fast food. This also inspired me to take a better look at my diet. I'm not perfect in this regard, but I have made serious changes towards becoming the health nut that I've always wanted to be.

I pick resolutions that I want to make lifelong habits. This year my resolution is to workout at least three times a week. This goal is realistic enough that I can maintain it throughout the year.

Happy 2011!
