Commitment to Myself List

So I have never been big into "New Years Resolutions" and even if I tried it, I never stood by them. So this year, I have decided that I am going to make a Commitment to Myself List. This will be a list of things that I am going to commit to achieve for myself and only myself during 2011. A bit selfish... perhaps, but a happy mommy/wife makes a happy home, right?

I may add things to it as I mark other things off the list, or at least that is my hope.

Here goes:
*I commit to find a church and attend it at least once a month.
*I commit to weigh less than I do today at the end of 2011.
*I commit to pay off at least 2 credit cards this year.
*I commit to take the stairs at work more than I take the elevator.
*I commit to take my lunch to work at least 4 days a week if not 5.
*I commit to making my kids sit at the dinner table for dinner every night, something we did when they were small, but have gotten more lenient as they have gotten older.
*I commit to cleaning out and discarding crap out of one room per month in our house.
*I commit to getting rid of our storage unit in the next 3 months.
*I commit to finishing Rachel's scrapbook before graduation in May.
*I commit to clean out and find a way to organize my closet (whatever that means, I'm not sure yet because it is a hot mess and I may have to call in Kelly for reinforcement. It's kinda like Carri cleaning out her closet on SITC 1; a process for sure).
*I commit to getting the basement CLEANED out, we don't need to keep dollhouses and Tonka trucks anymore, right? I will likely buy the grandkids new crap when the day comes, so what the hell am I keeping it all for (Rachel, Mason, and Brady: not a hint for grandkids anytime soon, got it?)
*I commit to taking a week off at work just to have a staycation to get stuff done that I want to get done, not to run the kids all over God's Creation.

Ok, this is all I can think of now. I will need to add as I remember what else I want to accomplish in the next 12 months, but this is a good start, right?
