What's a Bunny Goat?

I'm a professional administrator at a college, a mother of two incredible children, the luckiest wife on the planet (wait until you see my closet and my craft room!), a scrapbooker, a novelist (in training), a teacher, and a mom to a dog and two cats. I love Pearl Jam, Anne Tyler, "Young Goodman Brown," the color pink, and any strand of pearls that has ever been strung. I'm a former ballerina, now on a perpetual diet, but it's been almost a year since I quit smoking. Yay me! Now . . . to tackle those thirty pounds.

A habit a week

The new year didn't start off so well, but I don't intend to be sitting here next year lamenting everything I didn't get done or how I don't want to shop at the Dillard's 50% off sale on New Year's Day because I haven't lost any weight. To that end, here are my 52 new habits I intend to establish during 2012. I'll begin each week with a new habit while maintaining the previous habits. By the end of the year, I should love myself sufficiently.

1. take vitamin D and calcium, plus a baby aspirin each day
2. stop eating when you are full, and know you can eat more later
3. drink at least one bottle of water a day
4. moisturize my face every night
5. floss my teeth every night before brushing
6. apply lotion after shower and bath
7. carry hand lotion and apply after every hand washing
8. choose an outfit for work before bed
9. evaluate purse, shoes, and jewelry for outfit
10. moisturize hair with Burt's Bees avocado
11. make an appointment for manicure and pedicure
12. purge three articles of clothing or accessories
13. clean out email
14. write thank-you or appreciation notes and mail
15. meditate for fifteen minutes every day
16. craft one thing a week
17. call family every week
18. clean out a closet or drawer set every week
19. clean bathrooms every day
20. put dishes and drain board away
21. walk instead of driving at work and in parking lots
22. purge papers at work
23. create a storage space for decluttering
24. purge three household items each week
25. for every item brought in for decor, eliminate one
26. give one person validation, no matter the personal cost
27. say no, and be okay with it
28. eat only on your schedule and only what you love
29. sweep and mop a space that doesn't need daily care
30. wash curtains, slip covers, rugs, or blankets each week, rotating monthly
31. clean out car, vacuum, and go to car wash as needed
32. fix something around the house (caulk, dead light bulbs, door knobs, etc.)
33. do one thing to improve the outside of the house each week.
34. take a bubble bath once a week
35. light candles when you get home from work
36. change out a vignette each week
37. do homework so that weekends are free
38. do one monthly task each week (change air filters, make doctor appointments, etc.)
