52 NEW Things in 2010

by | Jan 5, 2010 | Uncategorized | 10 comments

I don’t like New Year’s Resolutions — because it usually means I have to give up something and it’s not something I don’t like.  It’s usually something good like chocolate or butter — I love both of these.  I don’t want to resolve anything that requires I give up either

I’ve decided to try something new in 2010 (and I heard it first from BirminghamBargain Mom).  So, here is my FIRST series blog:

52 New Things in 2010

I love the idea of trying new things.  I’m in the midst of a NEW THING in my life so more new things seem appropriate.

I love new recipes, new books, new lipstick, new Post-its, new vacation spots, new roads, new friends… I think you get the idea.

Here’s the plan — I will try something NEW each week beginning  with the first full week of the year  and continue it for the following 51 weeks in 2010.

I will post my new thing on the following Monday.   I’ll share what I tried and what I thought about it.  My first New Thing post will be up January 11, 2010

What will I try?  Who knows.   I hope to experience some exciting new stuff this year.  My first NEW THING is gIRL! You can read all about it here.

If you want to come along for the ride — please do and share your new things with me (and the 8 people who read my blog).

For the first time…. EVER, I’m looking forward to a New Year’s resolution.

    Oh, YIPPEE!! I’m on board with this one, for sure. Especially since I’m on board with the other NEW THING, which I think you should link to in this post. Just sayin’. :o)

    I giggled at the Post-It note comment, because I was going to reference it earlier (in a different place) about how we were Post-It sisters!

    The Sweet By and By’s (by Sara Evans and Rachel Hauk) main character has a thing about Post-It notes. It made me think of you!

    I hope you’re having a great day!

    Sounds like a ride I’d love to be on. Love this. And thanks for your encouragement today. Miss your smile and laugh. You’re missing out on my chocolate smiles.

    I love new things as well, a new coffee cup; a new journal, POST IT NOTES!; FRIENDS; and I’m looking forward to getting to know you as well.

    Lovingly,

    This is a wonderful idea! Keep it up. I’m in NC and I’ll chime in every now and then. So nice to meet you.
